Fernando Rodriguez in the small blind got his stack of 570,000 in against the player under the gun preflop and was at risk.
Fernando Rodriguez: A♠A♦ 
Under the gun: K♠K♣
The 10♠6♣4♠8♣4♥ board brought no surprises and Rodriguez raked in a double-up.
Heads-up on a board of 5♦4♣2♣9♠, Alex Livingston bet 40,000 from early position and Luis Dorneles called in the big blind.
The river was the 3♠ and Livingston bet 75,000. Dorneles again called and turned over Q♦9♦ for top pair. Livingston mucked and Dorneles took the pot.
The next hand, Livingston and Dorneles went heads-up again to the 9♣2♦Q♦ flop. Livingston bet 55,000 and Dorneles called.
Livingston bet 100,000 on the 2♠ turn and Dorneles called once more. Both players checked the 6♦ river and Dorneles showed Q♠8♠ for two pair to take another pot.
A player in middle position opened to 30,000 and the hijack made it 90,000. Taylor Black was in the cutoff and cold four-bet to 210,000, which got the rest of the table to fold.
There was a small blind versus big blind confrontation, and Martin Pineiro went all in with his stack of 160,000.
Martin Pineiro: Q♠Q♥
Big Blind: J♦J♠
Pineiro had his opponent pipped, and nothing changed as the board ran out 7♣6♣3♦6♥2♥ to earn him a double.
A player raised to 35,000 under the gun and the small blind called before Sangwon Ko moved all in for 225,000 in the big blind. The under-the-gun player reshoved and the small blind got out of the way.
Sangwon Ko: A♦A♣
Opponent: J♦8♦
Ko was far ahead with his aces and his opponent found no help on the 4♣7♠Q♦K♥K♦ board as Ko doubled up.
Ko also moved all in the next two hands but got no takers this time as he took down the pots uncontested.
Action picked up on the river with a large pot developing in a hand between Russell Rosenblum in late position and the player in middle position.
With the board reading 7♣3♣2♠K♦J♠, middle position checked and Rosenblum fired out a hefty bet of 450,000.
After taking some time to think through his decision, middle position eventually flicked in the call and saw the bad news Rosenblum tabled 3x3x for a set of threes.
The details of the hand were relayed to PokerNews by a player at the table not involved in the hand.
A player opened to 35,000 from middle position before Francisco Sanchez three-bet to 85,000 on the button. The middle position player responded with a four-bet to 185,000, which Sanchez flatted.
The middle position player moved all in for 340,000 following the 8♦9♣10♣ flop and Sanchez quickly called with the covering stack.
Middle Position Player: K♥10♦
Francisco Sanchez: Q♣Jx
Sanchez had flopped a straight to leave his opponent drawing extremely thin. A blank on the turn gave Sanchez the tickmark prior to the Kx river to send the middle position player out of the tournament.
Luis Vazquez just eliminated another player after a massive pot that catapulted him to the top of the chip counts, and the table filled in the details.
A player raised in early position and Vazquez called in middle position, as did the small blind. The flop came K♦10♦8♣ and Vazquez bet 35,000. The small blind raised to 120,000, Vazquez reraised to 260,000, and the small blind called.
The turn was the Q♣, and Vazquez bet another 340,000. His opponent tanked for several minutes, and Vazquez called the clock. The small blind eventually moved all in for around 1,000,000, and Vazquez called with 9♦7♦ for straight and flush draws.
His opponent had K♣10♣ for two pair and his own flush draw, but the river was the A♦ as Vazquez completed his draw to win the pot and climb past 4,000,000.
Dragana Mackelprang tossed in a bet on a turn of 5♦8♣6♠K♦ and was called by the opponent on her left. The 8♥ river then completed the board and Mackelprang bet another 200,000.
Her opponent spent some time in the tank before finding a call. Mackelprang showed K♥Q♦ for two pair and was awarded the pot as her opponent mucked.
