In a massive pot of 1,200,000, Kohei Arai and Yulian Bogdanov were heads up on a flop of 8♥8♠4♣. Arai fired a bet of 240,000 from early position, which Bogdanov called on the button.
The K♦ turn saw Arai size up slightly to 300,000. Bogdanov spent some time in thought, but he eventually mucked his cards to forfeit the pot to Arai.
Andreas Christoforou opened to 40,000 from under the gun and Murilo Milhomem three-bet to 125,000 from early position. Asher Conniff was in the small blind and ripped in his stack of around 1,600,000, which got Christoforou to fold. Milhomem had 360,000 total and took just a few seconds before he put them all at risk.
Murilo Milhomem: 9♦9♣ 
Asher Conniff: A♠A♦
Conniff had the rockets and was looking to shoot down Milhomem's Main Event. However, it was Milhomem's pot to lose after he made a set on the 7♦9♥Q♣ flop to take the lead.
Conniff needed an ace to drag the pot, but none could be seen on the 8♣4♦ runout, which meant Milhomem survived.
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.
Steven Snyder was on the button with a raise of 125,000 in front of him before Chih Fan reraised to 275,000 in early position. Snyder then put in 475,000 and Fan turned around to look at the tournament clock before moving all in for 985,000. Snyder snap-called.
Chih Fan: A♦K♥
Steven Snyder: A♣A♥
Around 2,000,000 was at stake as Fan found out the bad news when Snyder turned over his two aces. Fan was already standing up from his seat as the K♠9♠3♦ flop gave him a glimmer of hope with a pair, while the turn was the 2♦. Left with just two outs to stay alive, Fan found one on the K♦ river to make trips and earn the massive double up.
"Wow!" Fan yelled out as he stood statue-like in a state of shock with his mouth agape.
"That's PokerStars. Absolutely golden," tablemate Will Kassouf added. Snyder could only shake his head in frustration as he handed over the pot.
It had been a slow start in the Horseshoe Gold section withPokerNews witnessing six consecutive raise-folds.
Finally, there was action at Table 637 as Justin Pechie opened to 50,000 on the button and Raja Chirumamilla three-bet jammed a stack of 450,000 in the small blind. Sergio Veloso then shoved a stack of 1,565,000 from the big blind to put Pechie to a decision.
"There's no way," he said. "Sorry if I'm nitrolling you."
After hearing that, Veloso immediately called the clock, but the dealer told him enough time hadn't passed. Soon after, Pechie called off with a stack of around 1,200,000.
Raja Chirumamilla: 10♠10♣
Justin Pechie: A♥K♦
Sergio Veloso: 9♣9♦
Veloso took a huge lead as the flop landed 4♠9♥Q♦ to give him a set. He was far from gracious after the big suckout, clapping his hands and taking a lap as the board finished out A♠K♣ to earn him a double knockout.
He returned to the table and shook Pechie's hand, but Chirumamilla wasn't in the mood for niceties and headed to the payout counter.
The action folded to Shawn Fagan in the cutoff who ripped all in for around 300,000. Alan Sternberg called on the button and Jeff Gross stuck in the last of his 140,000 chips from the small blind.
Jeff Gross: A♣K♣
Shawn Fagan: Q♣J♥
Alan Sternberg: A♠8♠
The flop came 10♦9♣7♥ and Gross was still in the lead but his opponents had plenty of equity. The turn brought the K♦ to give Fagan the nut straight and both of his opponents were left drawing dead to the 7♣ on the river. Fagan earned nearly a triple up while Gross was sent to the rail early on Day 5.
Garry Gurevich, the youngest player who remained in the Main Event, moved all in for 345,000 from the hijack. It folded back to Sam Darkin, who quickly called in middle position.
Garry Gurevich: A♠Q♠
Sam Darkin: A♦K♦
Gurevich turned a flush draw on 4♦9♠2♥3♠, as well as some chop outs. His Main Event officially came to an end on the A♣ river, however, with his top pair being outkicked by the Big Slick of Darkin.
Min-Sung Lee made it 40,000 under the gun with Arsenii Karmatckii calling from middle position. Joseph Ozimok squeezed to 145,000 from the button, which only Karmatckii called.
Karmatckii checked first on the A♦5♥8♠ flop, allowing Ozimok to bet 100,000. After a few moments, Karmatckii called.
The 4♥ turn got another check from Karmatckii, and another bet by Ozimok, this time for 290,000. Karmatckii deliberated for quite some time before he chose to check-jam for Ozimok's remaining 1,550,000. Ozimok snap-folded, and Karmatckii moved up to over four million in chips.
Michael Mizrachi raised to 40,000 from late position and faced an all-in from Patrik Zidek two seats over for 410,000. Mizrachi called to put Zidek at risk.
Patrik Zidek: J♥J♣
Michael Mizrachi: 8♠8♥
Zidek held a significant lead with a pair of jacks against Mizrachi's eights, but the flop was ominous as it came 7♠10♣9♦ to give Mizrachi an open-ended straight draw.
The 6♣ was a disaster for Zidek, completing Mizrachi's straight, and he was down to just two outs headed to the river.
The A♥ river was not what Zidek needed to survive, and Mizrachi knocked him out of contention.
Michael Zulker shoved for 430,000 from the small blind and Stephen Hesse called from the big blind with a covering stack to put him at risk.
Michael Zulker: A♦9♠
Stephen Hesse: A♥A♣
The J♠A♠8♥ flop gave Zulker a backdoor flush draw, but he was drawing dead by the 10♦ turn, and after the 10♥ river fell, he was sent to the rail.
