Cole Uvila opened to 60,000 from early position and was called by Luis Vazquez and Nikola Minkov from the hijack and cutoff. Joe Tehan three-bet to 425,000 from the big blind and folded out his opponents for a nice pick up.
The following hand, Kevin Butler moved all in for 505,000 from the cutoff and Dmitrii Kuzin reshoved for around 720,000 from the button. Tehan folded in the small blind before Andrew Arbogast called to put both players at risk.
Kevin Butler: J♦J♠
Dmitrii Kuzin: A♦10♦
Andrew Arbogast: A♥K♥
Butler was pleased to see that two aces were already accounted for but the A♠8♥2♦ flop put Arbogast in the driving seat for the double bust out.
The 9♣ turn and 6♣ river did not help the at-risk players, who departed the tournament room as Arbogast dragged into the pot.

"It might be the biggest pot of the tournament so far," a player told PokerNews, looking at the 2,000,000 chip pot and the 3♣8♥10♣2♠ board he had in front of him.
According to this player, the cutoff opened preflop, Jacob Thibodeau on the button three-bet to 200,000, and Boris Angelov in the big blind four-bet to 550,000. Thibodeau called, then on the flop, he called a continuation bet of 500,000.
On the turn, Angelov bet 750,000 and Thibodeau called once more to see the 10♦ river, where Angelov moved all-in for approximately 2,000,000.
Thibodeau went deep into the tank, and after more than five minutes, he still couldn't make a decision. But when another player called the clock, Thibodeau made the call with JxJx. However Angelov had A♣A♥ and scooped this massive pot. Thibodeau was covered, so he was eliminated in 300st place for $45,000.

Kristen Foxen opened to 60,000 from early position and received calls from Hai Pham on the button as well as Yingge Yan in the big blind.
Action checked to Pham following the 2♠9♣A♠ flop and he bet 110,000. Yan responded by moving all in for 270,000. Foxen called while Pham, after some consideration, chose to get out of the way.
Yingge Yan: A♥10♣
Kristen Foxen: A♣A♦
The case ace had made its way onto the flop to leave Yan drawing dead as the dealer quickly completed the board with Q♥J♣ to hand Foxen a sizable pot as her strong Day 5 continues.

Jesse Lonis raised with A♠A♦ from middle position and Hon Cheong Lee called with 6♠6♥, who was sitting to the direct left of Lonis.
The 4♠4♥K♣ flop kept Lonis in the lead and he bet 45,000, with Lee making the call.
The 6♣ turn brought in the full house for Lee as he stormed ahead. Lonis left with only an Ace as an out. Lonis continued betting to 185,000 and Lee called.
The river came the A♣, and Lonis regained the lead. Lonis bet 480,000 and Lee shoved for 930,000, with Lonis making a snap call.
Lee was knocked out of the tournament with no chance of getting away after a brutal runout.

Alex Livingston moved all in for 275,000 from early position and was looked up by Guillermo Sanchez Otero on the button.
Alex Livingston: J♠10♠
Guillermo Sanchez Otero: 7♦7♠
"I like my hand," Livingston told the table as he saw that he would need to win a flip to survive. The A♣Q♥K♣ flop instantly improved the at-risk player to broadway and seemingly locked up the pot for Livingston. Otero found some hope, however, on the 7♥ turn with the A♦ river completing a rollercoaster runout that saw Otero's runner-runner full house down the flopped joint of Livingston.

Picking up the action on the river, Alex Greenblatt in the small blind was involved in a hand with Joseph Bold on the button.
With the board reading 9♠3♥Q♠4♦7♦ and a large number of chips already in the middle, Greenblatt moved all in for 775,000. After asking for a count, Bold made the call but mucked with some frustration after Greenblatt tabled 9♣7♣ for two pair as he conceded a pot with massive equity considerations to his opponent.
Elsewhere, Giuseppe Vassallo was seen making his way to the payout desk.

Charles Russell opened the cutoff to 80,000 and John Andress shoved his stack of around 650,000 into the middle from the button. Once the blinds folded, Russell called.
John Andress: K♦K♣
Charles Russell: 7♦7♣
Andress was in good shape to double up but his hopes were dashed when the flop of 5♠J♣7♠ improved Russell to a set. A J♠ landed on the turn which, despite giving Russell a full house, did bring some more outs for Andress as now any king or jack would see him survive. Unfortunately for Andress, a 10♠ fell on the river which meant he was eliminated.
