Gabriel Moura in the cutoff opened to 400,000, Aloisio Dourado on the button three-bet to 1,300,000, then Moura four-bet to 3,000,000.
Dourado went deep into the tank, but chose to fold 8♦8♣. Moura had A♥K♣.
Following a cutoff raise by Arthur Morris and a big blind defend by Xuejun Huang, the board showed J♦10♠5♣Q♥ and Huang had checked. Morris pushed all-in and Huang was sent into the tank.
"You cover me?" he asked and Morris shook his head, then counted his remaining 2,600,000. Huang pondered about it for another half a minute and called.
Arthur Morris: K♣Q♦ 
Xuejun Huang: Q♠9♠
Both had top pair and a straight draw, but Morris was ahead. The river was the 10♣ and Morris doubled once more, then jumped to his nearby rail to celebrate.
Robert Renaud opened to 400,000 from the hijack and was called by Malo Latinois on the button and Justin Vaysman in the big blind.
Action checked through on the Q♥10♦9♣ flop and it was checked to Latinois on the 6♦ turn. Latinois bet 850,000 and both Vaysman and Renaud called.
The K♠ river shut down the action as everyone checked.
Vaysman turned over 10♥6♥ for two pair and both Renaud and Latinois mucked to send the pot Vaysman's way.
"I had aces," Renaud commented as Vaysman collected the pot.
Action folded to Charles Russell who limped in from the small blind. Jason James then raised to 600,000 in the big blind and Russell called.
James bet 450,000 on the 3♠10♦6♠ flop and Russell called. Both players then checked the 10♥ turn.
Russell also checked the 5♣ river and James bet 1,500,000. Russell called and James turned over J♠10♠ for trips to win the pot.
Shundan Xiao opened to 400,000 in middle position and Jonathan Tamayo called in the next seat as Marc Wolpert defended his big blind.
Wolpert and Xiao checked on the flop of 8♦10♦A♦ and Tamayo bet 400,000. Wolpert check-raised to 1,200,000 and Xiao went deep into the tank before cold-calling, while Tamayo folded.
Wolpert then bet 1,700,000 on the 5♥ turn and Xiao put him to the test by raising to around 9,000,000. Wolpert had only 2,500,000 behind and opted to hold onto it by folding.
Marc Wolpert raised for all but the last 50,000 in the small blind and Adrian Lopez came along in the big blind to see the 9♦8♠6♦ flop, on which the last few chips trickled into the middle.
Marc Wolpert: K♦10♠
Adrian Lopez: A♦J♦
Lopez was ahead, yet he asked for diamonds to lock up the elimination. The Q♠ turn gave Wolpert more outs with a double gutshot but the A♠ river only improved Lopez to a pair of aces, reducing the field to the last 64 players with another pay jump in sight.
Aliaksandr Shylko raised to 400,000 from under the gun and Robert Renaud three-bet to 900,000 from the next seat. When it got back to Shylko, he put in the call.
The dealer put out a flop of 5♥10♥2♣ which saw Shylko check-call a bet of 700,000 from Renaud.
Both checked the A♥ turn and the 2♠ river.
Shylko flipped J♥J♦ but Renaud had the winner holding Q♠Q♦.
"Boom!" shouted Shylko as he moved his arms and body in a way that shows him dodging things.
"I should go broke preflop. I should go broke on the flop," remarked a very smiley Shylko, who seemed positive despite losing that pot.
Pedro Safar in the small blind found himself at risk for 3,550,000 against Brian Rast in early position.
Pedro Safar: A♠K♠
Brian Rast: A♦A♥
After the flop of 7♠9♥Q♥, Safar was drawing dead on the 7♣ turn and he was eliminated after the 6♥ river.
Picking up the action on a board of Q♠4♠10♥2♥8♠ with already 5,100,000 in the pot, Kristen Foxen in the big blind checked, then went into the tank after Niklas Astedt in middle position bet 3,500,000.
After a few minutes, she eventually decided to call with Q♦7♦ for top pair. But "Lena900" flipped over A♠7♠ for the nut flush and won the pot to reach 17,700,000.
Xuejun Huang shoved for his last 2,600,000 on the button and was called by Brian Kim in the big blind to put Huang at risk.
Xuejun Huang: J♥J♣
Brian Kim: 3♣3♦
Huang was in great shape to double up and stayed that way on 5♦7♦Q♠ flop and 5♠ turn. However, the dealer brought the 3♥ on the river to improve Kim to a full house, which got a yelp from Huang as his Main Event ended in heartbreaking fashion.
