Robert Klein was first to act and bet 250,000 on the flop, which both Jacob Baumgartner and Yang Wang called.

When the turn hit, Klein bet around 1,200,000 and Baumgartner, with 390,000 remaining, took around three minutes before he put himself at risk. Wang folded.

Jacob Baumgartner: A♣Q♥9♦4♣ All in
Robert Klein: A♠10♦8♦3♣

Baumgartner managed to hang on and get the chop as his two pair held up on the bottom, as Klein took the top with Broadway.

After it was checked to him, Danny Wong fired 380,000 on the flops from the hijack. Matthew Tamura check-called under the gun before he put Wong all-in for his final 85,000 on the turns.

After checking in on the other table, the hands were revealed.

Danny Wong: J♦J♣9♠8♣ All in
Matthew Tamura: K♣Q♦J♠6♣

Wong was scooping with a set on the top board and a straight on the bottom board. The rivers upgraded him to a straight on the top board as well, and he was awarded the full pot.

6♠5♠A♦
K♣5♣4♠

Xixiang Luo kicked things off with a bet on the flop of 260,000 from the cutoff and Samuel Stranak called on the button. Yang Wang then check-raised to 1,500,000, which gave Giorgos Tsoupras a decision. After thinking it over, Tsoupras decided to fold and later mentioned that he folded 10x8x6x6x with clubs.

Luo folded, then Stranak went deep into the tank for around two minutes.

"Hmmmm,", said Stranak as he continued to mull it over. Eventually, he did fold. Wang flashed the 4♣ as he pulled in the pot.

Jacob Baumgartner is back as the short stack after calling a bet and having to fold the turn.

All players checked on the flops. Xixiang Luo then fired 160,000 on the turns from middle position, which Samuel Stranak called in the hijack. It folded to Giorgos Tsoupras under the gun, who check-jammed for 1,120,000.

Luo folded, but Stranak immediately called, exclaiming, "Chop it up!"

Giorgos Tsoupras: 10♦10♣9♠3♦ All in
Samuel Stranak: J♥10♥6♣5♥

No chopping would be done, however, as Tsoupras' full house on the bottom board was not enough to take the pot, with Stranak having a higher one.

Stranak made two full houses on the river to finish the hand in style and officially send Tsoupras to the rail in 12th.
