According to the players, Zong Chi He had just moved to the table. At the start of the hand, he thought he was under the gun and wanted to fold his hand. He was then told he was actually the big blind and had to post it. Gal Naim opened under the gun and it folded around to He, who defended.
The flop came 7♥8♠7♣. After a check from He, Naim threw in a continuation bet of 200,000. He called.
The turn 6♦ got checked by both players.
On the river, which was the A♥, He checked again. Naim then bet 480,000 chips, to which He responded with an all in for 3,750,000 total. Naim needed some time to think. It was a massive pot and while he had He covered, he would have been crippled if he called and was wrong.
After some time, Naim put in the call. Very quickly, He said: “You win,” and turned over 8♣5♥ for the pair and turned open-ender. Naim jumped out of his seat and excitedly celebrated his call, which sent a pot of around 8,000,000 chips his way. His holding was A♦K♥ for the rivered aces up.
The dealer verified the chip counts to confirm He indeed was the shorter stack, and he headed to the rail.

Yun Choi opened from the button and Demosthenes Kiriopoulos went all in from the small blind for around 2,400,000 chips. Choi thought for a moment and called.
Demosthenes Kiriopoulos: A♥Q♦
Yun Choi: A♦4♦
Kiriopoulos was way ahead, but the flop 4♣J♠10♥ turned thing around completely. Kiriopoulos needed a queen or a king.
The turn was the 8♣ and the river 6♥, changing nothing and Kiriopoulos’s tournament was over.

Christian Calcano went all in from the cutoff for around 1,800,000 chips and was called by Jordan Scott on the button. Both blinds folded.
Christian Calcano: Q♥J♥
Jordan Scott: A♠9♠
The flop came 7♠10♥A♥, giving both players plenty of ways to win. The turn A♦ improved Scott to trips, but Calcano still had some flush outs as well as kings for a straight. Unfortunately for him, the river was the 2♣ and he was out.

It was a slightly unusual flip between John Marino in the big blind and Armand Matti in the cutoff.
Action was caught on the flop of 2♥3♣4♣ and both players had already flipped over their cards, even though Matti had around 200,000 chips behind. Marino had A♦Q♦ and Matti had 9♥9♦.
Marino bet 200,000 on the flop to put Matti all in. Matti said he is not folding, and after a few moments put his chips in the middle and they were officially all in.
It wasn’t clear why Matti had turned over his hand, but Marino said he did it because he saw his opponent flip over his cards and thought they were all in.
The dealer dealt out the K♣ on the turn and Matti still looked good for the double-up. It was not over before the river, however, and the Q♠ that came was one of Marino’s outs to eliminate Matti.
