David Collins raised to 325,000 under the gun as action folded to Bruno Porto in the big blind, who three-bet to 1,200,000. Collins called.
The flop came 10♠7♠4♠. "Pulling the trigger?" Collins asked Porto before the Brazilian bet 275,000. Collins immediately announced all in and Porto snap-folded.
"Two queens?" a tablemate asked Collins.
"No. You think I'm just flatting with two queens," Collins replied.
Action folded around to the blinds, where Stephen Song called from the small blind and Rodrigo Garrido Portaleoni checked his option in the big blind.
Portaleoni called a 150,000 bet from Song on the 3♠Q♥Q♠ flop and a 400,000 bet from Song on the 6♠ turn.
Song fired 1,000,000 into the middle on the A♠ river and Portaleoni shoved for 2,075,000 total — sending Song deep into the tank.
After several minutes, Song put in a call and Portaleoni turned over Q♦6♦ for a turned full house. Song couldn't beat it and Portaleoni was sent the pot.
Kristen Foxen opened to 300,000 form middle position then called after Dimitri Joubert on the button shoved for 900,000.
Dimitri Joubert: J♦J♣ 
Kristen Foxen: A♥Q♠
Foxen was lucky enough to hit a full house on 9♦Q♥A♣Q♣8♥ to send Joubert to the rail.
There were already around 3,000,000 chips in the pot on a flop of 5♠A♠6♠ when Cameron Mixson bet 350,000, leaving himself just 150,000 chips behind. Mauro Juarez shoved, and Mixson was in the tank for quite a while as the next player eliminated would miss out on a pay jump. Eventually, the clock was called and Mixson made the call with a few seconds to spare.
Cameron Mixson: A♦8♦
Mauro Juarez: Q♥Q♦
Mixson was in prime position to double up and just needed to fade a queen to stay alive.
Things got interested on the 2♠ turn as it put four spades on board, and a fifth landed on the river as the 10♠ meant both players were playing the board.
Jason Sagle opened from early position and Andres Gonzalez three-bet to 950,000 from the next seat. When the action got back to Sagle, he called.
They saw a flop of 6♠9♣5♣ which Sagle checked, Gonzalez bet 600,000, and Sagle called.
When the J♣ hit the turn, Sagle checked again, then Gonzalez fired a bigger bet of 1,100,000. Sagle thought about it for a few moments but elected to fold.
Four players saw a flop of Q♠2♦A♠ where Kenneth Kim bet 375,000 in the hijack. Yegor Moroz then raised to 850,000 in the cutoff.
Malcolm Franchi and Brian Hawkins folded as action went back to Kim who called. The turn was the 2♥ and Moroz bet 2,075,000.
Kim then moved all in for 6,050,000 and Moroz tanked for a minute before calling. Kim showed K♠Q♦ for two pair, while Moroz had A♦Q♣ for aces and queens.
"He's dead," Moroz's passionate rail yelled out when the cards were revealed. The river was the 3♦ and they erupted in celebration as Moroz raised his arms into the air, then ran over and embraced his supporters as the massive pot was pushed his way.
"Your rail is very subtle," tablemate Charles Russell told him when Moroz sat back down.
Charles Russell opened from early position and Adrian Garcia called on the button.
Russell continued for 500,000 on the flop of 10♠8♥5♣ and Garcia called. Russell sized up to 1,200,000 on the K♦ turn and Garcia again called.
The 8♠ river completed the board and Russell counted out a bet of 5,500,000 to put Garcia all in for around the same amount. Garcia quickly called.
Russell showed A♦10♦ for tens and eights, which was good to beat the 7♥7♠ of Garcia as he hit the rail.
Nazar Buhaiov moved all in for 950,000 in middle position as his supporters on the rail began howling. Stephen Song called in the hijack, while the rest of the table got out of the way.
Nazar Buhaiov: 2♣2♠
Stephen Song: A♥K♥
"Deuces never lose," Buhaiov's rail shouted when the cards were revealed. The 10♠8♥4♣ flop kept him in the lead, while the turn was the J♠. The river, though, was the Q♦ and Song made a straight to win the pot and send Buhaiov to the exit.
"Sorry, guys," Song said to Buhaiov's rail.
Arthur Morris raised to 300,000 and was called by Eliott Kessas in the next seat, Russell Rosenblum defended the big blind. On a flop of Q♣8♠3♥, the action checked to Kessas and his bet of 350,000 won the pot.
Soon after, table short stack Gary Dishongh raised to 350,000 in the hijack. Rosenblum jammed the button and Dishongh called it off.
Gary Dishongh: 9♥9♣
Russell Rosenblum: A♠K♠
The Q♠10♠3♠ flop was devastating for Dishongh, as he now needed running cards to survive with a full house. Some hope came with the 10♥ turn but the miracle never happened as the 5♥ river reduced the field further after the dinner break.
Heads-up on a board of J♥10♠J♠7♠ with several hundred thousand already in the middle, Sami Bechahed checked from the big blind to Luis Vazquez, who bet 250,000. Bechahed check-raised to 625,000 and Vazquez called.
The Q♦ completed the board and Bechahed fired 2,600,000 into the middle. Vazquez didn't take long to shove for 4,825,000 total and Bechahed called.
Vazquez turned over 9♠8♠ for a straight flush, and a flabbergasted Bechahed showed he held J♦7♦ for jacks-full of sevens.
"Let me get a picture of this," Bechahed requested before the dealer scooped up all the cards.
