Laszlo Balogh went all in and was called by chip leader, Manuel Reyes, a few seats to his left.
Laszlo Balogh: 5♥5♠ 
Manuel Reyes: 9♠9♣
The board ran out Q♥7♦8♥Q♦2♣ and Balogh's fives were thwarted by the nines of Reyes.
Hiroki Nawa went all in for his last 11,700,000 and Manuel Reyes shrugged and called from the big blind.
Hiroki Nawa: 2♣2♦
Manuel Reyes: 8♠7♥
The board ran out 5♠J♦K♣A♣10♣ and Nawa celebrated his double with a song and dance before fist bumping Reyes.
Joseph Butler opened to 3,500,000 from middle position. Michael Criscione in the cutoff three-bet all-in for 16,900,000 and Butler called.
Michael Criscione: 8♥8♠
Joseph Butler: A♠K♣
The flop of Q♣5♦3♦ was followed by the A♥ turn which gave a top pair to Butler who immediately cheered with his rail. The Q♦ river completed the board and Criscione was eliminated.

Artur Kozlowski jammed from the small blind and Ramond Takhsh in the big blind snap called off his last 9,500,000.
Ramond Takhsh: A♣K♥
Artur Kozlowski: A♦4♥
"I need a diamond," Kozlowski said when Takhsh flopped two pair on K♦4♣A♥. The J♠2♣ runout changed nothing and Takhsh doubled up.
On the next hand, Kozlowski shoved for 3,600,000 with 9♣8♠ but split on A♥4♦4♣7♠7♣ against Laszlo Balogh in the big blind with 9♥2♥.
Two hands later, Kozlowski moved all-in once again for 4,800,000 and was called by Ian Pelz in the big blind.
Artur Kozlowski: 10♥8♥
Ian Pelz: 8♠7♠
Kozlowski was on his way to double up but on Q♣Q♥6♠10♠5♠, Pelz hit a runner-runner flush to eliminate Kozlowski.
Roland Israelashvili opened the action from middle position, as he shoved his remaining 15,900,000. Action got round to Thang Le on the button, who then announced "all in" for a little less than 13,000,000. Everyone else folded, and Le pushed his cards towards the middle.
Other players at the table then questioned his actions and got him to table his cards. The table was even more confused upon seeing what he had called all in with.
Thang Le: 6♠5♠
Roland Israelashvili: A♣8♥
It transpired that Le hadn't noticed Israelashvili's all-in and thought he opened with the shove. That being said, despite being behind, he took a commanding lead on the 6♥5♦K♠ flop, confining his opponent to runner-runner. The cards to follow were as sick as they come.
Le then turned added equity with a flush draw on the 7♠ turn, and it seemed as though his misclick would pay off. The 4♦ river did not reward it, however, as Israelashvili made a backdoor straight. There was a huge clamour from the rail that had been intently watching every action of the hand. "What a flop!" said one. "What a turn!" added another. "What a river!" a third onlooker finished off.
Kenny Bedoya opened up the action with a raise to 3,500,000 under the gun, and Sang Sim made the call from the button.
The flop of 8♠4♥8♥ checked through, allowing the J♥ to peel off on the turn. Bedoya bet out for 4,000,000, and Sim put in the smooth call. On the 5♦ river, Bedoya bet 10,000,000, and Sim shoved with a covering stack. Bedoya made the call.
"Nuts!" announced Sim, emphatically tabling A♥10♥ It was not, in fact, the nuts, however it was enough to beat Bedoya's flopped trips with Q♣8♣ and send him home.
Alexandros Kolonias open-shoved from middle position, and was called off by Manuel Reyes in the small blind, who had not only a covering stack but the table chip lead.
Alexandros Kolonias: Q♦J♦
Manuel Reyes: 8♣8♥
Kolonias couldn't find a pair as the board ran out 6♣4♠2♠K♦5♦ Reyes celebrated as he added to his mammoth stack.
Douglas Weymeersch had just chopped a pot against Bradley Moore when the prior's better ace-high got counterfeit by a double-paired board.
The Very Next Hand:
Douglas Weymeersch raised to 7,500,000, leaving himself 800,000 behind. Ian Pelz called and bet blind, putting Weymeersch all in before the flop scrolled across Q♠3♥2♥ and Weymeersch was quick to call, as he'd hit gin.
Douglas Weymeersch: K♥Q♥
Ian Pelz; A♥J♣
The turn had Weymeersch bemoaning his luck as it snapped off the A♠ and the river bricked the 5♦, awarding Pelz the pot and putting a halt to Weymeersch's thoughts of making Day 3.
