Giovanni Pupo raised to 30,000 in the hijack, Minh Nguyen moved all in for 160,000 on the button, and Pupo called.
Minh Nguyen: A♠Q♥ 
Giovanni Pupo: 7♥7♦
Nguyen needed to win the coin flip to stay alive, but Pupo's pair stayed in the lead through the J♥4♦4♣5♥8♠ board to send Nguyen to the rail.
Christopher Alcindor raised to 25,000 under the gun and picked up calls from James Pillon in middle position and Ran Ilani in the small blind. Montgomery Cole then moved all in for 160,000 in the big blind and only Alcindor called.
Montgomery Cole: A♥6♥
Christopher Alcindor: K♣Q♥
"I'll take that," Cole said after both players turned over their cards. He remained ahead as the board came J♠9♦7♣2♥, but Alcindor hit the Q♣ on the river to win the pot and send Cole to the rail.
"Nice hand, buddy. Every time. It was nice playing with all of you," a still-smiling Cole told his tablemates as he wrapped an arm around Alcindor's shoulders and gave him a pat on the back before making his exit.
Meerwais Hussaini opened to 25,000 on the button and Mario Diaz Quilez shoved all in for 85,000 in the small blind. Hussaini quickly called and the cards were on their backs.
Mario Diaz Quilez: Q♥J♥
Meerwais Hussaini: A♣J♠
The flop came A♥K♣9♦ and Hussaini maintained a dominating lead over Diaz Quilez. The 3♥ on the turn made things sweaty but Diaz Quilez could not connect on the 2♣ river.
Christopher Park shoved for 147,000 from the cutoff and Alex Lynskey called with a covering stack from the big blind to put him at risk.
Christopher Park: A♦4♦
Alex Lynskey: A♠J♦
Park was in rough shape with a dominated ace on the 10♣8♦5♠ flop but picked up a gutshot and the nut-flush draw on the 2♦ turn. The K♣ river was a brick and Park exited the tournament area while Lynskey added more chips to his stack.
Hans Bosman opened to 26,000 under the gun, and Tolga Demirel three-bet to 80,000 on his direct left. On the button, Rui Nogueira put in a four-bet to 280,000.
Demirel went deep into the tank, and with the clock eventually called, he five-bet shoved for 435,000. Nogueira, facing a tough decision with a pay jump in play and just 90,000 behind, stalled briefly before making the call.
Rui Nogueira: Q♣Q♦
Tolga Demirel: K♠K♦
The board ran out 10♣J♥J♦9♦4♠, and Nogueira was eliminated.
Asher Conniff raised to 30,000 on the button and Gevork Ketendjian moved all in out of the big blind for around 70,000. Conniff immediately called.
Gevork Ketendjian: A♠5♦
Asher Conniff: A♥3♥
A chop looked like the most likely outcome as both players held small aces. However, the dealer produced a runout of 3♦9♣Q♦J♦6♣ to give Conniff the best hand with a pair of treys on the flop. The pot was sent to Conniff, and Ketendjian was out.
Damon Fine raised to 24,000 in early position before Agustin Naranja three-bet to 75,000 in the cutoff. Fine then four-bet to 180,000, Naranja moved all in for 320,000, and Fine snap-called.
Agustin Naranja: A♥K♠
Damon Fine: A♣A♦
Fine had woken up with aces to leave Naranja at risk of elimination, but the K♦4♦10♥ flop gave Naranja some outs with a pair. The turn was the 4♥, while no miracles arrived for Naranja on the 10♦ river and he was sent to the rail.
At the same table, Ruben Correia has built up a stack of more than 3,000,000.
Ronald Ong kicked things off with an under-the-gun raise to 24,000. As action folded to David Jackson in middle position, he bumped it up to 80,000, and Ong made the call.
On the 6♠2♠3♣ flop, Ong checked, and Jackson continued for 135,000, which prompted Ong to go all in. Though it put him at risk, Jackson snap-called.
David Jackson: A♦K♠
Ronald Ong: Q♠J♠
Ong was chasing the flush, whilst Jackson had ace high for a possible double-up. The 10♦ on the turn didn't change anything, but the 9♠ river gave Ong the flush and sent Jackson packing.
