Matt Shepsky was seen collecting the rest Ka Kwan Lau's chips.
Lau had gone all in preflop with K♠K♦7♥3♠ and was up against Shepsky's A♣A♥10♣6♥ on a completed board of J♦J♣6♣10♦J♠ — leaving Shepsky best with jacks-full of aces to send the defending champion to the rail.

Veselin Karakitukov has had bit of a rollercoaster over the last few minutes that has seen his stack go up and then back down.
First, Karakitukov shoved for 110,000 on a board of 10♣2♠J♥7♣2♣ and got a call from the player on the button. Karakitukov showed 10♠10♥5♥3♣ for a full house, and beat the button's K♣Q♥9♣7♦, who had a flush.
Not long after, Karakitukov was involved again, this time on a board of 9♥4♣9♦7♦3♥. There were around 170,000 chips in the pot and Karakitukov had bet 60,000 on the river, only for the player on his right to then make it 150,000. Karakitukov quickly folded.

Shiva Dudani: A♥Q♦J♠10♥ 
Ren Lin: A♣9♣9♦4♥
The board ran out 7♠J♥2♦9♥10♠; Lin turned a set to eliminate Dudani on the last level of the day.
