Josh Reichard on the button raised to 33,800,000, putting Jacques Ortega effectively all-in from the big blind. With action to him, Ortega had to stand up and look at his rail before making the call.

Josh Reichard limped in from the small blind and Jeffrey Tanouye checked his option in the big blind.
On the 2♣5♦3♠ flop, Reichard bet 3,000,000 and Tanouye raised to 6,500,000. Reichard then shoved, and Tanouye called off the extra 7,300,000 he had behind.
Jeffrey Tanouye: 7♠3♦
Josh Reichard: 9♣5♥
Tanouye made second pair, but he was trailing to the top pair of Reichard. An 8♠ on the turn changed nothing, and Tanouye was eliminated in fifth when the K♥ hit the river.

Jeffrey Tanouye looked down and saw A♦K♠ in the hole. He started the action with a 4,500,000 bet. Josh Reichard in the big blind woke up to A♠A♥ and just flat called taking them to the flop.
Reichard checked the flop 5♣3♦Q♣ and Tanouye continued with 2,500,000. Reichard raised to 6,500,000 sending Tanouye to the tank.
After a few seconds, Tanouye made the call to see the next street. The turn 4♦ fell prompting Reichard to go all in. Tanouye gave a quick look at his hand and folded without hesitation.

James Carroll: A♠J♥
Josh Reichard: 3♥3♦

A J♠ on the river improved Tanouye to a better two pair, but he was still behind to the full house of Reichard. Tanouye tapped the table and Reichard shoved, putting Tanouye to the test. After some time in the tank, Tanouye elected to fold, preserving his stack of 21,000,000.

James Carroll holding K♥10♦ in cutoff opened to 4,500,000 and got a three-bet from Josh Reichard to 39,000,000 from the small blind. Covered by the bet, Jonah Labranche, in the big blind, went all-in for 37,800,000. Carroll got out of the way, leaving the two players to go on a showdown.
Jonah Labranche: K♦K♣
Josh Reichard: K♠9♠
The flop came 5♠2♠Q♠ giving Reichard a flush and evoking a shocked reaction from the railbirds. The runout 9♥10♥ didn't improve Labranche's hand, ending his tournament journey and sending him to the rails.

Jeffrey Tanouye made it 15,000,000 from the cutoff, leaving himself 900,000 behind. James Carroll called from the small blind.
The flop came 7♦7♠A♣, and the rest of the chips went into the middle.
Jeffrey Tanouye: A♦9♥
James Carroll: K♠J♠
Tanouye paired his ace on the flop and barring a brutal runout, he would be right back in the mix. The 3♦ on the turn did lock it up for Tanouye, and the A♠ river confirmed his double-up.

Jeffrey Tanouye shoved from the small blind and Jacques Ortega called from the big blind with a slightly shorter stack of around 17,400,000.
Jacques Ortega: A♠3♦
Jeffrey Tanouye: K♦5♠
Ortega had the best of it with his ace, and kept his lead through the 4♦6♦6♣ flop. However, a 5♦ on the turn gave Tanouye a pair, but also gave Ortega flush and straight draws.
A dramatic 7♥ landed on the river, which completed Ortega's straight and earned him a double-up, while leaving Tanouye with just two big blinds.
