Punnat Punsri, in the hunt for his first bracelet, kept the pressure on as he raised to 240,000 under the gun. Michael Lavin then woke up with a hand on the button, and chose a three-bet sizing of 725,000. Jason Wheeler, fresh off of a double up, then ripped his 2,610,000 into the middle, looking to end the hand with four times what he had just moments ago, however he would have to win a flip against Lavin who made the call.
Jason Wheeler: A♠K♠
Michael Lavin J♠J♥
Wheeler hit a monumental 7♠10♣3♠ flop, meaning he was now the favourite to take down the pot. That being said, the 7♣7♥ runout gave Lavin a full house, sending Wheeler home with an over $50,000 score.

Linyang Song raised from under the gun with 10♦10♣ to 260,000. Jason Wheeler flatted in the cutoff with A♥9♥, and Punnat Punsri three-bet to 2,000,000 in the small blind with K♣Q♣.
Action folded back around to Song who thought for a moment before eventually giving up his hand. Wheeler tossed his cards into the muck as well.

With his newfound chip lead, Michael Lavin opened to 250,000 from the cutoff. It didn't take long, however, for that amount to rise, as Jason Wheeler went all in for his remaining 1,405,000, good for just over 11 big blinds. Lavin, who was on a self proclaimed "sun run", made the call, and was hoping for it to continue as he saw he was behind.
Jason Wheeler: Q♠Q♦
Michael Lavin: Q♥10♥
Michael Rossitto started calling for the jack of hearts, as he wanted both a sweat and a pay jump, but Wheeler was clearly opposed to the idea. Thankfully, the 3♠6♦2♠ flop had Lavin drawing to runner runner, and the 6♣J♥ runout secured Wheeler's double.

On the J♠ river, Westmorland thought for a moment before moving all in for 2,200,000 to put himself at risk. Lavin snap called and Westmorland saw the bad news that his aces had been cracked.

Two time WSOP bracelet winner Drew Oconnell opened to 240,000 from middle position, and was met with resistance from cutoff Michael Rossitto, who put in a three-bet to 520,000. When action was back onto Oconnell, he was beaten into the pot by Rossitto as he put all of his chips at risk.
Drew Oconnell: A♦J♦
Michael Rossitto: A♥A♣
Oconnell found himself completely up against it preflop, and even more so on the 7♣8♠2♥ flop, as he was in need of running jacks or a running straight. The case A♠ was dealt on the turn, meaning the 8♣ on the river made no difference to the outcome of the hand, as Oconnell became second to leave the final table.
