Anze Smajd put his final 310,000 chips into the pot with an all-in, and Matt Affleck went all in over the top. Luis Faria, who had the most chips of the three, made the call.

Anze Smajd: A♦A♠All in
Matt Affleck: A♣Q♦All in
Luis Faria: 10♣10♠

Affleck was in jeopardy, needing to at least beat Faria in a race for the side pot to stay alive. The runout of 5♣9♥6♣J♠2♦ didn't help him, as the pocket pairs held. Smajd tripled up and Faria got twice his investment back from the side pot.

Ido Aboudi: A♠2♠ All in
Jiaofang Duan: 9♥9♦

The board completed with the 5♣ and Adoubi was awarded the full double with aces-up.

Yucel Eminoglu: K♥K♠All in
Yuzhu Wang: A♠K♦All in
Paul Fehlig: A♥Q♦

Wang got help immediately with the flop 4♥A♦J♦, and his ace with the king-kicker held through the 3♣9♠ turn and river.

The cards were already showing and Jeffrey Tanouye relayed the action, that the players had got it all in on the 2♦4♦3♠ flop.

Simon Higgins was sitting under the gun and at risk for his remaining 2,000,000 stack after calling off Jeffrey Tanouye in the small blind, who had jammed for around 2,600,000.

Simon Higgins: A♦K♦All in
Jeffrey Tanouye: 4♠4♥

Higgins was looking at a flush draw, and Tanouye had flopped a set of fours.

The Q♦ turn brought in the flush for Higgins, but the 3♦ river gave Tanouye a boat, eliminating Higgins from the tournament.
