Nadav Hen Roman made an all-in bet from the button for 1,650,000 chips. After some study, Connor Steinbrook made the call from the big blind.
Nadav Hen Roman: Q♥J♦
Connor Steinbrook: 6♠7♦
Steinbrook’s hopes that his live undercards could pull off the upset were dashed quickly with the flop of Q♣2♦J♣. The J♥ turn had him drawing dead on the river, which was the 8♠.
Action was picked up with two players, their chips in the middle of the felt and their hands tabled.
Amirouddine Alibay: K♥3♥ 
Eduardo Saavedra: Q♣10♦
The flop A♣5♦7♥ maintained Alibay's lead with king-high but the turn Q♦ proved to be detrimental to him as it gave Saavedra a pair. The river A♦ didn't improve Alibay's hand ending his tournament run and giving Saavedra the pot and his bounty.
Veerachai Vongxaiburana called in early position, Norayr Menedyan decided to go all-in preflop with pocket nines.
Norayr Menedyan: 9♥9♣
Veerachai Vongxaiburana; 9♦8♠
The board showed:
10♠5♥3♠10♥2♣
Menedyan doubled up with two pairs preflop.
The action folded to David Poehlman in late position who moved all in for 3,175,000. The decision was on Noam Muallem who went into the tank. After about a minute Muallem made the call.
David Poehlman: A♥A♠
Noam Muallem: K♦9♣
The board came 4♣2♦J♥ which was no help for Muallem.
The turn gave Muallem some help with a 10♦ giving him some straight outs.
“QUEEN! QUEEN!” Muallem asked the dealer to help score the knockout, but it wasn’t the right broadway card for Muallem as the J♠ hit on the river. Giving Poehlman a double up heading into the dinner break.
Eric Worre was all in and at risk from under the gun, and was called by Michael Keisling on the button. Everyone else folded and the hands were tabled.
Eric Worre: K♦9♦
Michael Keisling: A♣K♠
The dealer ran out a board of 9♣A♦2♥5♦8♠, sending Worre to the payout desk.
George Tatalovich raised from early position to 400,000 and Prasad Vemulapalli pushed all in from middle position. Tatalovich made the call instantly.
Prasad Vemulapalli: A♣10♥
George Tatalovich: K♥J♥
The flop came 10♠8♠3♥ and it was looking good for Vemulapalli, until the J♣ hit on the turn to give Tatalovich a higher pair.
No ace or ten on the 8♦ river to rescue Vemulapalli and he was sent to the rail.
Artem Riabov opened for 500,000 in late position just to be called by Eric Revak in the big blind.
Both players saw the flop J♣4♥9♠. With action checked to him, Riabov continued with a 400,000 bet. Revak decided to go beyond and make it 1,200,000. Riabov called.
The players checked down the turn Q♥ and river 9♣. First to show, Revak tabled 3♥3♣ then Riabov showed J♦10♣ for the higher two-pair.
Eric O'Brien opened from middle position to 700,000 and Bader Haq shoved for just under 6,000,000 from the cutoff. When it got back to O'Brien, he was thinking out loud.
"Judging by what I just saw, this might be a call," he said. "Would you shove tens or below?". Eventually, O'Brien did make the call for around 5,500,000.
Eric O'Brien: A♦J♥
Bader Haq: Q♣Q♠
Haq had the best of it with his pocket queens and never looked in trouble as the 5♣6♦2♥7♣9♥ runout earned him a healthy-sized pot.
John Gillis bet 1,800,000 chips on a flop of K♠10♣2♠. Liang Ruei Jiun made the call.
After the 9♠ hit the turn, Ruei Jiun checked, Gillis bet all-in with more than 7,000,000 chips. Ruei Jiun quickly called, putting his remaining 2,965,000 chips at risk.
Liang Ruei Jiun: Q♥J♣
John Gillis: Q♠Q♦
Ruei Jiun’s king-high straight held when the 8♥ landed on the river.
