There was an open before Erion Qoku three-bet from the button. Leonardo Rizzo then four-bet shoved from the small blind for 76,600 and once the action got back to Qoku, he called with a covering stack.
Leonardo Rizzo: 8♠8♣ 
Erion Qoku: A♥Q♣
Rizzo was ahead with his Snowmen and the dealer wasn't about to let his bracelet dreams melt away as the 6♠3♦7♠J♠9♣ runout earned him a double-up.
There were approximately 32,000 chips in the middle on a board showing 10♣A♥9♣. Thomas Cazayous checked from middle position, and Asher Neaman, on the button, decided to overbet the pot to 55,000 when the K♥ hit the turn. Cazayous took his time before calling.
Action went check-check when the 7♣ fell on the river and Cazayous quickly tabled A♣2♣ and he took this massive pot. Cazayous nearly playing 300 big blinds.
Tian Liu bet 2,800 on a flop of 8♦2♣4♥ and Edward Pak raised to 12,500. Liu only had around 9,000 total and after a few seconds, put the rest of his chips in.
Tian Liu: J♥9♥
Edward Pak: A♦8♣
Liu was short and needed to connect with one of his two overcards to stay alive. The Q♠ on the turn did add a gutshot, but the K♣ river was a brick, leaving Liu out the door and allowing Pak to add some extra chips to his stack.
There were roughly 35,000 chips in the pot on a board of 10♣6♦2♠8♥. John Riordan from middle position announced "all in" for 27,500 and got snap called by Michael Pempin on the button.
John Riordan: J♣J♦
Michael Pempin: Q♥10♥
No luck for Pempin as the 4♣ hit the river and Riordan is playing a stack over 60,000.
Ricardo Eyzaguirre's stack had dwindled to around ten big blinds but he had a great opportunity to double up when he was put at risk by Armando Figueroa.
Ricardo Eyzaguirre: K♦K♣
Armando Figueroa: A♦J♥
Eyzaguirre held pocket kings and was good through the 3♣7♦6♣ flop and the 3♦ turn. However, Figueroa screamed for an ace and got his reward as the A♣ hit the river, meaning Eyzaguirre was eliminated.
Chongxian Yang open-shoved for 9,600, and action folded to Sohale Khalili who decided to give some action.
Sohale Khalili: K♦5♠
Chongxian Yang: A♣10♦
The flop ran out A♥J♥6♣ and Yang felt safe with top pair.
A 10♠ gave Yang two pair, but also gave Khalili an opportunity to send him home.
The sentence to the rail was secured with the Q♠ river. Khalili backdoored into the nuts.
With roughly 27,000 chips in the pot on a flop of 10♥7♠5♦, Sandeep Pulusani checked from early position. Duy Duong, in middle position, also checked. Chao Duan, on the button, bet 5,400, and only Pulusani called.
The turn brought the 8♠ and the river the 4♣, with both players checking down to showdown. Duan looked surprised when Pulusani tabled Q♠Q♣, but his own K♦K♣ was good enough to take the pot.
Nicholas Teeuwen opened from under the gun and Patrick Leonard three-bet to 7,500 from middle position. Marko Grujic was in the hijack and cold four-bet to 15,000, which got Teeuwen to fold. Leonard called.
The flop came 5♥Q♠A♠ and Leonard check-called a bet of 4,000 from Grujic to the 8♥ turn, where both checked.
A J♥ fell on the river and Leonard stacked his chips into a single pile and slid them forward for a shove of around 40,000. Grujic released a huge puff of air as he was facing the bet and after around 30 seconds, he let his cards go.
Joao Vieira found himself all in at risk twice in the space of a few hands.
First Vieira moved all in for 3,900 and only Ricardo Eyzaguirre in the big blind called.
Joao Vieira: Q♥8♥
Ricardo Eyzaguirre: Q♣5♥
The board ran out 3♠A♣7♦6♠8♦ to give Vieira his first double.
Just a few hands later Vieira moved all in from early position for 9,300 before Michael Troutt isolated on the button to 15,000.
Joao Vieira: A♠2♠
Michael Troutt: A♦7♦
Vieira would need some help this time, seeing his holding dominated by his opponent.
The 10♠10♥6♠9♥ board gave Vieira plenty of opportunities to win or at least split the pot, and the 2♣ river was exactly what Vieira was hoping for.
