Atanas Kodinov opened to 400,000 from under the gun and action folded to Anze Smajd who defended the big blind.
The 3♠Q♠10♦ flop saw Smajd check-call Kodinov's 550,000 bet.
The Q♥ was turned. Smajd checked and Kodinov bet 1,250,000, prompting a fold from Smajd.
The pair both left the hand towards the top of the counts coming towards the end of the day.
Yuan Yu was all in and at risk from the button for 2,500,000 and was called by Kenny Sung in the small blind.
Yuan Yu: A♦10♣ 
Kenny Sung: 3♣3♥
The dealer ran out a board of J♠9♠K♦10♠5♠, Yu welcomed his new chips to his growing stack.
Jesus Ortiz Calderon raised with a 380,000-chip bet. Baoqiang Ho moved all in from next to him in the cutoff. Calderon quickly called.
Baoqiang Ho: K♣K♠
Jesus Ortiz Calderon: Q♠Q♥
Ho's bigger pair held through the runout of 2♠A♥5♣4♥J♠ for the much-needed double-up.
Heads up to a flop of 10♠9♣K♥ saw Clayton Kalisek go all in over the continuation bet of Zdenek Zizka, who was quick to make the call.
Clayton Kalisek: A♦J♥
Zdenek Zizka: A♣K♦
Zizka was well in the lead when the 3♦ fell, but the Q♥ was a dagger that awarded Kalisek a full double with his nut straight.
The action picks up with Hubert Spitzenstatter shoving all in for 2,685,000 in chips. Yuan Yu made the call.
Hubert Spitzenstatter: K♥Q♣
Yuan Yu: A♦Q♥
Spitzenstatter was behind, but the card fell his way with the runout of 4♥2♥7♥K♣9♥ giving him a flush draw on the flop, a pair of kings on the turn and eventually a higher flush than Yu's
Adam Hendrix opened to 400,000 from under the gun and Atanas Kodinov three-bet to 1,100,000. Hendrix four-bet jammed for his remaining 2,000,000 and Kodinov called.
Adam Hendrix: A♠Q♥
Atanas Kodinov: K♥K♠
Hendrix needed to pick up and he found a queen on the Q♠2♥4♥ flop but it wasn't enough.
The J♠ turn and 6♥ river didn't bring any more luck and he was eliminated from the tournament in the last level of the day.
Luke Boynton went all in and was at risk from middle position for 860,000 and was called by Dominic Brugno in the big blind.
The board ran out K♥6♥Q♥6♦10♦, adding a much-needed boost to Boynton's stack.
Hao-Shan Huang went all in for approximately 3,000,000 and when it got to Cyril Darmouni in the big blind he seemed to be at a crossroads.
"I think it's a race...", he said as he counted his stack over. He mulled it over for quite some time but when the clock was called on his, he sighed and pushed a barrel forward to indicate the call.
Cyril Darmouni: K♦Q♦
Hao-Shan Huang: 8♦8♠
The flop favored Huang as it came 9♥9♣5♦ but the 6♦ on the turn improved Darmouni to a flush draw to go with his overs.
When the J♦ completed the board, Darmouni clapped his hands and celebrated his double up.
"Thank you for the time, it was a hard decision with King-Queen", he said before taking his seat.
Yuan Yu raised to 400,000 from late position, Jesus Ortiz Calderon called on the button. Nicholas Seward then moved all in for roughly 1,600,000 from the small blind and was at risk. Yu re-raised to about 2,800,000, prompting Calderon to fold.
Nicholas Seward: A♠K♠
Yuan Yu: A♦J♥
Things looked good for Seward on the K♥6♥10♠ flop. The 10♥ on the turn gave Yu some additional outs, and the 2♥ on the river was a stunner that sent Seward to the payout desk.
Casey Moore called Jesse Yaginuma's 625,000-chip bet on the turn with the board reading 7♣A♦3♦7♦. He then faced a bet of 1,400,000 on the river, after the board paired for a second time with the 3♠.
Moore made the call, but didn't show his cards after Yaginuma turned over K♦10♦ for a flush.
