The remaining 54 players head to a 20-minute break. During this break, the 25,000 denomination chips will be raced off. Action resumes at 9:00 p.m. local time.
Jesus Rodriguez went all in from early position for 6,225,000 and was called by Yoon Kim in the small blind, who had roughly 6,000,000 and was at risk.
Yoon Kim: 10♥10♦
Jesus Rodriguez: A♠J♣
The dealer ran out a board of 2♠J♦7♥A♦9♣, sending Kim to the payout desk.
The action was picked up on a board of 7♥6♠7♠A♦K♦ with 5,200,000 in the pot and Ramond Takhsh in the big blind all-in on the river for 4,750,000 against Wei-Chian Hsu under the gun.
Hsu though he had the win with A♠A♣ for a full house, but Takhsh flipped over 7♦7♣ for quads and secured a double up.
Manuel Reyes opened the action under the gun with a raise to 6,000,000. Piotr Grubba called all in from middle position, and everyone else folded.
Piotr Grubba: A♦K♦
Manuel Reyes: K♥K♠
There was no ace on the 3♦4♠2♣8♣10♥ runout, sending Grubba to the rail.
Sanjeev Kapoor raised to 1,500,000 from under the gun, Tefan Liu then three-bet to 3,000,000. Kapoor then went all in and was at risk for 11,750,000. Liu took some time before deciding to call and was behind.
Sanjeev Kapoor: 10♠10♥
Tefan Liu: 7♣7♥
The final board read 3♦2♣K♠6♥4♦. Kapoor's tens were a welcome sight as his stack continues to grow.
Yuanzhi Cao opened the action to 1,300,000 from the hijack, before Daniel Clemente shoved his remaining 3,000,000 on the button. Cao put in the call.
Daniel Clemente: A♦K♠
Yuanzhi Cao: K♣8♣
Clemente was one elimination away from a pay jump, and there was quite the sweat as the board read 5♣7♠Q♥10♣ on the turn. However, the clean 9♦ river doubled him up, and he made the $1,500 jump just moments later
Alexandros Kolonias raised to 1,200,000 from middle position and action folded to Thi Le in late position who moved all in for 7,875,000. Kolonias thought for a while before making the call.
Thi Le: K♦10♥
Alexandros Kolonias: K♠J♠
Le was in trouble and needed to outdraw Kolonias or hit some miracle cards. The flop didnt help when it came 3♦4♠8♠ and when the 6♠ peeled off on the turn to give Kolonias a flush, Le was drawing dead. The irrelevant 2♥ completed the board and Le was sent packing.
Tefan Liu went all in and was put at risk by Zachary Zehnder.
"Am I the pay jump bubble?" Liu asked, half bemused and half disappointed.
Tefan Liu: Q♥J♦
Zachary Zehnder: K♥K♠
The board ran out 3♦3♣10♦6♣7♥ and Liu's run came to an end. He was, indeed, the one who bubbled the $1,530 pay jump.
Joshua Palmer jammed for 6,075,000 from under the gun. Kyungkeun Lee called off his last 5,300,000 from two seats over and all the other players folded.
Kyungkeun Lee: 9♥9♠
Joshua Palmer: Q♠J♠
Lee flopped a set on 9♦2♥6♦K♣A♣ and secured a double up.
