Giovanni Zanette opened to 600,000 in middle position and Charles Russell three-bet jammed a stack of around 7,000,000 from the big blind. Zannette called with a bigger stack.
Charles Russell: A♦9♠ 
Giovanni Zanette: J♦J♥
Russell needed an ace to stay alive and hit it on the flop of 9♦A♥8♣ that gave him two pair. The board finished out 2♠7♠ and Russell doubled before heading to break.
Daniel Kyosev moved all in for 1,900,000 in middle position and Orson Young called in the small blind.
Daniel Kyosev: A♣9♠
Orson Young: K♦K♣
Kyosev was looking for an ace to stay alive, but none arrived on the 10♣8♣2♥ flop. The 3♦ turn kept Young's kings in the lead, while the river was the Q♦ and Kyosev was sent to the rail in 50th place.
Brian Kim raised to 525,000 in middle position and Aliaksandr Shylko called on the button, as did big blind Orson Young.
The flop came Q♠J♥3♥ and action checked to Shylko who bet 600,000. Only Kim called.
The turn was the 10♠ and Shylko bet another 1,400,000. Kim then raised to 4,425,000, Shylko moved all in, and Kim called for 200,000 more.
Shylko showed Q♦J♦ for top two pair, but Kim had turned the nut straight holding A♦K♥. The 4♠ river didn't improve Shylko and Kim doubled up.
Nick Jivkov moved all in for 675,000 in the small blind and was quickly called by Yegor Moroz in the big blind.
Nick Jivkov: 7♠7♣
Yegor Moroz: 9♣5♥
Jivkov improved to a full house on the J♥Q♣6♣7♦6♦ runout to earn his second double of the level, though he remains a severe short stack.
Robert Renaud shoved all in for 2,300,000 from the hijack and was called by Jessie Bryant in the small blind.
Robert Renaud: 7♠7♥
Jessie Bryant: J♥J♣
Renaud was ready to pack his bags after the 4♦2♠6♠ flop, but the 7♦ brought him a set to take a massive lead. The 5♥ river was a safe one, doubling up Renaud.
Kristen Foxen opened to 500,000 from middle position and Brian Rast called from the big blind.
Rast check-called bets of 300,000 and 900,000 on the flop and turn for the final board to read A♠A♣6♣Q♠9♣. Rast checked for a third time and Foxen checked back.
Rast tabled 7♥7♦, besting Foxen's K♥10♣ to take the pot.
There was already 5,900,000 in the middle when big blind Jason James bet 3,000,000 on a 8♣2♦4♠ flop. Luis Vazquez sat in middle position and called to see the Q♦ on the turn.
This was enough for James to go all in for 12,025,000 which was more than Vazquez had behind. He sat on a stack of 10,675,000 and needed to make a decision for his tournament life.
Vazquez went deep into the tank and thought about it for multiple minutes. At some point he got up from his chair to drink water and when he sat down again he let go of his hand.
Niklas Astedt opened to 500,000 from under the gun, and Eliott Kessas called from two seats over. Tomas Szwarcberg three-bet to 1,850,000 from the cutoff and took down the pot after the rest of the table returned their cards to the dealer.
The following hand, Szwarcberg opened to 500,000, and Shundan Xiao called from the cutoff. Astedt defended his big blind. Szwarcberg continued for 825,000 on the 2♣2♦3♠ flop and was only called by Xiao. Szwarcberg sized up to 2,075,000 on 6♥ turn and folded out Xiao.
Charles Russell opened to 600,000 on the button and Diogo Coelho defended in the big blind.
Coelho checked on the flop of 6♣9♥Q♥ and Russell checked back. Coelho then bet 1,000,000 on the Q♣ turn and Russell called.
Coelho checked on the K♥ river and Russell announced a bet of 3,000,0000 before putting out three 100,000-chips, which created some confusion. After confirming the bet, Coelho folded.
Following a min-raise to 500,000 by Gabriel Moura, Jesse Capps pushed forward his small stack from the small blind and the dealer announced "a wager for all they got". Jason Sagle then reraised to 5,000,000 in the big blind and Moura folded.
Sagle already exposed his cards but Capps had kept one T-25,000 chip hidden between his ducks at the table while he had committed 2,475,000 already. Capps then proceeded to hold a "duck seance" and said he'd need help on the turn. While this was happening, the clock was called on him and Capps called a few seconds later.
Jesse Capps: 10♥10♠
Jason Sagle: K♥K♠
The help never came on a board of A♠7♦5♥6♣2♣ and Capps bowed out in 50th place for $200,000.
