Dylan Weisman: A♣5♠K♣4♠ All in
Bradley Anderson: A♦K♥10♥9♣

The board ran out 9♠A♠4♣10♦7♠ and Weisman's flush earned him the double up.

Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

With a board bearing 4♣6♠Q♥3♥ Casey Brown moved all in for 1,660,000 from under the gun and was called by Hooman Nikzad in early position.

Casey Brown: A♥K♥3♣3♠ All in
Hooman Nikzad: 5♦5♥7♠6♥

Brown had a set of threes, and the nut flush draw but the bad news was the gin card came on the turn giving Hikzad the nut straight and it held strong as the A♣ on the river couldn't save Brown from elimination, he made his way to the payout cage to collect his prize.

Level 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Down to his last 400,000 chips, Jeremy Bader shoved all in from under the gun. The lone caller was Carlos Leiva, on the button.

Jeremy Bader: A♣K♦J♣9♥ All in
Carlos Leiva: A♠J♠10♣6♦

Bader's two pair on the flop wasn't as good as Leiva's and that didn't change after the full runout of 2♦6♣A♦9♦10♠.

Action was picked up with three callers at 400,000 on the flop. The turn left the board reading 8♦A♥6♥Q♠.

Small blind Georgios Tsoupras checked to Dylan Weisman, who shoved all in for 895,000 chips.

Casey Brown appeared to have come close to making the call before tossing in his cards. Tsoupras didn't wait very long to get off his hand, and Weisman was left to stack his newly acquired chips.
