Qibang Cheung was all-in for a short stack and looked up two ways, as Daniel Perkusic jammed over the top and was called by the larger stack belonging to Igor Holdaiy.
Qibang Cheung: A♥10♠8♥6♥
Daniel Perkusic: A♠Q♣J♠10♥
Igor Holdaiy: K♦Q♠9♥7♥
The A♣7♠3♠2♠7♣ board gave Perkusic an unbeatable flush on the turn and he notched up the elimination while also doubling through Holdaiy for 326,000 in the much larger side pot.

Kai Yang started the hand with a limp from the cutoff. Brandon Crawford made the 72,000 from the button, with Erik Nordstrand calling from the small blind, and Yang also calling.
Nordstrand led out for 248,000 on the 5♦10♥8♠ flop. Yang committed his last 141,000, and Crawford folded.
Kai Yang: Q♦Q♠10♠2♦
Erik Nordstrand: K♣J♥9♥7♣
Nordstrand flopped a straight against the overpair of Yang. The 8♣ turn meant only a queen or eight on the river would save Yang. The 8♥ appeared on the river to give Yang a boat, eights full for queens, keeping him in the tournament.

Samir Hage asked the dealer if he had put in his four thousand chips while his small blind was already 8,000.
"Here are my eight, and another eight," Hage said as he limped. Michael Wang in the big blind checked and the flop came J♠5♥3♦. Hage check-called for 30,000 and the 4♥ turn was checked. On the A♥ river, Hage bet 53,000 and Wang reluctantly called but mucked upon being shown the 9♣7♠6♠3♣.
"Now I am not tilted anymore," Hage said to the dealer.

By the time the turn showed J♠8♣2♠3♣, there were only 328,000 in the middle when Javier Francort checked. Kyle Ho bet 175,000 and Francort check-raised the pot. Ho went into the tank for a while and then jammed, Francort called all-in with a seven-figure stack.
Javier Francort: A♠K♠10♦8♥
Kyle Ho: A♥A♣5♣2♥
Ho only needed to dodge spades and some pair combos of the Dutch player, but the Q♠ fell on the river. The double for Francort was worth a massive 1,036,000 to create the largest pot of the day so far.

Noel Rodriguez raised the pot to 56,000 in the cutoff and was called by Simon Lofberg on the button. Matthew Beck reraised the pot from the small blind and Rodriguez stuck in his stack of around 260,000. Lofberg got out of the way and the two hands were face up.
Noel Rodriguez: A♣A♦J♣5♥
Matthew Beck: A♠A♥Q♥2♥
The flop came 9♠9♥5♣ and it appeared that the two players were going to chop the pot. However, the 10♥ and J♥ runout gave Beck the ace-high flush and Rodriguez was forced to the rail.

Both players chose to check every street on a runout of K♣Q♥10♦Q♦A♠. Davies revealed A♣10♣8♠7♥ for a pair of aces, and Koliakoudakis mucked his hand.

Roussos Koliakoudakis raised it up on the button and John Monnette three-bet shoved all in for around 125,000 in the small blind. Koliakoudakis quickly called to put Monnette at risk.
John Monnette: K♣J♠J♥8♠
Roussos Koliakoudakis: A♣K♥K♦9♣
The flop fell 9♦6♠3♥ which provided no real help to anyone, leaving Monnette searching for a jack. The 4♦ and A♥ runout bricked out and Monnette was eliminated.
