Joao Simao limped in from early position. Michael Moncek called from the cutoff, Veselin Karakitukov called from the small blind and Erik Seidel checked his option.
The flop was 9♦9♥8♠. Action checked to Simao, who bet 35,000. Only Moncek called.
Both players checked on the 6♦, then on the 6♠ river, Simao bet 85,000. Moncek tossed in the call. Simao showed K♥J♠9♣7♥ for trip nines, and that won him the pot.
With the late registration period nearing its end, the tournament director has paused the clock.
There will be five more hands played before the players take a break.
The 15-minute break will be the last opportunity to enter or reenter, after which, the full field will redraw for new seats.
Noah Schwartz and Cary Katz were in the blinds and had gathered 100,000 in the middle when the A♥3♣Q♥ flop was dealt. Katz's remaining 170,000 was then also pushed in, with Schwartz putting him at risk.
Cary Katz: A♠A♣9♠6♣ 
Noah Schwartz: K♥K♣8♥4♠
Schwartz's flush draw did not come in on the 5♠ turn or 4♣ river, and Katz doubled up with his aces.
Najeem Ajez raised on the cutoff to 55,000, and Christopher Frank, on the button, made the call. Frank Crivello then increased the price of poker to 210,000 from the small blind, and both Ajez and Frank called.
Crivello then moved the rest of his stack into the middle, roughly 400,000, on the 3♦9♠9♦ flop. Ajez folded, but Frank made the immediate call.
Frank Crivello: A♣Q♥J♣9♣
Christopher Frank: A♦K♥6♥2♦
The turn A♠ improved Crivello to a full house, and after the dealer revealed the 2♠ river, the pot was pushed towards Crivello.
Joao Simao raised from the cutoff to 40,000 and was re-raised by Manuel Stojanovic in the big blind to 130,000. Simao made the call.
The J♣9♠7♠ flop was followed by a check from Stojanovic, a bet of 225,000 from Simao, and an all-in bet from Stojanovic to 440,000, putting himself at risk. Simao made the call.
Manuel Stojanovic: A♥10♦8♥6♦
Joao Simao: K♣6♣4♠3♠
The 9♣K♥ runout was safe for Stojanovic, and he found the double-up worth over a million chips.
Andjelko Andrejevic had already gone all in at a previous point in the hand when Lou Garza won a side pot on the 6♦8♥9♣3♦ turn, bringing it to a heads-up showdown.
Andjelko Andrejevic: 8♣5♦2♠2♣
Lou Garza: K♥K♦10♦7♠
Andrejevic was drawing dead against the straight of Garza, and he took his exit as the 8♠ river rolled off.
Action folded to Farid Jatten in the small blind, who limped. Big blind Alex Foxen raised to 45,000, and Jatten made the call.
Both players checked the Q♦J♥6♥ flop, which prompted Jatten to lead out on the 3♦ turn, betting 90,000. Foxen called, and the two continued to a river.
The river J♠ was enough to slow Jatten down, electing to check. Foxen wasn't done with the pot yet, though, sliding out a bet of 285,000.
Jatten looked suspicious and even used a time bank whilst considering what to do, ultimately choosing to fold.
Gergo Nagy opened the cutoff to 55,000 and Stephen Chidwick called the small blind.
The 9♠8♣A♠ flop was checked by Chidwick and raised by Nagy to 85,000. Chidwick called.
Chidwick check-folded after Nagy bet big on the K♣ turn, leaving Nagy to collect the pot.
Andjelko Andrejevic raised to 50,000 in middle position. Next to act, Nick Schulman potted to 190,000. Phil Hellmuth, who just entered the tournament, went into the tank two to Schulman's left. He eventually folded. Action folded around to Andrejevic, who called.
The flop was A♣10♠9♣ and Andrejevic checked. Schulman moved all in, and Andrejevic called.
Nick Schulman: A♥A♦7♦2♦
Andjelko Andrejevic: K♠J♦J♠10♦
The turn was the 5♥ and river was the 5♦, and Schulman's full house gave him a double and left Andrejevic very short stacked.
Allan Le raised from early position and was re-raised by Isaac Haxton, next to act, to 175,000. Le made it 350,000 to go, and Haxton called.
The flop of 7♦5♣3♥ was followed by an all-in bet from Le for roughly 300,000. Haxton called, putting himself at risk.
Isaac Haxton: K♠10♣9♣8♠
Allan Le: A♦A♠7♥4♦
The A♣8♥ runout was safe for Le, and he sent Haxton to the rail.
Haxton has registered once again after this hand.
