Jacob Frank open-shoved all in for 1,500,000 on the button. David Mead called, taking both of them to showdown.
Jacob Frank: 2♣2♥ 
David Mead: Q♠Q♣
All throughout the deal, Frank was calling for a two to fall, but Mead's queens held on the board that ran 8♠J♥3♣9♥4♥. Frank was sent to the rail as Mead scooped the pot.
Luther Tran checked the flop of Q♥3♠10♣ and a pot of 800,000. Abraham Faroni, the only other player in the hand, bet to 225,000 and got raised by Tran to 565,000. Faroni called.
The turn dropped 10♠ and Tran kept the pressure with 870,000 which was enough to make Faroni fold.
Thijs Hilberts opened from the button and got a call from Dalton Reames in the big blind.
The flop came 8♦A♠7♠, and Reames checked. Hilberts led out for 250,000, and Reames responded by moving all in for just a bit more. Hilberts quickly called, and the cards were turned up.
Dalton Reames: 6♠4♠
Thijs Hilberts: Q♠Q♣
Reames had a flush draw, but Hilberts was ahead with his pair of queens. The turn brought the 8♥ and the river the K♦, missing Reames' spades and sealing his elimination. Hilberts scooped the pot and continued to secure a spot in the top chip counts.
Rodrigo Perez raised to 255,000 from early position. Antonio Guerrero called from the big blind.
The flop came K♥6♣6♠, and both players checked. On the 10♠ turn, Guerrero led out for 225,000. Perez responded with a raise to 475,000. Guerrero thought for a long time and made the call.
The river was the A♠, and both players checked. Guerrero showed 7♠6♥ for trips, and he dragged the pot.
Richard Bai was all-in against Abraham Faroni in a battle of blinds.
Richard Bai: A♥J♠
Abraham Faroni: A♦K♥
Faroni's Big Slick held through the runout 6♣5♠10♠3♦2♥, sending Bai to the payout window.
Level: 28
Blinds: 60,000/120,000
Ante: 120,000
With the board showing J♦A♥3♦2♠, Rafael Port moved all in from the small blind. Jian Huang took a long time pondering the call, which would put all of his 365,000 chips at risk. He took the chance.
Jian Huang: J♥10♣
Rafael Port: J♠3♣
For a second, Huang thought he was ahead with the higher kicker, but groaned when it hit him that Port had two pair. The river 5♠ didn't rescue Huang.
Jihoon Kim kicked things off with an under-the-gun raise to 210,000. Sitting right next to him, Nikolai Mamut moved all in for 1,320,000. Action folded to Honcheong Lee, who reshoved for around 1,230,000, putting the decision back on Kim.
Faced with two all-ins ahead, Kim hesitated and tried to lighten the moment by asking the table, "If I open-fold, can you teach me a bit?" The table responded with a round of head shakes, drawing a laugh from Kim as he added, "No free lesson?"
In the end, Kim laid it down, showing 6♠6♦. That left Mamut and Lee to battle it out.
Honcheong Lee: A♦Q♦
Nikolai Mamut: J♠J♦
Lee was looking to improve, but the board came J♣4♣5♦4♥J♥, giving Mamut a full house on the turn and quads on the river. He scored a massive double and stayed alive, while Lee’s run came to a sudden end.
