Derek Normand had gone from being one of the leaders with some 600,000 chips to being the shortest stack still in at only 30,000 when the big blind was 40,000.
He fought back, though, rebuilding to 220,000. He put it all at risk on the button.
Kei Tanaka made the call.
Derek Normand: A♦5♣
Kei Tanaka: A♠4♣
The fairly even hands, which often result in a chopped pot, didn't this time thanks to a runout of 6♦6♣4♦10♣4♥. Tanaka's full house ended Normand's day.

Jamie Kerstetter moved all-in from the cutoff for her last 350,000 and Vladislav Donchev on the button came over the top to isolate. The blinds got out of the way quickly.
Jamie Kerstetter: A♣Q♥
Vladislav Donchev: 5♦5♠
No help at all for Kerstetter on the 10♥4♣2♥ flop and nothing changed with the 10♣ turn nor the K♠ river and she was sent to the rail.

Pei Li raised to 100,000 from the button before Konstantin Held chose to jam from the small blind for 1,180,000. Li called to create a big pot with Held at risk.
Konstantin Held: K♦Q♦
Pei Li: K♣J♠
Held enjoyed a sizeable lead over Li with the better king, and the flop only increased Held's chances as it came 9♣4♦9♦ to give Held a flush draw.
The 3♦ on the turn improved Held to a flush to end the hand as the compulsory 8♥ hit the river to complete the board.

Alec Weller shoved for 150,000 from middle position. James Agate in the small blind called and made the big blind fold.
Alec Weller: A♠3♠
James Agate: A♣9♠
Both players hit two pair on A♥7♦5♠8♣7♣, but Agate had a better kicker so Weller was eliminated.

Min Ji raised to 325,000 from the button. Aliaksandr Shylko called from the big blind to put Ji at risk.
Min Ji: J♦9♦
Aliaksandr Shylko: A♥7♥
Shylko hit the flop to extend his lead when it came 3♣Q♣A♣. The 4♦ ended any chance of a comeback from Ji as the meaningless 2♠ hit the river.

Brett Shaffer went all in under the gun for 660,000 chips. Zhaken Seitbekov called with less from the big blind.
Zhaken Seitbekov: A♦10♥
Brett Shaffer: J♦J♥
The runout of 5♣5♦9♠7♦4♣ did not prevent Shaffer's jacks from claiming the hand.

Action folded to Nan Chen in the small blind, who went all in for 800,000 effective and was called by Nadav Bitton in the big blind, who was at risk.
Nadav Bitton: 6♦6♥
Nan Chen: 7♦8♦
The dealer ran out a board of Q♥J♠10♣2♥10♠, adding a nice boost to Bitton's stack.

Min Ji got it all in under the gun, with Jacob Parent looking him up from the cutoff, in what resulted as a brutal flop for one, but huge for the other.
Min Ji: A♣J♥
Jacob Parent: 10♥10♠
The K♥10♦Q♠ flop at first looked to be huge for parent, but his set was still behind against the nuts of Ji, who held on the 6♣5♥ runout.

Marcelo Giordano Mendes raised to 80000 from middle position, only for Yu Wu to three-bet all in from late position for 275,000. Action folded back around to Mendes, who made the call.
Yu Wu: Q♣Q♥
Marcelo Giordano Mendes: K♣9♠
The 9♥3♠J♠ flop did spell some danger for Wu, and when the 9♦ peeled off on the turn, he was in trouble. No queen to rescue Wu on the J♦ river, and he was sent to the rail.
