Christopher Vitch checked the 10♦K♠2♦ flop from the small blind and called after Melvin McCraney bet from the big blind.
Vitch then led out with a bet on the A♠ turn, with McCraney calling to see the 8♥ river hit the felt.
After a brief moment, Vitch moved his last 65,000 into the middle and McCraney called.
Vitch showed down A♥4♣3♠2♠ for two pair and the nut low, scooping the pot to double up after McCraney could only show J♣9♣6♠3♦ for an inferior low.

Ilia Krupin raised in the small blind and Martin Matranca raised all in from the big blind which Krupin called.
Martin Matranca: A♥9♣4♥2♣ 
Ilia Krupin: A♠Q♣7♠2♦
The board ran out J♥J♦8♣8♠6♠ and the ace-queen high was good for Krupin to take down the pot while Matranca took his leave from the tournament.

With Eric Polirer sitting almost all in from the big blind, Martin Matranca raised in the hijack. Gregory Wood called in the cutoff and Christopher Vitch did the same on the button. After checking his cards, Polirer moved his last 115,000 into the middle and was at risk.
Matranca checked to Wood on the 10♥4♦10♣ flop, who fired a bet. That produced a quick fold from Matranca, leaving Polirer at risk heads-up.
Eric Polirer: J♣7♠3♣2♠
Gregory Wood: A♣K♥5♦3♠
The 9♠ turn brought Polirer a straight draw, which was completed on the 8♣ river. That was enough to earn the double, while Matranca and Vitch were left short.

Gregory Wood raised on the button and in the big blind, Melvin McCraney called.
The flop rolled out 8♥6♥2♣ and McCraney checked over to Wood who bet. McCraney raised in response and Wood wasted little time in calling.
On the following streets, McCraney bet both the turn 6♣ and river K♠ and Wood looked him up both times.
McCraney tabled A♦A♥Q♠3♣ for aces up with the nut low and Wood shook his head, pitching his cards into the muck. McCraney raked in the pot to be the first player in the tournament to eclipse the 5 million chip mark.

Ilia Krupin called in the small blind and Martin Matranca checked his big blind option.
Krupin led out with a bet on the 2♦7♦4♣ flop, with Matranca making the call. Krupin then checked the 5♠ turn and Matranca bet almost all of his remaining stack. Krupin responded with a quick raise and Matranca slid out his last few chips.
Martin Matranca: 4♥3♣2♠2♥
Ilia Krupin: 9♠6♣3♠3♥
Matranca's set of deuces improved to a full house on the 7♣ river, but Krupin claimed the low to chop the pot.

Ilia Krupin raised in the small blind and Martin Matranca called in the big blind.
The flop rolled out 9♦8♣6♠ which saw Krupin bet and Matranca call.
Krupin bet once more on the 7♥ turn to which Matranca responded by raising. Krupin raised him all in and Matranca called, tabling his hand.
Martin Matranca: A♠9♥7♠3♠
Ilia Krupin: A♦A♥8♥3♣
Matranca was quartering Krupin with the same low and nines up, but the river 6♥ flipped the script as Krupin made aces up to leave Matranca short.

Patrick Stacey raised in the hijack and Joe Ford made the call in the cutoff. Kevin Pier also came along on the button before Austin Marks defended his big blind.
Action checked to Pier on the 9♣J♠10♣ flop, who slid a bet into the middle. Marks then raised, committing almost all of his remaining stack. Stacey folded, with Ford and Pier making the call.
Marks slid out the rest of his chips on the 10♦ turn, with Ford making the call. Pier then announced a raise, and Ford got out of the way.
Austin Marks: K♠K♥Q♦3♥
Kevin Pier: A♠10♠9♥3♣
Pier turned over a full house, leaving his opponent drawing thin. Marks called for a king, but the 5♥ hit the river to end his run in 13th spot.

Three-way action to the 3♥10♠6♠ flop saw David Shmuel and Patrick Stacey check. Joe Ford fired a bet, finding two calls before the 10♣ turn hit the felt.
Another check from Shmuel was followed by a bet from Stacey, with Ford making the call. Shmuel tossed in calling chips and the dealer revealed the 3♠ river.
Shmuel and Stacey checked, with Ford firing out a bet. Shmuel let his hand go, as did Stacey. Ford flipped over A♠6♣4♠3♣ for a full house as he raked in the pot.
