Yake Wu raised under the gun to 550,000 and Christopher Vitch three-bet from the small blind to 1,400,000. Wu called and both players checked the 9♣A♣8♣ flop.
On the J♦ turn, Vitch shoved all in for roughly a pot-sized bet, where Wu quickly called.
Christopher Vitch: K♣K♥
Yake Wu: Q♠10♠
Vitch saw the bad news that Wu had turned a straight, and would need a club on the river to stay alive. The 4♥ was a brick, and Vitch was sent to the rail.

Benjamin Horgan shoved all in from under the gun for 3,185,000 and Christophe Formisano called off his 1,400,000-chip stack from the button.
Christophe Formisano: Q♥Q♦
Benjamin Horgan: A♣J♦
Formisano was on the hunt for a double-up but the A♦9♣6♦ flop put a huge dent in his chances of achieving his goal. No help arrived on the K♥ turn nor 4♥ river which meant Formisano was eliminated.

Action folded around to Joseph Dulaney in the cutoff who moved all in for his 1,800,000-chip stack. Kitty Kuo raised to 4,000,000 to isolate the player, and it worked as they went heads up to a full board.
Joseph Dulaney: K♦9♦
Kitty Kuo: 5♦5♠
The runout came 10♠3♦K♠3♥9♥ and Dulaney found his double up.

With around 2,000,000 chips in the pot on a flop of 10♣A♣7♠, the under-the-gun player shoved all in for 2,750,000 effective, and Angel Granados snap-called.
Angel Granados: A♦J♥
Under-the-Gun Player: J♦J♠
Granados only needed to fade one out and managed to do so as the K♥ turn and 3♥ river kept his flopped pair of aces in the lead.

Jefferson James shoved all in from the hijack for 5,050,000 and the player in the big blind went into the tank, before eventually calling the clock on himself. With two seconds left to spare, the big blind arrived at a call.
Jefferson James: A♠K♥
Big blind: K♣J♥
The flop fell 9♦6♣J♣ and James went from being way ahead to way behind. The 3♥ turn offered no help, putting him on the brink of elimination, now needing an ace on the river to stay alive.
James saw the good news when the dealer put out the A♥ on the river, as the pot was pushed towards him.
