Chad Bleznick moved all in for 230,000 on the button and Viktor Blom called in the small blind.
Chad Bleznick: A♣7♦ 
Viktor Blom: A♥2♥
Bleznick had Blom dominated until the flop brought J♣5♥2♠, giving Blom the lead with a pair of deuces. The rest of the board ran out J♦6♥ and Bleznick was sent to the rail.
Heads-up to the 8♠6♦2♣ flop, Francis Rusnak checked out of the big blind and Denis Strebkov bet 40,000. The check-shove of Rusnak for 245,000 followed, and Strebkov called after brief consideration.
Francis Rusnak: 10♣7♠
Denis Strebkov: J♥6♥
Rusnak was behind but had two overcards and a gutshot at his disposal. The 8♥ turn changed nothing, and neither did the K♥ river, sending Rusnak to the payout desk.
On the heads-up turn of J♥10♠3♦A♠, Simon Levy checked and then faced a bet of 350,000 by Scott Margereson. He opted to shove, and Margereson instantly folded.

Dmitrii Perfilev opened to 50,000 from the cutoff and Richard Pyne shoved 210,000 on the button. When it got back to Perfilev, he called.
Richard Pyne: 8♠8♥
Dmitrii Perfilev: A♥A♦
Pyne was looking for a snowman to keep his Main Event dream alive, but they were all but melted away when the 2♠2♥A♣ flop hit the table. A 10♣ on the turn left him drawing dead, with the 3♠ filling out the board.
Players are now on a 20-minute break. There are a total of 464 players left in contention. Blinds will resume at 10,000/25,000.
Below are some highlights from Level 20.
With around 250,000 in the pot on a flop of 5♥3♣7♥, Amadeus Janotta bet 100,000 from middle position, and Eddie Blumenthal moved all in for 550,000 under the gun. Janotta snapped.
Eddie Blumenthal: 10♣10♥
Amadeus Janotta: Q♣Q♠
Both players had an overpair, but Janotta was best with his queens, and Blumenthal couldn't find any miracles on the 2♣ turn or 6♥ river as he was sent to the rail.
Heads-up on a board of 9♠5♣6♣Q♠ and around 300,000 in the pot, Scott Margereson bet 225,000 from the hijack and Seunghyun Nam moved all in for 850,000 in middle position. Margereson snap-called.
Nam had J♣10♣ for straight and flush draws, while Margereson showed 5♥5♦ for a set. The river was the 3♦ and Nam missed everything as Margereson scooped in his chips.
Fabian Rolli got his last 400,000 or so into the middle preflop from the button, with Mounir Tajiou being the player trying to bust him from an early position.
Fabian Rolli: K♠10♠
Mounir Tajiou: A♦A♥
Rolli looked poised to head to the cashier's desk as he was up against the best starting hand in the game. The board ran out 9♦A♠10♦8♣10♣, which may have given Rolli trips, but that was second best to the full house of Tajiou.
Pedro Padilha opened to 40,000 in middle position and Igor Holdaiy called in the small blind. Jorge Ribeiro shoved all in for his last 90,000 in the big blind which opened the door for Padilha to reshove all in. Holdaiy deliberated for a minute but decided to lay his hand down.
Jorge Ribeiro: 8♠6♣
Pedro Padilha: A♥10♥
The flop came J♦7♠6♥ and Ribeiro picked up the lone pair to take the lead. The 2♣ on the turn changed nothing but the A♠ on the river gave Padilha the better pair to eliminate his countryman.
