Heads-up on a flop of Q♥7♠5♥, Kenneth Kim bet 225,000 from the cutoff and Karol Masarovic called in middle position.
The turn was the 3♣ and Kim bet another 325,000. Masarovic again called to see the 10♠ river.
Kim then moved all in and Masarovic, with around 1,200,000 remaining, tanked for a minute before folding.
Jeffrey Kenny raised from under the gun to 65,000 with A♥Q♦ and Tyler Montoya called from the cutoff with J♠J♣.
The flop came 8♣3♦3♣ and Kenny checked. Montoya opted to bet 60,000 and Kenny raised to 180,000.
The turn came 10♥ and Kenny bet 350,000. Montoya called.
The 7♥ river didn't change anything and Montoya had the best hand. Kenny checked and Montoya took the pot after checking back.
Jonathan Tamayo got his stack of 475,000 in from the cutoff and was looked up by Casey Stewart from under the gun.
Jonathan Tamayo: A♣K♠ 
Casey Stewart: A♠Q♦
The superior ace paired up with the K♥8♥4♦ flop but a sweat followed with the J♥ turn. Nothing changed on the 3♠ river and Tamayo doubled.
One hand later, Abdullah Al-Shanti raised to 60,000 and folded when Jim Reid moved all-in for 405,000 by placing the chips near the shot glass.
Darren Rabinowitz was all in for his 530,000 remaining stack in the big blind against Charles Alex-Barton from under the gun.
Darren Rabinowitz: K♥6♥
Charles Alex-Barton: J♥J♣
The 6♣9♥8♥ flop gave Rabinowitz some home with a number of outs, including a flush draw.
The A♠ turn kept Alex-Barton ahead.
Rabinowitz didn't find any improvement on the 7♠ river and was eliminated from the tournament.
The dealer announced a seat open over on table 666 and Toronto's Demosthenes Kiriopoulos was the one waiting for the payout runner. In a multi-way pot, his Q♣Q♠ had found their master in the A♣A♥ of Brian Hawkins as the aces held on a board of 8♥8♣4♣6♠7♦.
Rene Nezhoda gave PokerNews the information on a big hand that went down on his table between Lonny Eisenberg and Daniel Wendorf.
Eisenberg had opened from middle position and Wendorf called out of the small blind.
They saw a flop of QxJx10x which Wendorf check-called a bet on.
The turn was a 7x and Wendorf check-shoved, which Eisenberg called.
Daniel Wendorf: 10x10x
Lonny Eisenberg: AxKx
Wendorf needed the board to pair and spiked a 7x on the river to boat up which saw the 4,000,000-chip pot go his way.
Bryan Dickens raised to 60,000 from under the gun, and he was called by Adel Naoun in the cutoff, Parker Talbot on the button and Aditya Prasetyo in the big blind.
On a flop of 3♠10♠9♦, Prasetyo checked then saw Dickens moving all-in for 410,000.
Naoun quickly folded, as well Talbot, and Prasetyo eventually chose to fold as well.
Rene Nezhoda opened from early position and Ryan Franklin shoved for around 500,000 from the cutoff. Once the blinds folded, Nezhoda made the call.
Ryan Franklin: A♠K♦
Rene Nezhoda: Q♥Q♠
Franklin flopped a straight draw then turned a pair on the 10♦J♥3♦K♠5♦ runout which earned him a double-up.
Jean Lhuillier raised to 60,000 in the cutoff and Rudy Cervantes called on the button. David Wintersberger then three-bet to 300,000 in the big blind and Lhuillier folded. Cervantes, though, moved all in for 810,000 and Wintersberger snap-called.
Rudy Cervantes: 9♦9♠
David Wintersberger: 10♠10♥
Cervantes was dominated by Wintersberger's better pocket pair and found no help on the K♦3♠6♦8♣5♣ board as he was sent to the rail.
At the same time at another table, action folded to Ren Lin who raised to 100,000 in the small blind. Nicholas Howard then three-bet to 275,000.
Lin reraised to 600,000 and Howard quickly folded.
"Show the bluff," a tablemate said.
"$200 cash," Lin replied as, with no money forthcoming, he mucked his cards facedown.
"No cameras, no bluff. Aces. That's the last time you'll three-bet me," Lin told Howard as he took the pot.
Michael Pettinella opened to 60,000 from early positon before Andrew Hanna three-bet to 180,000 from middle position. Han Ming Feng called from the small blind and Petttinella also came along.
The 8♦7♠2♦ flop checked through to the 6♣ turn, where Feng led out for 200,000. Only Pettinella called.
The 2♣ completed the board, and Feng began counting out his stack. After some thinking time, he sized up to 650,000, leaving around 60,000 behind.
Pettinella went deep into the tank, immediately informing the table that he may need a minute.
"Sick spot bro," said Pettinella as he stood up from his chair. More time passed and Pettinella continued his attempt to get a read, asking Feng if he would show if Pettinella folded.
Feng remained stoic, taking a swig out of his drink can.
The drink sounded empty, which Petinnella picked up on.
"There's not even anything in there."
Pettinella then offered Feng his glass dice card protector and offered him to roll it. Feng remained as still as a statue.
Pettinella continued to mull over his options, extending his apologies to the table and would have no objections if anyone called the clock.
"Nice hand," said Pettinella as he threw his cards into the muck, awarding the pot to Feng, who also returned his cards to the dealer after the hand played out.
