With two players seeing a board of 5♠7♠5♣ and 54,000 in the middle, Dario Dussan Guzman checked from early position and Loni Hui bet 18,000 from middle position. Guzman shoved with a covering stack and Hui called with 72,000 behind, putting herself at risk.
Loni Hui: A♥A♣ 
Dario Dussan Guzman: 10♥10♣
Hui's aces remained ahead of Guzman's tens on the 2♣6♣ runout, securing the double up.
Action was picked up with roughly 200,000 chips in the pot on a board of 2♥4♠5♣7♣5♠.
Jeremy Kottler was in the big blind and he bet 100,000 on the river. Michael Rangel, who was in the cutoff, went deep into the tank, and the clock was called.
Rangel had a few seconds left before he flicked in the call and heard "I've got a straight", Kottler turned over A♠3♠ for a flopped straight, Rangel said "happy birthday" as he tabled the 5♥, Kottler responded back with "my birthday is not for another six months".
Nicholas Pinguelo opened the action from middle position with a raise to 27,000, leaving himself just 2,500 behind. Sitting right next to him, Sorin Ionut Morariu made the call, and with no other takers, the two went heads-up to a flop of 8♦4♦J♥.
Pinguelo wasted no time and tossed in his last 2,500, which Morariu snap-called.
Nicholas Pinguelo: 10♣10♦
Sorin Ionut Morariu:A♦K♥
Pinguelo was ahead with his pocket tens, but the A♠ on the turn flipped the script, giving Morariu top pair. The 9♣ river offered no help, and with that, Pinguelo’s tournament run came to an end.
Thomas Winschel announced a raise in middle position and threw in 5,000. What he hadn't seen, though, was that a player had already raised to 5,000 before him. He was happy just to call, but as per the rules, he was forced to raise to 7,500.
Action then folded to Linus Goh in the cutoff, who, with his new information, put in a four-bet to 28,000.
The original raiser folded, and after a brief pause for thought, Winschel returned his cards to the dealer, abandoning his chips already in the middle.
Jeremy Kerbel raised to 6,000 from late position and on the button, Drew "BetOnDrew" Gonzalez called while Denys Bazeliuk called in the big blind.
The flop rolled out J♥J♠Q♣ and action checked through to the K♣ turn. Action checked around to Gonzalez who bet 10,000 and only Kerbel called.
On the river 9♠, Kerbel checked over to Gonzalez who bet 27,000 and Kerbel folded his hand.
With around 30,000 already in the pot on a completed board of 7♦Q♠9♠3♦A♦, Vincent Giuliano was first to act from middle position and chose to place out a bet of 22,500. Tim Duckworth, who was seated directly to the left of Giuliano in the hijack, tossed in the call.
Giuliano flipped over a busted flush draw with K♠6♠, and lost the pot to Duckworth's A♣Q♦ for top two pair.
Daniel Eichhorn opened to 5,500 and called a three-bet to 16,500 from Raoul Kanme.
The flop came 10♠8♠3♠ and Eichhorn check-called 21,000. The turn was the J♣ and Eichhorn check-called another 58,000.
The river was the 9♣ and both players checked. Eichhorn tabled 8♣8♥ for a set and took down the pot.
On a board of 10♦4♥J♦, there were around 25,000 chips in the pot when the action had checked to Shohei Isaka in the hijack, who fired out 7,500. Stephan Nussrallah called from under the gun, as did Antonio Saez in middle position.
The 8♣ on the turn checked around to the 10♣ river, where again it checked to Isaka. He threw out a bet of 26,500, which was enough to get the job done as the rest of the table folded.
Shortly after, Adrian Mateos raised from the hijack and got a call from Steve Heim in the small blind.
On the 2♦2♣A♦ flop, a small bet of 3,500 was enough to earn Mateos the pot.
The action was joined as Daisuke Sawayama and Kenneth Der were competing for a pot worth roughly 80,000 chips.
With a board already dealt to the turn showing 8♣7♣K♥2♠, the action was on Der.
Seeing that his opponent had less than a pot-sized bet behind, Der elected to move all in, for his opponent's effective stack of 70,500.
Sawayama went deep into the tank, thinking through the hand and formulating the best response. After a few minutes, he decided to flick in the call, putting his tournament life at risk.
Daisuke Sawayama: Q♠Q♥
Kenneth Der: K♣10♣
It was a dire situation for Sawayama, who only had one possible out to stay alive.
The river 5♣ only served to improve Der to a flush, and Sawayama headed to the exit.
