Roger Hendren shoved under the gun for 8,200,000 to put himself at risk and was called by Abraham Barbarian in the cutoff.
Roger Hendren: Q♣Q♥ 
Abraham Barbarian: A♠K♦
It was a classic coin flip situation and Hendren's pair of queens remained best as the board ran out 4♦J♦7♠7♥2♦, earning him the double up.
A short-stacked Anthony Desai moved all in for 6,600,000, and when action folded to Samuel Choae, he snap-called and turned his cards over straight away.
Anthony Desai: A♣7♣
Samuel Choae: K♥K♦
It was a dire situation for Desai, and he knew it. "Dealer, I need this", he said.
The flop 9♣J♦6♠ didn't help him directly, but did give him some backdoor opportunities.
The turn 7♠ and river 8♦ were no help, though, and he vacated his seat.
Level: 36
Blinds: 400,000/800,000
Ante: 800,000
The remaining 16 players are heading for their first break of the day.
Scheduled for 15 minutes, play will resume at 1.28 p.m. local time.
Luciano Melo moved all in in early position, and when action folded round to Kimon Fountoukidis, he committed all of his chips, calling for less than the all-in.
Kimon Fountoukidis: 7♦7♠
Luciano Melo: A♦8♥
An important flip for both players and the deck favoured Melo on this occasion.
The flop came down 3♥5♣8♣, giving Melo the lead.
The turn 8♠ meant Fountoukidis was left with just two outs and one opportunity to find one of them.
The river K♣ sealed his fate, though. Melo scooped a crucial pot, and Fountoukidis headed to the exit.
Action was heads-up on the 5♣A♣2♥ flop, with around 4,000,000 chips already in the middle. Ofer Saha checked the 6♥ turn from the big blind and Joey Couden fired 1,550,000 from early position.
Saha made the call and announced all in on the J♦ river. Coudon snapped it off, making the quick call.
Joey Couden: A♥A♦
Ofer Saha: 8♥3♥
Saha tabled his missed straight and flush draws, while Couden showed his set of aces to earn the full double.
Keith Romer open-shoved in the hijack for 3,775,000 and Brandon Sowers reshoved in the cutoff for 12,200,000 to isolate.
Keith Romer: A♥3♥
Brandon Sowers: Q♦Q♥
Romer picked up additional outs with a gutshot on the 2♠7♦4♦ flop but was unable to get there as the board ran out 6♦, 6♥.
Sebastian Medina raised to 1,200,000 in middle position, Ofer Saha flatted in the hijack, and Alexander Savchenko three-bet jammed in the big blind for 7,375,000 to put himself at risk. Medina got out of the way and Saha made the call.
Alexander Savchenko: A♦Q♥
Ofer Saha: 3♣3♥
Savchenko pulled ahead on the 8♥4♥Q♣ flop, pairing his queen. The A♣ turn and 7♥ river secured him the double up.
Robert Gingher shoved for 6,950,000 in the cutoff, and Yu Hsiang Huang went into the tank in the small blind. After taking some time, Gingher called the clock before Huang made the call.
Robert Gingher: A♠3♦
Yu Hsiang Huang: J♠J♣
Gingher was flipping for his tournament life, but could not connect on the 10♠4♥K♣K♦6♠ runout. Huang raked in the pot, as Gingher was sent to the rail in 18th position.
