The action began with a raise from Phil Ivey to 6,500 before getting called by Alex Foxen.
The flop of A♣A♥7♠ resulted in a check from Foxen before Ivey pushed out 4,000. Foxen opted to raise to 12,000 in response, garnering a call from Ivey.
Foxen continued betting on the 3♦ turn for 20,000, and Ivey came along.
Both players checked the 2♥ river.
Foxen showed 6♠4♠.
Ivey's K♠9♦ was enough to rake in the pot.

Barak Wisbrod raised it up on the button and Thomas Eychenne reraised to 25,000 from the big blind. Wisbrod called and the flop of 8♠6♠2♦ hit the felt.
Eychenne led out with a large bet of 65,000 and Wisbrod jammed all in. As the dealer was in the midst of counting chips, Eychenne decided to call anyway.
Thomas Eychenne: J♠J♥
Barak Wisbrod: K♠Q♠
Eychenne still held the best hand but Wisbrod held two overcards and a flush draw. The 2♥ on the turn was a brick and the A♥ on the river also changed nothing.
Wisbrod was under the impression that Eychenne had the bigger stack and bounced from the tournament area. After closer investigation, it was Eychenne who was all in for 270,100 and Wisbrod still had 10,000 chips left. Despite returning to his short stack, Wisbrod was eliminated on the next hand.

Masato Yokosawa opened for raise to 6,000 on the button, and Martin Zamani went all in. Yokosawa snap called and the cards were on their backs.
Yokosawa: A♠K♠
Zamani: J♦J♣
The dealer was about to deal the flop before Yokosawa stopped her. "Did you burn?", he asked the dealer. The dealer then realized that she hadn't burned, and the floor was called over.
The floor ruled that one exposed flop card, the 2♠ would be the burn card. The board then ran out the K♣7♦6♣8♠Q♦, and it's important to note that the key card that gave Yokosawa top pair likely would have been the burn card before the turn had Yokosawa not noticed the dealer error.

The table is empty, but the dealer was on hand to advise on the brutal end to Wesley Fei's heads-up match versus Brandon Brown.
Both players had seen a board of 2x3x5x before the players got all the chips in the middle.
Wesley Fei: Ax4x
Brandon Brown 6x4x
Both players had flopped a straight, but Brown had the better end of it.
Brown had Fei covered and will progress to the next round.

Chance Kornuth raised from the button to 5,000 and Edward Sebesta made the call.
The board came out 10♠10♦6♠ and when Chance bet 3,000, Sebesta raised to 9,000. Kornuth called.
The turn came the A♣ and now Sebesta checked. Kornuth fired out 8,000, and Sebesta opted to just call this time.
When the 9♣ came on the river, Sebesta announced "35", and put in a bet of 35,000. Kornuth pondered, but eventually released his hand and Sebesta dragged the pot.
Sebesta still has some ground to gain to catch his opponent, but this was a nice pot for him.
