Edgar Diaz moved all in for his last 400,000 from middle position, and action folded to Nevan Chang in the big blind who squeezed his cards and made the call.
Edgar Diaz: 7♥7♦
Nevan Chang:A♠8♠
The flop came 9♦8♦4♥ and sent Chang into the lead. No help for Diaz on the 4♣ turn or Q♦ river, and he was sent packing.

Eugene Moss went all in under the gun against big blind Mitchell Hynam.
Eugene Moss: A♣4♣
Mitchell Hynam: A♦A♠
Moss needed far more help than the runout of 9♠2♥Q♠7♦10♣ would give, and he was knocked out in 30th place.
Matthew Wilkins was all in and at risk for his last 75,000 from middle position. Nevan Chang went all in from the button for roughly 1,900,000. The rest of the table folded, and the players tabled their hands.

Nevan Chang: K♦Q♦
The board ran out J♠2♦K♣8♥7♦, sending Wilkins to the payout desk.

Adam Saven: A♥K♣
Alexander Duvall: A♣4♥
Saven was ahead, but the flop was a disaster for Saven as it came A♠4♦Q♣.
The 6♣ turn and the 7♠ river were the final two cards Saven saw in the tournament.
Sean Troha open-shoved under the gun for 750,000 flat, and Nadav Bitton called from the hijack. Noah Curhan called all in from the button, and the three went off to the races.
Noah Curhan: A♦10♦
Sean Troha: 9♥9♦
Nadav Bitton: A♠J♥
"Jack!" announced Bitton, being rewarded instantly as he all but willed the 2♥J♣3♣ flop into existence. The 4♦3♥ runout changed nothing, as he accumulated both of the other player's chips.
