Joseph Hernon opened the action with a raise to 250,000. Action folded to Lies Kara, who shipped his last 450,000. Matthew Seitz in the next seat over called, and Hernon opted to fold to make it a heads-up showdown.
Lies Kara: A♠2♠
Matthew Seitz: K♠K♣
Kara ran into trouble against Seitz, and the Q♥2♠7♦9♦6♥ runout did not change that, which resulted in Kara being eliminated from the tournament.

Action was on Jesus Castillo, who moved all in for 475,000. Mike Gao then moved all in himself, for roughly 1,500,000. All other players got out of the way, and the players turned their cards over.
Jesus Castillo: A♥9♣
Mike Gao: 7♦7♥
The flop 2♣J♥5♣ didn't offer Castillo much, but the turn 8♣ gave him a flush draw.
The river was uncooperative, though, coming the J♠, and as Gao pulled in the pot, Castillo headed to the exit.

Mitchell Tsang moved all in from early position for his remaining 500,000 and action folded around to Jennifer Breckenridge in the small blind. Breckenridge asked for a count before moving in her stack to re-jam for around 750,000. The big blind instantly folded and the players went to showdown.
Mitchell Tsang: A♦9♣
Jennifer Breckenridge: A♠Q♣
Breckenridge paired up on the Q♥J♥5♠ flop, putting her further ahead.
The K♣ turn and 4♥ river didn't save Tsang and he was eliminated just a few hands after the dinner break.

Muffadal Daginawala moved all in from the cutoff for his remaining 400,000 chips. Action folded around to Zachary Hall in the small blind, who was the only caller.
Muffadal Daginawala: 7♣7♦
Zachary Hall: 10♥9♥
The 3♠3♦A♣ flop didn't bring in much of a sweat, and neither did the Q♦ turn.
Daginawala sat back at the table after the 6♠ river was placed, having safely secured a double up.

Action picked up on the river in a hand between Charles Kersey who was under the gun and Anshul Kulshrestha in the big blind.
With about 700,000 in the middle and the board reading 10♥6♦J♦5♠6♥, Kulshrestha moved all in for 655,000 to put himself at risk.
Kersey thought for a moment before making the call with A♠Q♥ only to see the bad news when Kulshrestha turned over A♣A♦.

The hand began with a raise by Benedict Cullen to 400,000 from early position. Cullen was called by Jonathan Sparks from the cutoff, and Alexander Savchenko called from the big blind.
The flop fanned out Q♥A♦7♥, which led to a round of checks from all three players.
Savchenko fired 255,000 on the 5♠ turn, which led to a fold from Cullen. Sparks called to take them to a river.
The 3♥ river saw a bet of 410,000 from Savchenko. Sparks took some time to weigh his decision before he called. Savchenko threw his hand into the muck as he conceded the hand. Sparks dragged in the chips and did not show his hand.
