In a heads-up pot, the flop read 2♣2♠A♣ when Terry Wheeler checked from the big blind. Daniel Strelitz bet 15,000 and Wheeler raised it to 40,000, which Strelitz called.
On the 9♥ turn, Wheeler check-called for 40,000 and a 10♦ landed on the river. Wheeler checked again and quickly called Strelitz's bet worth 85,000, but mucked A♥8♣ after Strelitz showed A♦Q♠ for the winning hand.
Rocco Iati raised to 22,000 in early position and Michael Diab shoved for 131,000. It folded back to Iati who tanked a minute and announced the call:
Michael Diab: K♦Q♦ 
Rocco Iati: A♣J♠
Diab had some hopes for a double up but the board brought 8♠8♦7♣9♣3♣ and he made his way to collect his money prize.
Action was picked up with Chia Huang, under the gun, and Vito Branciforte, in middle position, in an all-in showdown with their hands and chips in the middle of the felt.
Chia Huang: Q♥Q♠
Vito Branciforte: A♥Q♣
The board ran 5♥3♥J♦2♣8♠. With no ace on the board Huang doubled up leaving Branciforte with only 40,000.
In the very next hand, Branciforte open-shoved with his remaining chips in middle position. Action folded around to the big blind Huang who made the call.
Vito Branciforte: 6♠6♥
Chia Huang: K♥K♦
Once again, Huang was ahead and kept his lead on the flop 9♦7♣Q♥. The turn came the 8♦, which gave Branciforte a bit of hope when it gave him an open-ended straight draw. But the 4♦ river card cemented his elimination from the tournament in two hands against Huang.
In a heads-up raised pot, the flop read A♦8♦3♣ when Yaginuma check-called a bet worth 25,000 from David Rees.
The 4♦ turn brought no action and the 2♣ landed on the river. Both checked again and Yaginuma tabled A♣A♥ for trips aces. Rees took some time to release his cards into the muck.
"Good enough?" said Yaginuma jokingly before grabbing the pot.
All the chips went in the middle on a flop Q♠3♦K♠ between Huihan Wu and Ehsan Amiri, at risk for a stack of 110,000.

Amiri managed to hit a flush as the rest of the board showed 10♣4♠ and took down the pot to double up.
Sebastian Schulze was all in and at risk from the big blind for his remaining 140,000 stack. His opponent Yilong Wang covered him from a late position.
Sebastian Schulze: A♥10♠
Yilong Wang: A♣K♠
It was a quick elimination, and Schulze stood from the table as the K♦K♥A♠ flop was dealt. He didn't stick around to watch the 2♥ turn or 3♥ river.
On a table across the floor, Kenny Shih in the small blind and in a pot with Camille Brown in the big blind.
The players were heads-up and on the turn with a 10♦8♦3♥4♥ board.
Shih had moved all in for his remaining 100,000 and Brown made the call.
Kenny Shih: J♦10♠
Camille Brown: A♦7♦
Shih was ahead when the cards were flipped, but Camille stole back on the Q♦ river with the flush.
Asi Moshe opened to 20,000 in late position and got a three-bet from Nathaniel Silver in the hijack to 50,000. Baoqiang Ho in big blind four-bet to 155,000 pushing Moshe out of the pot. Silver five-bet all-in for around 500,000 and Ho snap-called putting Silver's tournament life on the line.
Nathaniel Silver: A♦K♥
Baoqiang Ho: K♠K♣
The dealer fanned out 2♣7♦7♥ maintaining Ho's lead. Silver still had hope to continue his run with an ace on the board. The turn 9♠ didn't change anything and the river J♣ made Silver's elimination a certainty. After verifying that he was covered, Silver left the table to head to the payout counter as Ho happily scooped the pot.
Aleks Dimitrov went all in from middle position, and got a call from Tianle Wang in the big blind.
Aleks Dimitrov: 10♣9♣
Tianle Wang: A♠10♥
Dimitrov looked good on the flop, but on the full runout of 7♠9♦K♠Q♥J♥, Wang hit a gutshot straight on the river to knock him out.
