Action was picked up on the flop in a three-way pot between Jordan Knackstedt in the small blind, Andy Tsai in first position, and Matthew Blanco on the button with 23,000 in the center.
The flop read Q♣A♣7♥ and action checked over to Tsai who bet 8,000, prompting Blanco to raise to 16,000.
Only Tsai called and he checked the turn 2♣ over to Blanco who bet 20,000, eliciting a quick fold from Tsai.
Action was on a A♣J♥9♠ flop and Christopher O'Donnell check-called a bet of 4,000 from Doug Polk.
The turn was the 10♣ and O'Donnell checked. Polk enquired as to O'Donnell's stack before checking back.
The river was the 5♦. O'Donnell checked for the third time and action was on Polk. He opted to check, and mucked when O'Donnell showed A♥7♥ for top pair.
Max Neugebauer opened the button to 5,000 and got a call from Alexander Rocha in the big blind.
They saw a flop of 2♥3♠J♦, where Rocha check-called a bet of 5,000 from Neugebauer.
Both then knuckled to showdown on the 10♥Q♠ runout, with Rocha flipping over A♦5♠ for just ace-high. Neugebauer had that beat as he turned a pair of tens with 10♣9♦, which meant he added a few more chips to his big stack .
Noel Rodriguez raised to 5,000 from early position before Jeremy Goldman three-bet to 12,500 from the hijack. Stanley Lee cold four-bet to 30,000 out of the small blind, which only Goldman called.
Heads-up to the 5♦Q♣2♥ flop, where Lee continued with a bet of 23,000. Goldman made the call.
The J♣ came on the turn, and after a few moments, Lee jammed for 70,000. Goldman went deep into thought, thinking for multiple minutes. Ultimately, Goldman made the call.
Stanley Lee: A♥A♦ 
Jeremy Goldman: A♣K♣
Lee was ahead with aces, but Goldman had straight and flush possibilities with his Big Slick. The 3♦ came on the river, and Lee doubled up through Goldman.
Riva Arthur from the button and Stephanie Morris from the big blind were heads-up to the river with 45,000 in the middle and the completed board reading K♦Q♥4♦A♦9♠.
Morris checked to Arthur who bet 25,000, which respresented half of Morris' remaining chips. She would go deep into the tank for over two minutes before she elected to flick in the call.
Riva Arthur: Q♦10♥
Stephanie Morris: A♣J♥
Morris made the right call with her top pair as she was able to find some breathing room and takes some chips off one of the bigger stacks in the room.
Jacob Steede raised to 6,000 in early position and in middle position, Tong Li raised to 20,000. Action folded back around to Steede who moved all in for 49,000 effective and Li called.
Tong Li: 9♣9♥
Jacob Steede: A♥A♦
The board ran out 7♠4♠5♥4♦K♣ and the aces held up for Steede to eliminate Li from the tournament.
Isaac Rodgin opened to 5,000 from under the gun, Omid Nikzad called from middle position and Dario Dussan Guzman called from the cutoff.
The flop came 4♦J♣9♥. Rodgin bet 7,000, Nikzad shoved for 24,000, Guzman folded 7♠7♣ and Rodgin snap-called with a covering stack to put Nikzad at risk.
Omid Nikzad: J♦10♦
Isaac Rodgin: 9♠9♣
Nikzad was drawing dead by the turn and was sent to the rail after the 9♦K♥ runout improved Rodgin to quad nines.
Bryan Shay opened on the button to 5,000 but met resistance in the form of a three-bet by Thien Tran in the big blind. Tran had raised to 17,500, and Shay made the call.
The dealer then provided a monotone 4♠7♠3♠ flop, and Tran continued for 13,000. Again, Shay came along with a call.
The Q♣ turn saw sparks fly. Tran elected to check, and Shay took over the betting lead with a bet of 27,000. Tran immediately moved all in, and Shay called.
It was Shay who had the shorter stack and, as such, was at risk of elimination.
Bryan Shay: A♦Q♠
Thien Tran: A♠A♣
It was a sorry situation for Shay, whose spade draw wasn't even live and could only hit a queen to survive.
The deck smiled upon him, though, as the dealer burned and turned the Q♥, not only keeping him alive, but giving him twice as many chips to continue with.
Jason Wheeler opened to 5,500 from under the gun, Daniel Negreanu three-bet to 30,000 from the button, Wheeler shoved with a covering stack and Negreanu, who had 16,000 behind, called and was at risk.
Daniel Negreanu: K♠K♥
Jason Wheeler: A♠Q♦
Negreanu remained ahead with pocket kings on the 3♠3♣2♣5♥3♦ runout to double up through Wheeler.
Felipe Campins opened from early position and Matija Dobric three-bet to 15,000 on the button.
Campins then four-bet to 40,500 as the action got back around and Dobric folded.
