A short-stacked Kyle Vandam was all in preflop against Bradley Stockdale and needed his suited ace to hold in order to remain in contention.
Kyle Vandam: A♠5♠ 
Bradley Stockdale: J♥10♠
The 8♣4♠3♣ flop kept Vandam in the lead but Stockdale improved on the J♦ turn, the J♠ river then gave him trips to send Vandam to the rail in the penultimate level of the night.
In a multi-way pre-flop pot, the pot was at about 16,000 when the flop came 2♥J♠5♣ and it was checked around to Joseph Gallagher in the big blind, who bet out for 4,500. All other players folded apart from Long Nguyen in the small blind who made the call.
The turn brought the 3♣, and again Nguyen check-called Gallagher's 6,500 bet. Both players checked the K♦ on the turn, and Nguyen tabled Q♥J♥ for second pair and was shipped the pot.
Kevin Gerhart raised to 3,000 in the hijack and Alex Lynskey defended from the big blind. The flop came Q♠J♠4♣ and Lynskey check-called a bet of 3,000 from Gerhart.
The K♦ landed on the turn and Lynskey checked again. Gerhart tossed in a bet of 8,500 and Lynskey hesitated before making the call. The 8♠ hit the river and both players knuckled the table. Lynskey whipped over Q♦2♠ for a pair of queens and Gerhart sent his cards into the muck.
Chao Duan opened to 3,000 from under the gun and action folded to Ignacio Tartaglia who defended the big blind.
The 9♣2♦6♦ flop was checked by both to see a 7♣ turn. Tartaglia bet 6,500 and Duan called.
Tartaglia bet 20,000 on the Q♣ river and Tartaglia thought, before throwing in a chip to call.
Duan showed Q♦J♦ for a pair of queens he made on the river, and Tartaglia turned over A♠5♠.
Colin Beveridge got his last 150,000 in the middle from the button as Steven Rivero put in at risk from the big blind.
Colin Beveridge: Q♠Q♣
Steven Rivero: A♠A♥
Beveridge had run his queens into Rivero's aces, while the A♣K♦10♠ flop improved Rivero to a set. Beveridge was left looking to complete a straight draw, but he couldn't connect with the 7♦ turn or 3♠ river and was sent to the rail.
Terry Moore, Harry Lodge, and Brent Barby were all all in preflop, with Terry Moore having the shortest stack.
Terry Moore: A♠Q♣
Harry Lodge: A♦K♣
Brent Barby: A♣K♠
The board ran out 10♥9♠J♦J♥Q♠ — leaving Lodge and Barby with Broadway to eliminate Moore late in the evening.
Antonio Vargas raised to 3,500 and then faced a three-bet to 12,000 by Roger Fontes in the next seat, which he opted to call. They checked all the way to the K♣8♦8♥10♥2♥ river on which Vargas checked. Fontes bet 10,500 and that won the pot uncontested, as Vargas opted to fold.
"Don't do it," Vargas said when Fontes checked his cards once again - and ultimately revealed the A♥ before stacking up the chips.
Haruki Arita opened to 3,000 in the hijack and Sanchez Gervin three-bet to 6,000 on the button. Theo Gillis four-bet to 16,000 from the big blind and only Gervin called.
The flop fell 10♦4♣4♦ and Gillis continued with a bet of 7,500. Gervin called and the 9♥ rolled off on the turn. Gillis fired out another bet of 26,000 and Gervin stuck around for the 8♠ on the river.
Gillis counted out a bet of 50,000 on the river and Gervin went into the tank for a couple of minutes before making the call. Gillis turned over A♥K♦ for ace-high while Gervin made the call with 6♠6♦. The table let out some big gasps in shock of Gervin's hero call with an underpair to the board.
Sviatoslav Belov open-raised preflop from early position, and Aaron Gunn called in the small blind. Gunn check-called Belov's bets on the 3♥Q♥6♥ flop and 6♠ turn, after which the dealer put the 6♣ river on the felt.
Gunn checked for a third time, and Belov put his opponent all in for 27,500. After a small tank, Gunn called for his tournament life.
Belov tabled A♠Q♣ for sixes full of queens, and Gunn left the tournament area after he had tabled A♣3♣ for sixes full of threes.
