Yuchen Chen made it 50,000 to go in late position with A♣J♦. Stephen Hesse defended 6♦4♦ in his big blind, and the two saw a flop of Q♦9♥2♦. Chen continued for 95,000, and Hesse called.
The J♣ turn checked through to the J♠ river, where Hesse led out for 250,000. Chen raised to 600,000, which spelled the end of the hand as Hesse mucked his bricked draw.
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.
Brad Owen limped in from the small blind and Esther Taylor raised to 100,000 from the big blind. Owen shoved for 560,000 and Taylor called with a covering stack to put him at risk.
Brad Owen: A♠7♥
Esther Taylor: K♣J♣
Owen was ahead with a pair of sevens against king-high on the 7♦5♦8♦ flop. The 4♦ turn brought in some chop outs but the 5♠ river was a brick and Owen doubled up at Taylor's expense.
After an apparent preflop mistake from Jesse Simon, he and Arie Kliper had created a pot of 375,000 going to the 9♣7♣5♠ flop. Simon then pushed all in for 230,000, which Kliper quickly called.
Jesse Simon: 9♥7♦
Arie Kliper: A♥Q♥
Kliper was drawing to a chop after the 6♦ turn, but the J♠ river changed nothing. Simon apologized a few times for putting too many chips in preflop as he dragged the pot and doubled up.
Will Kassouf and Chih Fan had gone to the river with the board showing 4♣8♥K♦5♦3♦. Kassouf then bet 100,000 from the big blind and Fan raised to 450,000 in early position.
Kassouf took a minute before Sam Jakubowicz called the clock, a decision that Kassouf vehemently disagreed with. "He called the clock after one minute. If if was five minutes, fine," Kassouf protested.
"You can't cry wolf," tablemate Steven Snyder added.
"Did you hear his new nickname? He's Will 'the Human Rain Delay' Kassouf," Anthony Ruberto said.
Kassouf continued to argue that he hadn't been given enough time. "I have a decision here. You can look at my hand," he said to the tournament official who arrived at the table to begin his 30-second countdown.
"It's nuts or nothing," Kassouf eventually said as he flashed the K♠ and mucked. The floor then alerted Kassouf that his timer would be shortened if he continues to stall.
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.

Jeremy Kottler raised to 50,000 in the cutoff and Miltiadis Kyriakides shoved all in for 480,000 in the small blind. Kottler didn't take much time to call and the cards were face up.
Miltiadis Kyriakides: A♣4♠
Jeremy Kottler: K♣Q♥
The flop came 8♦4♦2♠ and Kyriakides improved to a pair of fours to hold his lead. The J♦ and 9♦ runout changed nothing and Kyriakides held on for a double up through the big stack of Kottler.
Leon Sturm raised to 50,000 in middle position and Fraser MacIntyre three-bet in the hijack. Sturm called.
Sturm checked on the flop of 7♣6♣4♦ and MacIntyre continued for 80,000. Sturm check-raised to 190,000 and MacIntyre called.
Sturm then moved all in for around 400,000 on the K♠ turn and MacIntyre called.
Leon Sturm: 7♥6♥
Fraser MacIntyre: 10♦10♠
Sturm was ahead with two pair and nothing changed on the J♥ river to earn the German prodigy a double.
Jason Cooper got his stack of 315,000 in from the cutoff and was at risk against Alexandro Tricarico in the small blind.
Jason Cooper: A♠A♣
Alexandro Tricarico: K♦K♣
"That's gonna be tough," Tricarico noted as he filmed the 5♠5♥A♦ flop make Cooper a full house. Tricarico was drawing dead after the Q♥ turn, and Cooper raked in his double-up on the 7♥ river.
