Michael Newman moved all in for roughly 1,500,000 from the cutoff and was at risk. Jherson Alvarez made the call from the small blind.
The board ran out 2♣3♦J♣J♠A♥, sending Newman to the payout desk.
Robert Cheung began the hand with a raise to 460,000 from middle position. Yansong Kou reraised all in for 820,000 in the next seat over in the hijack.
The table folded to Paul Eidem on the button, who also elected to go all-in for 2,385,000. The table folded to Cheung, who opted to get out of the way to send Kou and Eidem to a showdown with Kou at risk.
Yansong Kou: 5♣5♥
Paul Eidem: A♦K♠
Kou needed the pocket fives to hold, and the flop was a friendly one as it ran 8♣9♦2♣. The 3♣ turn did not change the state of the hand, and the 3♦ river completed the board to award Kou the pot.
Eduardo Recarte open-shoved under the gun for 2,530,000 to put himself at risk and was called by Nikolai Tulin in the small blind.
Eduardo Recarte: 3♣3♥
Nikolai Tulin: Q♣Q♠
The flop came 8♠10♦2♥ with Tulin's pair of queens still in the lead. That was until the 3♠ landed on the turn, with Recarte improving to a set of treys.
The Q♥ fell on the river improving Tulin to a set of queens to send Recarte packing in dramatic fashion.
The action was picked up with Cody Wiegmann being all in and at risk for a remaining stack around 1,000,000, against Antonio Guerrero who had made the call.
Cody Wiegmann: A♠2♠
Antonio Guerrero: A♥7♦
The board didn't bring any surprise with 8♠3♥K♣4♠8♣ and Guerrero took down the pot while Wiegmann busted.
Istvan Keller went all-in from early position for 1,350,000. The table folded to Paul Vang in the big blind, who called to send the players to a showdown.
Istvan Keller: 6♦6♣
Paul Vang: A♣K♥
Keller held the slight edge preflop, but the J♦7♥J♥ gave Vang counterfeit opportunities. The 10♥ gave Vang even more outs against Keller's pair of sixes, but, luckily for Keller, the J♠ river avoided all of the hazards to score the double and stay in the tournament.
Vang would be left short following the loss, and he was busted shortly after to exit the tournament.
Jerry Robinson went all in and was at risk from early position for 400,000. Jake Mustain then went all in for roughly 2,000,000. Robbie Bull called out of the small blind for roughly 1,000,000 and was at risk.
Jerry Robinson: A♣5♣
Robbie Bull: K♣Q♠
Jake Mustain : A♥7♥
The board ran out 7♠2♥3♥8♦5♦, sending both Bull and Robinson to the payout desk.
In a heads-up raised pot, the flop read 2♥7♥9♠ when Julio Delgado first checked. Yukun Zhang bet 200,000 and Delgado raised it to 900,000. Zhang tanked for some time and eventually folded.
Iason Filippidis open-shoved for a remaining stack around 1,100,000, holding J♠J♦, and got called by Jose Severino, who held 8♠8♥.
Filippidis had good hopes for a double up but the board revealed A♠8♣K♣A♥5♣ to improve Severino's hand into a full house and Filippidis made his way to the exit.
