Arriving on the turn of 6♦7♣5♠K♣ Biao Ding checked from middle position and David Miscikowski followed suit in the cutoff.
The J♠ river then arrived and Ding bet a tiny 30,000 into the pot of 300,000. Miscikowski raised it up to a massive 390,000, sending Ding in the tank for several minutes.
Eventually, he folded his hand and granted the pot to his opponent.
Shawn Rice raised to 40,000 in early position and a player on the button called. The big blind then three-bet to 430,000, leaving just around 50,000 behind, and Rice called. The button quickly folded.
The flop came 10♠9♣8♥ and Rice bet enough to put his opponent all in. The big blind looked up at the tournament clock and waited a minute before calling.
All-In Player: K♠Q♠ 
Shawn Rice: A♦A♥
Rice was ahead with his aces and the at-risk player couldn't catch up on the 2♣ turn and 4♥ river as he was sent to the rail in the closing moments of Day 4.
The button then admitted he folded two eights. "Once you called, I knew you had a big hand," he told Rice.
Jimmy Gorham raised to 40,000 in early position and the player on the button three-bet to 100,000.
Action folded back around to Gorham, who four-bet all in, putting the button at risk.
With about 525,000 behind, the button took some time to think through his decision before tossing his cards into the muck.
Heads-up to the 10♣2♦2♥8♦ turn, Clement Van Driessche made it 230,000 to go and was called only by the cutoff. He then led the 3♥ river for just 100,000 and his opponent reluctantly folded.
Aleksejs Ponakovs opened from under the gun to 40,000 and Bin Weng three-bet from two seats over to 85,000. It folded back to Ponakovs who made the call.
On the 9♦10♥K♥ flop, Ponakovs check-folded to Weng's 90,000-chip continuation-bet.
Diogo Veiga was all in for 410,000 in the hijack, Pascal Pflock stuck in his last 80,000 in the big blind, and the button had both players covered and at risk.
Pascal Pflock: J♣8♣
Diogo Veiga: 6♣6♦
Button: A♥7♣
The 8♦6♠3♠ flop gave Pflock top pair, but Veiga spiked a set and held up through the 10♠ turn and K♠ river to win the pot and send Pflock to the rail while doubling up off the button.
The tournament director has announced that three more hands will be played on Day 4.
Alex Livingston opened to 50,000 on the button, and a player defended in the big blind.
Action checked to Livingston on the A♣10♥8♦ flop, and he continued for 40,000. The big blind made the call after stalling for some time due to an impending pay jump.
The turn came 5♥, prompting the big blind to bet out 65,000. Livingston snap raised enough to cover his opponent, who, after tanking for a few minutes, called off for his remaining 125,000 or so.
Big Blind Player: J♣10♠
Alex Livingston: A♥3♥
Livingston had flopped top pair to leave his opponent drawing fairly thin. The river came 7♠ to confirm the pot and knockout for Livingston as play on Day 4 draws to a close.
James Tian approached PokerNews at the end of the night to recap an interesting hand he played against Stephen Song.
According to Tian, he raised under the gun with pocket tens to 45,000, Song called in the hijack, and the big blind defended.
The flop came 10♥J♥3♣, the big blind checked, he bet 75,000, Song called and the big blind got out of the way.
The turn landed the 3♦, he bet 75,000 again, Song made it 190,000 and he called.
The river brought the Jx, he checked, Song bet 200,000 and he called after going into the tank. Song tabled 3x3x for quads.
Tian then went on to explain that he was down to 250,000 after that hand, but ran it back up 1,100,000 before the end of the night.
Matt Souza jammed for 385,000 from under the gun and Shashi Ramakrishna flat-called. It folded to Joseph Ermatinger in the big blind and he tank-folded the A♠J♦ face-up.
Matt Souza: 10♣10♠
Shashi Ramakrishna: A♥K♥
The pocket pair held on the Q♣7♦6♠6♣J♣ runout and after the river, Ermatinger jumped out of his chair in frustration and loudly said "you no balls son of a bitch".
