The cards were on their backs preflop and Henrik Hecklen had the best of it out of the small blind when he was all-in for 630,000 against Seiji Sasaki in the cutoff.
Henrik Hecklen: A♠K♥ 
Seiji Sasaki: A♥Q♦
The 6♥3♠3♣ flop kept Hecklen in the lead but he fell behind on the Q♣ turn, now needing one of the remaining three kings in the deck. Neither of them came on the 9♣ river and that spelled the end for the Danish poker pro.
Gianluca Cedolia raised from early position to 50,000 and was called by Daehyung Lee from the hijack and Michael Graffeo in the big blind.
Graffeo checked the 10♦4♥9♠ flop before Cedolia put out a bet of 55,000.
Lee wanted to play for more and raised to 150,000, which got a quick fold from Graffeo. Cedolia pondered for a moment, but decided on a fold to end the hand as Lee dragged in the pot.
Stephen Hesse raised to 60,000 in early position. Isaac Haxton called in the next seat over, and Yuchen Chen came along in the cutoff with 5♠5♥.
Joey Padron deemed his Q♦2♥ worthy of a call in the big blind, and the quartet saw a flop of 10♥2♣4♦. After Padron checked, Hesse continued for 80,000. Haxton called before Chen and Padron mucked their cards.
The 6♦ turn saw both remaining players check to the 9♣ river, where Hesse picked the aggression back up with a bet of 275,000.
Haxton quickly called, but his A♠10♠ disappeared into the muck when Hesse tabled 10♦9♦ for a rivered two pair.
[Removed:548] made it 50,000 under the gun with Michael Miravi and Henry Fewster calling in middle position. Maxim Panyak chose to defend his big blind, and they headed to the flop four ways.
After two checks on the 7♥2♦4♦ flop, Miravi bet 125,000, which only Fewster called from the next seat.
Heads-up now to the A♣ turn. Miravi jammed for Fewster's 405,000, and Fewster called at lightning speed.
Henry Fewster: 7♠7♦
Michael Miravi: A♥J♦
It made sense why Fewster called so quickly, since he held a set of sevens, and had Miravi drawing dead with top pair. An irrelevant K♠ dropped on the river, and Fewster moved up to just under 1,300,000.
Viktor Blom moved all in for 850,000 from the cutoff and Yulian Bogdanov put him at risk in early position.
Viktor Blom: 10♠10♣
Yulian Bogdanov: 5♦5♠
Blom's tens had Bogdanov's fives dominated, and the J♠3♥K♣3♦8♠ board proved no threat for Blom as the Swedish online legend earned the double up.
Daehyung Lee had raised under the gun but Gianluca Cedolia didn't see that when throwing in raising chips from the button. That would soon not matter anymore as Cedolia got it in against Romain Locquet out of the small blind for around 570,000 with Lee getting out of the way.
Gianluca Cedolia: J♥J♣
Romain Locquet: A♥K♥
The J♦10♠8♦ flop gave Cedolia top set but he fell behind on the Q♥ turn. Needing the board to pair, Cedolia bricked the 3♦ river and he was sent to the payout desk while Locquet notched up another elimination.
Yuchen Chen raised to 50,000 in the hijack, and Jeremy Kottler three-bet to 140,000 on the button. It folded back to Chen, who called to the 5♥J♠3♦ flop.
Kottler continued for 75,000, which Chen check-raised to 225,000. Kottler tossed in a quick call, and the A♦ hit the turn.
Chen reverted to a check, seeing Kottler retake the initiative with a bet of 250,000. Chen just called this time, and the J♣ river completed the board.
Chen checked again, after which Kottler quickly moved all in for an over-bet, covering Chen's 1,630,000 remaining chips. Chen spent minutes in the tank before he pushed in his stacks of chips for a call.
Kottler tabled K♦2♠ for a spicy bluff with king-high, while Chen doubled up with 5♠5♦ for fives full of jacks.
Brad Owen opened to 50,000 from early position and received calls from Thomas Eychenne in the hijack and Seun Oluwole in the cutoff.
The flop came A♥5♦10♥. Owen bet 140,000, Eychenne called and Oluwole folded 10♠9♠.
Owen shoved for 620,000 on the Q♦ turn and Eychenne called with a covering stack to put him at risk.
Brad Owen: K♥Q♥
Thomas Eychenne: A♦9♦
Owen had a pair of queens and royal flush draw while Eychenne was ahead with top pair and the nut-flush draw. Owen got up from his seat and put his backpack on as the 10♦ river brought in the nut-flush for Eychenne, ending Owen's Main Event run.
Chris Viox raised from early position to 50,000 with 9♥7♥ and Josselin Gardes called in the big blind with A♥8♥.
An action flop of 3♥K♥8♠ hit the table and Gardes checked. Viox then bet 25,000, which Gardes called.
When the 5♦ hit the turn, Gardes checked, Viox shoved, and Gardes called off his last 170,000.
Nothing changed on the 4♠ turn, and Gardes secured the double-up.
