Nearly half of the field has been eliminated already and the remaining 413 players are going on their last 15-minute break of the night.
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Brian Rast was already all in preflop and looked up by three opponents as the flop fell A♥K♠Q♠. It was checked to Ludovic Geilich on the button who bet 12,800. That forced the other contenders and Geilich locked up the side pot of 17,400 already.
Brian Rast: A♣K♦9♠4♣ 
Ludovic Geilich: A♠K♥8♠3♣
Both had the same top two pair while Geilich held the spade flush draw on top. Nothing changed on the 10♥ turn and Q♥ river as they chopped the main pot.

A large pot broke out on Table 100 where Sascha Wilhelm three-bet to 18,000 out of the big blind and was called by three players. The flop came K♠10♦3♠ and Chris Vitch jammed all in for 57,000 from the big blind. Wilhelm reshoved all in for 100,600 and both Navkiran Singh and Ludovic Geilich folded.
Chris Vitch: K♦J♦10♥6♥
Sascha Wilhelm: A♠A♥5♠5♥
Vitch flopped two pair to hold the lead but Wilhelm had a flush draw and two options at a set. The 8♥ on the turn bricked out but it was the Q♠ on the river that gave Wilhelm his flush and eliminated Vitch.

In a single raised pot, five players saw the flop come out K♠9♠6♥. The action checked to Jon Kyte on the button and he bet 10,000. Only Alejandro Jauregui called from the cutoff.
Jauregui checked on the 6♦ turn, and Kyte fired out a bet of 16,000. This was enough to get Jauregui to fold, and Kyte dragged the pot in.

While a big hand was playing out at his table, Jason Mercier took a stroll around the room and stumbled upon Table 87 which included Toby Lewis, Matthew "Bucky" Wantman, and Michael Duek sitting beside each other.
"Wow, look at this table," Mercier said, engaging with them. Wantman noted that Duek's humming and whistling was starting to bother him. "Do you guys have beef?"
"We're about to!" Wantman joked.
"Take it up on the pickleball court," Mercier suggested.
"I would love to!" Duek chimed in.
"Ya, you would win, Bucky's no bueno," Mercier referred to Wantman.
Mercier returned to his seat and the cards were back in the air as usual.

Yuriy Boyko limped from the hijack before Luke Schwartz raised to 2,400 from the cutoff. When it got back to Boyko, he limp-raised to 9,000. Schwartz made the call.
Both players checked the Q♥A♥A♣ flop to see the 6♠ hit the turn. Boyko bet 3,500, which Schwartz called.
Upon seeing the 10♠ appear on the river, Boyko jammed for around 19,000. Schwartz took a few moments before releasing his hand and surrendering the pot to Boyko.
Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
The action started with a raise to 3,000 by Colby Covington and Erik Seidel flat-called. Mark Zajdner three-bet the pot to 14,800 on the button and Covington called. Seidel in the cutoff then reraised the pot to just shy of 60,000 for two thirds of his stack. That got rid of Zajdner while Covington called and checked the 5♣4♠2♠ flop. Seidel pushed all-in and Covington called.
Erik Seidel: A♣A♥Q♠4♣
Colby Covington: K♥K♦8♦8♥
The A♦ turn improved Seidel to an unbeatable set of aces, which he had needed as the 8♣ river gave Covington the now inferior set of eights.
