Heads-up to a flop of 6♠3♦5♥ where David Alvarez led out for 10,000 from the big blind and Eric Wasserson called out of the hijack.
The 6♣ fell on the turn, causing Alvarez to bet again, this time for 16,000. Once again, Wasserson called.
The two players checked the 4♠ river and Alvarez won the pot with K♦5♦ for a pair of fives.
Chance Kornuth opened to 10,000 from under the gun and Luke Chung three-bet to 30,000 from the button. Kornuth called.
The flop came 9♣4♥9♦ and Kornuth check-called a 30,000 continuation bet from Chung.
Chung fired a second barrel for 60,000 when checked to on the 6♣ turn and Kornuth called again.
On the 10♦ river Kornuth checked and Chung shoved, covering Kornuth who had 116,000 behind. Kornuth called after about a minute of contemplation, showing two pair with 8♥8♣. Chung had him beat with K♠K♥ for two pair, kings and nines to end Kornuth's Main Event run.
With the board showing 4♣Q♦3♦K♥Q♣ and around 280,000 in the pot, Max Neugebauer and Ivan Poroliev were locked in a heads-up battle. Neugebauer led out for 75,000 as the first to act, putting the pressure on Poroliev, who took his time to consider the spot.
After a long tank, Poroliev eventually released his hand, conceding the pot to Neugebauer, who quietly added a healthy boost to his stack.
Just a few hands later, Jonathan Pardy hit the rail from the same table.
When the action folded to Asko Muratovic in the cutoff, he put in a raise to 14,000. One seat to his left, Stephen Chidwick made the call, before Kao Saechao put in a three-bet from the small blind to 39,000. The big blind got out of the way, but both Muratovic and Chidwick called.
Saechao continued for 24,000 on the K♥7♣4♦ flop. Muratovic made the call, and Chidwick folded.
The K♠ joined the board as the turn card, and Saechao decided a check was in order. This gave Muratovic the green light to take over the betting lead, doing so with a wager of 25,000.
Muratovic put some brief thought into his response, but ultimately decided just to fold.
From middle position, Sergio Aido fired out a near-potsized bet of 45,000 on a board of K♦9♣A♥8♣, and Michael Bernstein called from the cutoff.
Upon seeing the 6♦ fall on the river, Aido bet out for 40,000. Not too long after, Bernstein raised to 225,000. Aido deliberated for a short time before returning his cards to the dealer and surrendering the pot to Bernstein.
Action was picked up on the flop in a three-way pot between Michael Miravi in the big blind, Antoine Berruel in first position, and Esther Taylor in early position.
The flop rolled out 6♠J♦K♠ and Miravi checked over to Berruel who bet 16,000 and both Miravi and Taylor called.
On the turn A♠, everyone checked over to Taylor who bet 40,000 and only Berruel called.
Both players checked the J♠ river and Berruel turned over A♦Q♥ for aces and jacks. That was no good against Taylor's A♣K♣ for aces and kings and she added a significant sum to her stack.

Jeremiah Wheeler opened the action from the hijack with a raise to 18,000, and Safiya Umerova defended her big blind.
The flop came 10♦Q♠9♠, and Umerova checked. Wheeler continued for 32,000, and Umerova stuck around with a call.
Both players checked the 3♠ turn.
On the K♥ river, Umerova checked once more, and Wheeler launched a sizable bet of 80,000 into the middle. Umerova didn’t hesitate, she called.
With the dealer announcing showdown, Umerova waited patiently, as Wheeler had made the last aggressive move. After a pause, Wheeler finally tabled 6♥5♣ for a stone-cold bluff. Umerova revealed Q♥8♠ for a pair of queens, enough to win the pot.
