Ko Isayama was all in from the hijack for his remaining 260,000 and Wojciech Barzantny called from the big blind.
Ko Isayama: A♣10♦
Wojciech Barzantny: A♥8♣
Both missed on the low 4♣5♣9♥7♥3♠ runout, meaning Isayama's ten played and avoided a chop, doubling him up.

Three players called Yang Zhang's 85,000-chip bet preflop, then checked when J♥9♣A♠ hit the board.
David Hoote, first to act out of the big blind, pushed all in when the 10♥ landed on the turn. Zhang called.
David Hoote: A♣7♣
Yang Zhang: A♦A♥
Hoote had shoved into a set of aces and was drawing very slim, needing an eight for a straight to survive. When the useless 3♦ came on the river, Zhang took the pot and the overall chip lead.

Jacques Correa Ortega raised to 80,000 from the button, and Yu Liu three-bet to 320,000 from the small blind. Paul Fehlig then four-bet to roughly 2,000,000 from the big blind. Both players took their time before folding. Fehlig won a nice-sized pot without having to go to showdown.

A short-stacked Erik Svoboda was all in for his last 295,000 and at risk against Carlos Matoserarte.
Erik Svoboda: 10♦10♠
Carlos Matoserarte: A♦5♣
Svoboda breathed a sigh of relief when the Q♦2♠10♥ hit the flop and Matoserarte was already prepaying when the 9♠ hit the turn.
The 9♥ further improved Svoboda to a boat. A relieved Svoboda and the rest of the table racked up their chips as their table was the next to break.

Kenny Sung, who says he is playing in his first live tournament, has had an up-and-down day. He put his tournament life at risk betting his final 400,000-plus chips. Chad Lousberg made the call.
Kenny Sung: 6♥6♦
Chad Lousberg: [x][x]
Sung's sixes held through the runout of J♥4♣5♠10♣10♠, giving him two pair and the win to put him back to where he was earlier in the day.

Carter jammed for 835,000, and Girard thought before mucking his hand.
Carter showed K♣K♦ and asked Girard, "What did you have?"
Girard responded, "Ace-queen."
