According to Caldas, Nuwwarah raised to 55,000 under the gun and received two callers before Caldas three-bet to 280,000 in the big blind. Nuwwarah then moved all in for 1,100,000 with two eights as action folded back to Caldas, who called with two queens.
Nuwwarah didn't find any miracles on the board and was sent to the rail while Caldas moved up past 6,000,000.

Adrian Garcia: A♠K♠
Adrian Mateos: A♥A♣
Garcia was crushed, with Mateos the huge favorite for the 5,940,000 pot.
The 10♠9♥8♦ flop left Garcia with backdoor opportunities, with the 9♠ turn giving Garcia a flush draw. The 3♠ river gave Garcia the flush to crack Mateos' aces, with the latter sickened as most of his stack went over to his opponent.
Jonathan Little three-bet to 175,000 on the button and David Simon called in early position.

Simon checked the J♦ river and Little again checked back. "Ace-jack," Simon said as he showed A♣J♣ for two pair.
"Come on," Little replied as he threw his cards into the muck. "That's two times you've had ace-jack. If you don't win this tournament, it's going to be a miracle," Little added.
The cards were already on their backs post flop and the stack of Yegor Moroz was counted to be for 755,000 when his K♥Q♠ came out on top on the Q♥4♥2♠6♦A♠ board. Jessie Bryant was his opponent who had flopped and missed a flush draw to take a significant cut to his stack.
