Kunal Patni shoved from the button into two smaller stacks on his left, and got a call from Joel Isla in the small blind, who had 33,000 to start the hand.
Joel Isla: A♦J♠ 
Kunal Patni: Q♦J♣
Isla was ahead with his ace-high and managed to stay there as the K♥4♣K♣A♥2♥ runout earned him a double-up.
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 just 56,000 behind, Jason Bullock shoved all in from middle position. Kyle Lorenz, sitting in the cutoff, asked for a count and then made the call. The rest of the table got out of the way, and the cards were turned over.
Jason Bullock: Q♠J♣
Kyle Lorenz: K♠K♣
Bullock needed to connect in a big way to stay alive, but the 8♠7♣4♠ flop offered little hope. The 2♦ on the turn already sealed his fate. Drawing dead going into the river, Bullock could only watch as his tournament came to an end, with Lorenz’s kings holding firm.
Jacob Lowery raised in early position, Simon Prudhomme three-bet to 25,000 in the cutoff, Scott Vener four-bet to 100,000 on the button, and Lowery five-bet shoved for roughly 600,000.
Prudhomme went deep into the tank and decided to fold. Vener also went deep into the tank, and with 103,000 chips behind he made the fold also, and tabled his hand of Q♠Q♥.
Lowery also showed his cards and tabled A♠K♠.
Usually, the action starts with a player making an aggressive action. In this case, it started when the dealer pitched the cards.
As is customary, the dealer pitched two cards to each player, or so she thought.
When the action folded around to the button, only then did Micah Raskin in the big blind notice that he only had one hole card.
The floor was called to give a ruling. It was determined that due to there being significant action, the hand was not a misdeal, and as such, Raksin's hand was dead.
Armed with this information, Sorin Cristea, on the button, immediately raised to 12,000. The player in the small blind folded, and Cristea took the blinds in unusual circumstances.
"Ouch, that hurts," Jacob Steele said as he vaulted out of the chair moments after he was eliminated by Alejandro Rodriguez. Both players still had their cards exposed with the K♣Q♠ for Steede and the K♠3♠ for Rodriguez. They had broadway until the A♥Q♣J♠10♠ turn but the 7♠ river gave Rodriguez the winning flush.
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.
Action was picked up on the flop in a pot between Jack Bittker in the big blind and Stanislav Zegal in the small blind.
With 39,000 in the center, both players checked the 9♣J♦4♠ flop to the Q♥ turn where Zegal bet 56,000 and Bittker called.
On the river 8♥, Zegal bet 38,000 and Bittker shifted in his seat.
"I was very afraid you were going to jam," said Bittker as he contemplated what to do with his hand.
After a few more seconds he put in the call, only to see Zegal turn over K♥10♣ for a king-high straight. It was good against Bittker's Q♦J♠ for queens and jacks and Zegal climbed to over one million in the counts.
Action picked-up three-ways to the turn with the board reading 6♠6♥4♦K♠ with around 80,000 in the middle already.
Franco Tucci from the small blind and Pierce McKellar from middle position ended up getting all of their chips into the middle as Jon Turner was the third participant from the big blind, but he folded facing an all-in and a call in front of him. Tucci was the one at risk for his final 105,000.
Franco Tucci: A♣K♥
Pierce McKellar: 6♦6♣
Tucci was already drawing dead against the flopped quads of McKellar as he began to leave the tournament area. To add insult to injury, the K♦ landed on the turn to give Tucci a full house as he returned to the table to snap a picture.
"Just tell your friends it was all in on the river," joked one of the tablemates.
Table short stack Lynda Hernandez was all-in and at risk for only 28,000 against Yosef Negussie.
Lynda Hernandez: J♥J♣
Yosef Negussie: 4♣4♥
The suits were covered as well and there was no upset on the Q♥7♥2♦K♥8♠ runout to keep Hernandez in contention.
