James Chen had already been the chip leader and then knocked out a late entrant, who was at risk with the A♥A♦8♣2♦.
Chen held the Q♦10♥9♦7♥, which casually flopped the nut straight on 8♦6♣5♥ when the chips went in. The K♦ turn was a sweat but the K♣ river came a blank, as Chen added even more chips.

Eelis Parssinen and Fahredin Mustafov in the cutoff had created a pot of 182,000 when they went to a flop of 8♦6♠9♥. Parssinen led out for 51,000 and Mustafov made the call.
Parssinen then jammed all in on the 2♥ turn for 271,000 and was quickly called by Mustafov, who had the covering stack.
Eelis Parssinen: K♣10♦9♦7♣ 
Fahredin Mustafov: A♥A♣Q♠3♥
The 5♣ river did not complete Mustafov's flush draw, and Parssinen's flopped straight saw him win a pot of over 160 big blinds.

Josh Arieh opened to 13,000 from under the gun and then called after a player in the big blind three-bet to 42,000.
The big blind continued for 20,000 on the 3♦6♥6♣ flop with Arieh making the call.
Both players checked through the 9♣ turn to the 5♣ river at which point they each checked to showdown. The big blind tabled A♣A♥K♥J♠ for a winner to send Arieh slipping further down the chip counts.

Nakache quickly mucked his hand, and the pot was shipped to the 11-time bracelet winner.

On the tail end of the 6♦5♦2♦6♥Q♠ board, Andrew Watson checked with 72,000 behind. Emanuel Singer then bet 150,000 to cover his opponent.
Watson tank-called and Singer declared "just the six" before showing A♠10♠8♥6♣ for trips sixes. Watson had that beat with K♦K♥5♠5♥ for fives full of sixes to double right before their table broke.

After he had previously chipped up through Elie Nakache, Phil Ivey sent the chips back in the same direction and was sent to the rail. They only got it in after the 7♠5♠2♠6♣J♠ river on which Nakache showed the A♠K♥Q♣8♠ for the nut flush and Ivey tossed his cards towards the muck.
The dealer briefly exposed what appeared to be a nine-high straight.
