In a preflop confrontation Yves Hallague was all in for 240,000 from the big blind and up against Jason Mann who covered him from early position.
Yves Hallague: 2♠2♣ 
Jason Mann: J♦J♣
Hallague was in trouble with a dominated pocket pair and found no help on the 8♠6♥5♦ flop or K♦ turn. The 2♦ river improved Hallague to a set and he doubled up through Mann who was left with under ten big blinds.
Eric Afriat opened to 90,000 in early position and Rohit Mariwalla three-bet jammed a stack of around 800,000 in the big blind. Afriat gave it some thought and folded.
Rohit Mariwalla: J♠J♥
Eric Afriat: Q♠Q♣
Mariwalla was pipped and couldn't improve as the board ran out A♣10♦8♣10♥Q♥ to improve Afriat to queens full as Mariwalla was sent to the rail.
Action folded to Damien Luis in the small blind who limped in. Greg Merson then raised to 160,000 in the big blind and Luis called.
The flop came A♦K♥3♥ and Merson bet 275,000. Luis called and the 9♣ fell on the turn.
Merson then bet 550,000 and Luis again called. The river was the 9♥ and Luis led out for 400,000.
Merson only took a few seconds before tossing A♣J♦ into the muck. Luis showed him A♥2♣ for the same two pair while taking in the pot.
"I knew if I thought about it for longer, I would've called. That's why I folded so quickly," Merson said.
Lautaro Guerra made the minimum raise to 80,000 with A♣Q♥ in the hijack. Benjamin Winsor then three-bet to 240,000 in the cutoff with Q♦J♣, and Mark Shutley cold-called in the small blind with A♠J♠.
With so much to pick up in the pot, Guerra pumped in a four-bet jam for 2,995,000. Winsor quickly let go of his cards, and Shutley wasted no time in following suit as Guerra won the pot without the need for a flop.
The chips went in preflop with Luka Bojovic all-in and at risk for 955,000 from under the gun - a whopping 24 big blinds. He was looked up by Rafael Stern two seats over while the rest of the table got out of the way.
Luka Bojovic: A♦5♦
Rafael Stern: A♠K♣
The 10♦5♣4♥ flop gave Bojovic a pair of fives and the 8♦ turn added the flush draw on top, taking away one out from Stern. He then even got the cherry on top with the 5♠ river for trips fives to secure the double-up.
Leonardo Valenzuela was all-in for around 365,000 on a flop of 4♣A♥4♥, with Yuhang Chen being the player trying to end his Main Event journey.
Leonardo Valenzuela: K♥9♥
Yuhang Chen: A♣9♣
Chen had top pair against the flush draw of Valenzuela. Valenzuela received instant service on the J♥ turn, improving to a flush and just needed to avoid a four or ace on the river to double. A clean 3♦ dropped and Valenzuela earned the much-needed double-up.
Over 350,000 was in the middle when this hand was picked up on a completed board that read K♥J♠8♣10♦10♥.
Guy Holtzman slipped it over to Kaiwen Chen, who bet 300,000 on the river.
Holtzman opted to check-raise all in for a total of 1,090,000, which sent Chen into the tank.
Chen took a decent amount of time as he mulled over his decision. Chen confirmed the count and eventually decided on a call.
Holztman revealed that the turn and river were favorable to him as he showed K♠10♠ for a full house.
A disappointed Chen revealed he also hit the turn and river in a significant, but ultimately lesser way, as he showed Q♣10♣ for trip tens.
Mark Shutley raised his button to 85,000. Sejo Kasic called in the small blind before Tony Gregg piled in 360,000 chips in the big blind.
Shutley moved out of the way with A♠6♥, but Kasic wanted to see a flop and called. Kasic check-called Gregg's bet of 150,000 on the 6♠K♥A♦ flop, and did so too when Gregg sized up to 350,000 on the 5♥ turn.
The 9♣ river was quickly checked to showdown, where Kasic's A♣7♣ outkicked Gregg's A♥2♠ to win the sizable pot.
Will Kassouf picked up K♥K♦ in early position and Matija Kajtez called in the big blind with A♥8♠.
The flop came 4♥2♥K♣ and Kajtez checked it over to Kassouf, who bet 100,000. Kajtez dropped in the call to see the 9♦ on the turn and checked it over to Kassouf, who took some time before he bet 300,000. Kajtez quickly folded, and Kassouf flashed one of his kings to the table.
Shortly after, Kassouf was involved again when he raised to 110,000 with 7♣6♣ from under the gun and Vinh Nguyen three-bet K♥Q♣ a few seats over. When it got back to Kassouf, he called.
Both caught a piece on the 4♣6♠K♦ flop and checked it to the river on the J♦6♦ runout, which gave Kassouf trips. Kassouf bet 260,000 and Nguyen quickly called, then mucked once he saw the bad news.
Michael Parisi bet 125,000 from middle position on a flop of A♥7♥9♠ and Chad Power called on the button. Martin Gerloff then raised to 400,000 in the big blind.
Parisi came back with a reraise to 1,000,000 and Power quickly folded. Gerloff, though, tanked for several minutes before tossing 9♥7♠ into the muck as Parisi took the pot without showing.
