Jevon Lam opened the action with a raise to 20,000 in early position. Angela Jordison moved all in from the button for 132,000 and Lam made the call.
Angela Jordison: A♣A♦ 
Jevon Lam: K♥Q♥
An action flop of 10♥7♣A♥ gave Jordison top set but Lam jumped into the lead after the 3♥ hit the felt. Needing the board to pair, the 4♦ river rolled off and Jordison was sent to the payout desk.
Koray Aldemir opened to 20,000 from under the gun before an opponent in middle position three-bet to 55,000. Action folded back around to Aldemir, who took some time reaching a decision. His opponent, meanwhile, was busy getting his phone ready to film the hand. Aldemir opted to flat to generate a sizable pot before the flop.
The flop came 3♣3♥9♥, prompting Aldemir to check. The middle position player continued for 40,000, then called with the slightly larger stack after Aldemir responded by moving all in for 178,000.
Koray Aldemir: 10♦10♠
Middle Position Player: K♠K♥
Aldemir was in terrible shape with his tournament life on the line, that is until a miraculous 10♥ rolled off the deck on the turn. The 4♣ river completed the board to hand Aldemir a huge double while leaving the middle position player with dust.
After a raise from a player in early position to 20,000, Aram Zobian called on the button before Taylor von Kriegenbergh three-bet to 82,000 from the small blind. The initial raiser folded but Zobian reraised all in and von Kriegenbergh quickly called for 297,000 effective.
Taylor von Kriegenbergh: A♠A♣
Aram Zobian: J♠J♣
A preflop cooler in von Kriegenbergh's favor, the board ran out 7♥9♥2♣K♠A♥ and he doubled up.
Scott Blumstein jammed all-in for the last 109,000 from an early position and was called by Ala Aqel in the small blind.
The A♦3♠ of Blumstein were up against 7♠7♥ and turned a wheel draw on Q♠9♥2♣4♣. Instead, it was the old-fashioned Barry Greenstein to the rescue on the A♥ river to keep the former Main Event champ in contention.
Adrian Garcia opened from middle position to 20,000 and David Yokoyama called from the hijack. Richard Warnicke then three-bet the minimum to 30,000, which both Garcia & Warnicke called.
All three players saw a flop of 6♥8♦5♣ which Warnicke checked, Garcia bet 30,000, Yokoyama folded, and Warnicke raised to 80,000. After thinking for a while, Garcia called.
On the 8♥ turn, Warnicke led out for 150,000, and Garcia called.
A 9♥ landed on the river and after around thirty seconds, Warnicke shoved for around 250,000. Garcia took just two seconds before he flicked in a call, which put Warnicke at risk.
Warnicke confidently tabled 7♥4♥ for a flopped straight that backdoored a flush, but Garcia had A♥5♥ for a bigger flush, which ended Warnicke's run in the Main Event.
First to act, Christopher Staats jammed for the last 68,000 and the player one seat over reraised to 125,000 to isolate successfully.
It was a flip for Staats with 7♥7♠ versus A♦K♥ and the pair remained ahead on the J♦9♥5♥6♦4♣ runout.
Marcelo Tadeu Aziz Junior raised to 21,000 in middle position, Hiroyuki Noda moved all in for 141,000 in the cutoff, and Aziz Junior called.
Hiroyuki Noda: A♠Q♣
Marcelo Tadeu Aziz Junior: 6♣6♦
Noda was racing for his tournament life against the tournament chip leader and found no help on the 7♠9♥3♥7♣8♦ board as Aziz Junior added to his stack with a bustout.
