Edward Pak was all in from the small blind against under-the-gun player Arthur Morris, who had him covered.
Edward Pak: A♦4♦ 
Arthur Morris: J♥10♥
The flop of Q♥4♠9♥ gave Morris an open-ended straight flush draw, and the 8♦ turn gave him the straight to leave Pak drawing dead before Morris improved to a straight flush on the 8♥ river for added emphasis. Pak finished in 47th place and earned $200,000 for his deep run.
Russell Rosenblum opened to 2,700,000 from the cutoff, leaving himself just 175,000 behind. Jason Sagle then three-bet to 6,800,000 on the button, which forced the blinds out of the hand. Rosenblum called off for his remaining chips to put himself at risk.
Russell Rosenblum: A♣7♦
Jason Sagle: K♠K♦
Rosenblum had run right into kings and found no help on the 3♦5♥Q♦10♣J♠ runout to bring his deep run to an end in 46th place, thus ending his hopes of reaching the second main event final table of his career after a sixth place finish in the 2002 edition.
Hiroki Nawa raised to 600,000 in the hijack before Diogo Coelho three-bet to 1,350,000 in the cutoff. The action folded back to Nawa, who spent a few minutes in the tank.
Eventually, the clock was called on him. During his countdown, he jammed all in for roughly 6,000,000 chips and was snap-called by Coelho.
Hiroki Nawa: J♠J♦
Diogo Coelho: Q♠Q♣
Nawa's rail pleaded for a jack, but none came on the 5♠3♠2♣2♠A♦ runout, eliminating him from the Main Event in 45th place.
Luis Vazquez opened to 625,000 from the cutoff and then called after Julio Trimmer three-bet jammed for 3,875,000 out of the big blind.
Julio Trimmer: A♦5♣
Luis Vazquez: K♣Q♣
Trimmer was marginally ahead and saw a clean flop of 8♣2♥7♠ spread on the felt. The Q♦ turn, however, was a dagger that left the at risk player needing some help from Barry Greenstein on the river to survive. It did not come as the 9♣ completed the board instead to condemn Trimmer to a 44th place finish.
Arthur Morris opened to 600,000 in middle position and Diogo Coelho three-bet to 1,850,000 in the small blind. Nick Jivkov had just 200,000 behind and moved all in from the big blind, while Morris called.
The flop of 8♥9♠J♦ checked through and the same action took place on the K♣ turn and Q♣ river. Coelho showed A♠9♦ for a pair of nines, which was good to beat the 8♣2♥ of Jivkov and the 5♠5♦ of Morris as Jivkov hit the rail in 43rd place.
Jason James opened to 600,000 from middle position and was called by Luis Vazquez on the button. Jason Hoffman then three-bet to 2,200,000 out of the small blind only to see James four-bet to 14,225,000. Vazquez got out of the way but Hoffman called off for less to put himself at risk.
Jason Hoffman: K♠K♥
Jason James: 9♠9♥
Hoffman was in excellent position to score a full double, that is until the flop came 9♣Q♣A♥. The A♠ turn did give him some additional outs, though he was unable to connect on the J♠ river to send a huge pot to James while forcing Hoffman out in 42nd place courtesy of a bad beat.
Jordan Griff raised to 600,000 under the gun, Kyosuke Nagami moved all in for 4,900,000 in middle position, and Griff called.
Kyosuke Nagami: J♠J♦
Jordan Griff: A♥A♣
Nagami had run into Griff's aces and was at risk of elimination until the flop brought J♥10♥4♦, giving him top set. Griff was left looking for a two-outer but didn't find any miracles on the 5♣ turn or 7♥ river as Nagami doubled up.
Yegor Moroz raised to 600,000 in middle position, Jordan Griff three-bet to 1,500,000 in the hijack, and Moroz called.
The flop came 4♣3♣2♥ and Moroz checked to Griff who bet 750,000. Moroz called and the A♠ fell on the turn.
Griff then bet 1,000,000 and Moroz called again. The J♣ fell on the river and Moroz led out for 1,200,000.
Griff folded and Moroz's rail exploded in celebration. "Yegor, Yegor, Yegor. Is that what you want," they chanted as Moroz took the pot.
Eliott Kessas opened to 600,0000 from middle position and was called by Brian Rast on the button before Shundan Xiao three-bet to 2,500,000 from the small blind. Kessas called ahead of Rast getting out of the way.
On the J♣8♣4♥ flop, Xiao moved all in and Kessas called off his stack of 5,700,000.
Eliott Kessas: A♣A♠
Shundan Xiao: 10♦10♠
The K♦ turn kept Kessas the favorite, and the 6♣ river confirmed his double-up.
Daniel Erlandsson raised his button to 550,000 and was faced with a jam for 4,100,000 chips from small blind Robert Renaud.
Erlandsson instantly called once the action was back on him, and the cards were revealed to the cameras.
Robert Renaud: 5♥5♦
Daniel Erlandsson: A♣K♦
Erlandsson made two pair on the J♦K♣10♣9♥A♥ board to win the flip, eliminating Renaud in 41st with his pair of fives.
