Raffaele Sorrentino opened to 160,000 in the cutoff and Charles Lee three-bet to 480,000 in the small blind. Sorrentino responded by four-bet jamming a stack of around 2,000,000 and Lee quickly called with more.
Raffaele Sorrentino: A♠J♣ 
Charles Lee: A♥K♠
Sorrentino was pipped and couldn't hit a jack as the board ran out 2♥8♥8♦5♦4♥ to mark his elimination.
Ruben Correia raised to 160,000 in early position and Jarod Minghini called in the cutoff.
The flop came 3♦3♠4♣ and Correia bet 125,000. Minghini called to the 3♣ turn, where Correia bet another 250,000. Minghini again called.
Both players checked the Q♥ river and Minghini showed 7♠7♣. Correia mucked A♥J♣.
Micah Raskin opened to 160,000 from the hijack before Alen Tenorio made it 455,000 from the button. Raskin called.
The 7♦6♦3♥ flop checked through to the 8♦ turn, where Raskin shoved for 755,000. Tenorio asked for a count, and after some more thinking time, he called.
Micah Raskin: 9♣7♣
Alen Tenorio: A♥Q♦
Raskin's pair of sevens was in the lead, but Tenorio had a flush draw to go with his overcards.
The dealer completed the board with the Q♥ to give Tenorio the checkmark, whilst confirming Raskin's exit.
Matija Kajtez made it 160,000 to go from under the gun with Michael Mizrachi calling on the button, and Gonzalo Jose defending his big blind.
After a check on the A♥4♣4♥ flop, Kajtez bet 200,000, which only Mizrachi called.
Kajtez fired again upon seeing the K♣ turn, this time for 250,000. Again, Mizrachi called.
After a long tank, Kajtez checked the 9♥ river, and Mizrachi checked behind. Kajtez showed Q♣J♣ for queen-high and lost the pot to Mizrachi's A♦3♦ for a pair of aces.
Mizrachi said to Kajtez, "One more bet you win", as he stacked up his chips.
Esther Taylor moved in her last 900,000 from the button and Bradley Jansen snap-called in the big blind.
Esther Taylor: 10♠10♣
Bradley Jansen: A♣Q♣
Chih Fan gave Taylor his blue cartoon figurine holding a leaf as a souvenir as she awaited the flip that would decide her tournament life. The flop came A♦5♥3♥ and Jansen took the lead with a pair of aces. The rest of the board ran out K♠J♣ and Taylor went around the table giving each of her opponents a hug before making her exit.
Taylor's elimination means Leo Margets is the last woman remaining in the field.
Vladimir Nex opened from middle position and Seungmook Jung shoved from the cutoff for 1,055,000. When it got back to Nex, he called.
Seungmook Jung: A♣Q♠
Vladimir Nex: K♥K♣
Jung was way behind the cowboys of Nex and needed to find some help to stay alive. Unfortunately for Jung, no help arrived on the [td6ddts7s7h] runout, and he was sent to the rail.
In a heads-up pot on a board of 7♠Q♣Q♠, Alen Tenorio checked in the big blind and William Camp bet 160,000 in early position.
