Arsenii Karmatckii opened to 250,000 from the hijack and called when Jarod Minghini three-bet to 750,000 from the cutoff.
Karmatckii checked on the J♠8♥4♥ flop, and Minghini bet 400,000. Karmatckii made it 1,100,000 and Minghini called.
Karmatckii fired out another 2,400,000 on the 9♠ turn, and Minghini stuck around to the final betting round, where the A♠ completed the board.
Karmatckii announced all-in as the bigger stack. Minghini let out a small sigh before calling off his stack of 3,900,000.
Karmatckii tabled J♦J♣ for a set of jacks, but it was no good as Minghini had rivered a set of aces with his A♥A♦ to win the biggest pot of the tournament so far.

Chris Dombrowski: A♣K♦ 
Wagner Wysotchanski: K♥J♠
Both players had top pair, but Dombrowski was ahead with his ace-kicker. The rest of the board ran out Q♠10♠ and Dombrowski held on to earn the double up.

Albert Calderon made it 200,000 with 10♥10♣ from early position and Sebastian Schulze three-bet the button with Q♥Q♠ to 550,000. Calderon called when it got back to him.
They saw a flop of 7♥J♣4♦, where Calderon checked and Schulze threw out a bet of 350,000. Calderon stuck around to see the Q♣ on the turn, which gave Schulze top set. It checked around to the 3♥ river, where Calderon tapped the table and Schulze fired 1,100,000.
Calderon had around 1,900,000 remaining in his stack and after doing some inventory, he called. Schulze then flipped over his set, and Calderon's stack was left with just eight big blinds.

Chih Fan was issued a one-round penalty at Table 629 for being seen with a GTO chart at the table.
Fan argued his case and said he was merely watching a poker video, but the one-round penalty stood.
A few at the table were sympathetic to Fan, pondering what would happen if a friend texted them a chart or hand analysis and they happened to open it at the table.

Richard Buckingham raised it up to 200,000 from the hijack only to be three-bet by Hans Bosman on the button to 600,000. After the blinds folded, Buckingham ripped it, and Bosman called for his for 2,870,000 total.
Hans Bosman: J♠J♥
Richard Buckingham: A♥K♣
Buckingham had Big Slick against the two jacks of Bosman. The 8♦3♥4♦ flop was great for Bosman, and the 6♥ turn meant only an ace or king on the river would end Bosman's Main Event. The river was the 6♣ and Bosman earned the double-up through Buckingham.

Richard Green was already all in from middle position as Diego Ponce and Ihab Ali went to the turn on a board of 10♣6♦5♣5♦ with around 800,000 in the pot.
Ali then bet 200,000 from the big blind and Ponce called in the hijack. Both players then checked the 3♣ river and Ali showed Q♠6♠ for two pair.
"I looked at two picture cards," Green said as he revealed the J♣. He then slammed down the K♥ which was no help, and Ali scooped the pot to send Green to the rail.
