Hieu Le was in middle position with a raise of 60,000 in front of him before Craig Pollak moved all in for 337,000 on the button. Le called to put him at risk.

Craig Pollak: 7♣7♦ All in
Hieu Le: A♠K♣

Pollak remained in the lead with his sevens on the 2♥9♦10♣ flop, while the Q♦ turn gave Le a straight draw to go with his overcards. Le spiked the J♦ on the river to make his straight and send Pollak to the rail.

At the same time at another table, Christopher Demaci and Samuel Butters saw the turn on a board of 3♣J♥8♣9♥ with around 300,000 in the pot. Demaci then moved all in.

"You're a PLO player, right?" Butters asked as he went into the tank while considering the decision for his last 500,000.

While Butters was pondering making the call, Alex Bergfors told his tablemates how he wants to be remembered. "If that asteroid hits tomorrow, I want to be right here bluffing off my stack. And if the bluff gets through, I'll say let's go. A million years from now they'll discover a fossil and say, 'there is the guy who got the last bluff in at the 2025 World Series of Poker," Bergfors said.

Meanwhile, Butters eventually folded and Demaci took down the pot without a showdown.

Narongsak Dhanjaichon was down to just 90,000 chips and pushed all in from middle position. Javier Etayo flat-called in the hijack and Mauricio Salazar Sanchez reshoved all in from the big blind for around 360,000. Etayo gave it some thought but decided to send his cards into the muck.

Narongsak Dhanjaichon: J♠J♣All in
Mauricio Salazar Sanchez: A♥A♣

The flop came 10♦9♠3♦ and Salazar Sanchez was still holding strong with his pocket aces. The J♥ rolled off on the turn to give Dhanjaichon a set of jacks but it was the A♦ on the river that gave Salazar Sanchez a better set for the elimination.

With around 250,000 in the pot on a board of 5♣4♣3♦7♣, Humberto Lopes Galindo bet 120,000 from the button and Carlos Loving called in the big blind.

The river was the 10♠ and Lopes Galindo moved all in. Loving had around 300,000 remaining and took a few minutes before folding.

At the same time at another table, Damian Salas and Linglin Zeng had built a pot of around 300,000 as they went heads-up to the 6♣7♦3♥ flop. Salas then bet 50,000 from the hijack and Zeng called in middle position.

Salas bet another 90,000 on the J♠ turn, putting each chip in one at a time. Zeng played with her stack for a few minutes but eventually surrendered the pot to the 2020 Main Event champion.

Jon Kyte kicked off the action from the cutoff with a raise to 22,000 and got a call from Max Pinnola in the big blind.

On the 8♠8♣Q♦ flop, Pinnola check-raised Kyte’s 15,000 continuation bet to 42,000. Kyte called without much hesitation, taking them to the turn.

The 10♣ hit next, and this time Pinnola led out for 60,000. Kyte again made the call.

With the 4♣ on the river, Pinnola ramped up the pressure, firing 115,000 and leaving himself just 151,000 behind. Kyte responded by moving all in, putting Pinnola to the ultimate test for his tournament life.

Pinnola clearly didn’t love the spot. He sighed, stared down the board for a while, and after a couple of minutes slid his cards into the muck, surrendering the sizeable pot.

"Fold jack-nine?" Kyte asked with a grin, but Pinnola wasn’t in the mood to answer, still visibly frustrated as the chips went Kyte's way.

In the final hand before the break, arriving on a 10♥5♦8♥K♦ turn, Jeff Gross checked from the big blind to Sylwia Studniarz in early position. Studniarz bet 60,000, and Gross moved all in for 262,000.

Studniarz spent more than five minutes in the tank, during which she and Gross were almost constantly talking to each other. Eventually, Studniarz hinted she might have queen-jack for a straight draw.

"If you have queen-jack, do what you have to do," Gross said to her.

The clock was then called on Studniarz, and she called off during her countdown.

Jeff Gross: K♠10♦ All in
Sylwia Studniarz: Q♣J♦

Studniarz's straight draw missed on the 6♣ river, and Gross raked in a double-up with his two pair.

Marijan Rankic moved all in for around 130,000 from middle position and Daehyung Lee put him at risk in the big blind.

Marijan Rankic: A♦K♦ All in
Daehyung Lee: J♦J♣

Rankic was racking for his tournament life and took the lead on the 9♥K♥4♦ flop with top pair. The Q♥ turn left him a card away from a double up, but Lee spiked the J♥ on the river to make a set and send Rankic to the rail.
