Jerome Zerbib opened to 60,000 from early position and Richard Dixon shoved for his last 260,000 from the hijack. Action folded back around to Zerbib, who verified the amount and stuck in a call to put Dixon at risk.
Richard Dixon: 5♥5♦
Jerome Zerbib: Q♥10♥
The 10♠4♠J♣K♥J♠ runout paired Zerbib's ten to leave him best and Dixon was eliminated.
"That guy's my coach," Zerbib said as he pointed to fellow tablemate Ren Lin.
There were already around 350,000 chips in the pot on the turn with the board reading A♠2♥5♠2♦ when Dennis Ng checked, and David Miscikowski fired 160,000. Ng then made a very small raise to 325,000, and Miscikowski called.
A K♥ filled out the board on the river and Ng shoved for 505,000. Miscikowski thought about it a while and elected to call, which put Ng at risk.
Ng sheepishly turned over 8♠6♦ for eight-high, and Miscikowski revealed A♦J♦ for a pair of aces, which eliminated Ng.
Alejandro Lococo was all in for 810,000 from the big blind, against Raymond Xu on the button.
Alejandro Lococo: K♠K♣
Raymond Xu: A♠A♦
A Q♣3♣A♥ flop was not looking good for Lococo as Xu flopped a set.
The 9♥ turn sealed his fate and he stood from the table as the dealer placed the K♦ river.
The action folded to Jim Reid in the small blind and he pushed all-in for Antoine Saout to call with the covering stack from the big blind.
Jim Reid: 3♣3♠
Antoine Saout: K♠Q♦
Reid asked for low cards but then asked for clubs on the Q♣J♣5♣ flop. That came with the 2♣ turn to leave Saout drawing dead to win the pot, as the 2♠ river paired the board. Reid asked for 405,000 and Saout was left with 120,000.
One hand later, Saout jammed for 120,000 in the small blind and Diogo Veiga called in the big blind.
Antoine Saout: Q♠7♣
Diogo Veiga: A♣J♥
The 9♣4♠2♦10♠10♣ board missed both players and ace-jack dealt the final blow. Saout had reached the WSOP Main Event final table in Las Vegas including a third place for $3,479,669 in 2009.
Reid then declared he had used his one time, to which Oren Haziza replied "oh, you get a new one tomorrow".
"You get a one time every day? I didn't know that ... you learn something every day," Reid finished the conversation.
James Reid raised to 60,000 in the cutoff and Diogo Veiga called on the button. Alexandros Michas then moved all in for 700,000 in the big blind, Reid called, and Veiga folded.
Alexandros Michas: 5♥5♠
James Reid: A♥A♦
Reid has woken up with aces to leave Michas at serious risk of elimination, and no help was forthcoming on the 8♣Q♣7♠J♠4♣ as Michas was sent to the rail.
"I had sevens," Veiga said, admitting he would've hit a set to win the pot had he played.
Biao Ding opened to 60,000 from the cutoff and was called by Aaron Van Blarcum on the button. Jordan Scott then three-bet to 265,000 out of the small blind, getting a call from Ding while Van Blarcum opted to fold.
Scott continued for 215,000 on the 3♥6♣8♦ flop. Ding flatted to send the two players to the turn.
The turn came J♠ and Scott, undeterred by Ding's stickiness, moved all in for 675,000. Ding thought long and hard but eventually chose the conservative route by tossing his hand in the muck to take a hit to his stack.
Stephen Song raised to 60,000 from under the gun with 7♦6♦, Arthur Morris three-bet to 185,000 from the cutoff after waking up with A♠A♥. Tyler Montoya was in the big blind with A♦K♥ and four-bet to 400,000. Song got out of the way and Morris five-bet to 1,356,000, putting Montoya all in.
Montoya took some time, but eventually found a fold, giving Morris the chips.
Will Berry raised from the hijack to 65,000 and James Tian moved all in for 695,000 from the button. Berry was the only caller and the players flipped their hands and went to the flop.
James Tian: 9♦9♣
Will Berry: K♥Q♥
Tian was ahead but Berry has some shot of the scoop with two overs.
The 8♦A♦3♣ flop kept Tian in the lead, and the 9♠ turn sealed the double. Tian took the pot as the 6♣ was placed on the board.
Hai Pham opened from early position to 60,000 and Yingge Yan three-bet to 150,000 from middle position. The action folded back to Pham who made it 400,000, and Yan shoved. Pham snap-called for his stack of 910,000.
Hai Pham: A♣A♠
Yingge Yan: K♣K♠
An unfortunate situation for Yan which didn't get any better as Pham flopped top set and turned a full house on the A♥3♣6♠6♦7♠ runout.
Kenneth Kim opened to 60,000 first-to-act and action folded around to Daniel Jones, who three-bet to 205,000 from the big blind. Kim called.
Kim called a 150,000 bet from Jones on the 3♣A♠J♠ flop and a hefty 700,000 bet from Jones on the 3♥ turn.
The 10♥ completed the board and both players checked. Jones flung his hand into the muck and Kim turned over A♦K♥ to claim the pot.
