Ren Lin raised to 17,000 in early position and was called by Vid Zagar in middle position, as well as David Brashier in the big blind.
The flop came 9♦5♦2♠ and Lin bet 25,000. Zagar folded, while Brashier called to see the 4♣ turn.
Lin then bet 100,000 and Brashier again called. The river was the 8♠ and Lin put in his "No Gamble, No Future" patch, as well as a tower of chips to put Brashier all in.
Brashier had around 320,000 remaining and tanked for a few minutes before letting his hand go.

Max Sharpe raised to 16,000 from late position and then called the shove by Yuze Ding in the hijack for what appeared to be 131,000 total. The other all-in showdown had gathered all the attention of the room and nobody was around yet, but all cameras then followed over to Table 541 to witness the below showdown.
Yuze Ding: K♣K♠
Max Sharpe: A♣K♥
Kings stayed ahead on the Q♠10♥2♠ flop but the J♥ turn gave Sharpe broadway. Ding now needed an ace to chop but the 10♠ river was no help, reducing the field to 1,519 players.

The action was held up as there was an all in and call after the flop of 8♥5♣J♣. Daniel Kirsch was about to be the one at risk for his stack of around 450,000 against Yulian Bogdanov. The two players waited as the swarm of cameras and media gathered around the table. Jack Effel eventually made his way over and announced the action.
Daniel Kirsch: 8♠8♣
Yulian Bogdanov: A♣9♣
Kirsch had a set and would need to fade clubs. The turn was the K♥ and the river the 6♦ and Kirsch avoided bubble elimination.

Arriving on a turn of 4♦Q♦5♠5♦, Michael Graydon called a bet of Zachary Schwartz, leading to a big pot of roughly 175,000 in the middle.
The A♠ then fell on the river and saw Schwartz put enough chips in the middle to put his opponent all in for his final 185,000, but Graydon thought better of it and quickly mucked.
