Petrangelo folded and Vogelsang back-raised all-in for 290,000. After a bit of deliberation, Lee folded.
Gregory Jensen raised from the button before Jesse Lonis three-bet to 85,000. Jensen responded by moving all in for 511,000.
Lonis, the bigger stack, agonized over his decision, using three time banks. He looked over Jensen's way, with his opponent lookiing down at the table.
In the end, Lonis let his hand go.
Mathew Belcher raised under the gun to 10,000, and only Barak Wisbrod chose to call, defending his big blind.
Belcher continued betting on the A♥9♦J♦ board, after Wisbrod checked to him. He threw out a bet of 10,000, which Wisbrod called.
Wisbrod changed the flow of things on the J♥ turn, leading into his opponent for 15,000. Belcher wasn't ready to forfeit his position as the aggressor, though, and raised to 55,000. Wisbrod proceeded with a call.
That was where the betting came to an end, both players choosing to check the K♦ river.
Wisbrod turned over J♠10♣, turned trips, which was enough to entitle him to the pot. No cards were shown by Belcher, as he returned them face down to the dealer.
Chang Lee raised from the button and Orpen Kisacikoglu defended his big blind, and then check-called Lee's 9,000 continuation bet on the K♥9♣J♠ flop.
The turn brought in the Q♣, which put four to a straight on the board. Kisacikoglu checked. Lee sized up to 110,000, forcing Kisacikoglu to mull over his options. The bracelet winner settled on a call.
The Q♠ river then paired the board, prompting a third check from Kisacikoglu, who had around 420,000 behind. Lee continued with his aggression, counting out 375,000. He slid those chips into the middle.
Kisacikoglu used up a time bank, and called.
"Jack," said Lee who appeared a bit unwilling to table his hand. However he did eventually show his J♣8♥.
Kisacikoglu tabled K♠10♠ for a straight and moved above 1,000,000 chips.

Alexandros Theologis was just seen exiting the tournament area, with Matthew Belcher collecting his stack.
Belcher recalled the action to PokerNews.
Mathias Eibinger opened to 9,000 with Theologis calling on the button. Belcher squeezed to 50,000 from the small blind which pushed out Eibinger. Theologis then jammed for 315,000 and Belcher called.
Theologis had AxKx while Belcher had AxQx (suited).
Belcher paired up on the Qx10x4x flop to move in front. His lead was relinquished after a Kx turn, but the Qx river gave Belcher the checkmark for the pot and elimination.
While Theologis exited, Andy Wilson and Sean Winter registered for the event.
Alex Foxen raised in middle position to 9,000, only to see a Mathew Frankland three-bet a couple of seats to his left. Frankland made it 32,000, and Foxen continued with a call.
Both players checked the 7♣J♠A♣ flop, but when the turn 3♠ was revealed, Foxen decided to take over the betting lead, sliding out a bet of 32,000. Frankland called, and both players were happy to check down the 4♦ river.
Foxen turned over 10♠8♠ for a missed straight and flush draw, which allowed Frankland to take the pot with his Q♥Q♠.
