Theo Tran kicked things off with an early-position raise to 850,000, which Daniel Iachan in the cutoff called. Jarod Minghini three-bet to 2,500,000, prompting Tran to fold, but Iachan called to see a flop.
Iachan checked the 6♦A♣3♦ flop, and Minghini continued for 1,750,000, but Iachan wasn't interested anymore and his cards found the muck.
Minghini added more to his stack as he also collected a few blinds in the last few hands.

Muhamet Perati opened to 800,000 from under the gun and Ruben Correia three-bet to 1,800,000 on his left. The action folded back to Perati who called to see a flop of 6♥6♣5♣.
Perati checked to Correia who continued with a bet of 1,500,000 and Perati called. The turn was the A♥ and both players checked to the 5♠ on the river. Perati led out with a bet of 3,500,000 and Correia snapped him off. Perati turned over A♠Q♥ and Correia was not happy about it.
"You're so f***ing bad," Correia said as he mucked his cards.
"Shut the f*** up," Perati replied.
"I can say whatever I want," Correia continued.
Eric Afriat then chimed in and tried to defuse the situation before it got too out of hand.

The A♣ fell on the river and Hallaert bet 5,600,000. Schulze tanked for several minutes before folding A♦Q♣, while Hallaert took the pot with Q♠J♥ for just queen-high.

Richard Freitas made it 800,000 to go from the button with the A♥K♣ and Sergio Veloso was curious enough to defend the big blind with his K♠6♣. The A♦A♠5♣ flop saw Veloso check-call for 500,000 and check again the 7♣ turn. Freitas upped his betting to 1,100,000 and that won the pot right there.
Chris Dombrowski then raised to 825,000 with 9♠9♦ and he called a three-bet to 2,000,000 by Luka Bojovic, who had the A♥8♥. The 5♠4♥3♥ flop saw Dombrowski check and Bojovic continued for 2,500,000 with his gutshot wheel draw and ace-high flush draw. After going deep into the tank, Dombrowski folded his overpair.

Joseph Ozimok opened the action with a raise to 800,000 from middle position and Braxton Dunaway called in the cutoff. Muhamet Perati called on the button, and Eric Afriat called out of the big blind.
The quartet saw a flop of Q♣6♥7♣ hit the felt, which checked to Dunaway, who bet 1,400,000. Perati called, Afriat called, and Padron got out of the way.
All three checked the 5♠ turn to the 6♦ river, where Afriat led out for 2,500,000. Dunaway folded, but then Perati put in a big raise 9,200,000. Afriat didn't like what he saw and had around 10,000,000 in his stack, which meant the decision was for the bulk of it. After doing some inventory, Afriat called.
Perati then showed a full house with 7♥7♠, and Afriat thumped the table with his fist and mucked.

Daniel Iachan opened the action with a raise to 800,000 from early position, and Kohei Arai responded by moving all in from the hijack for 4,975,000 with A♥8♥. Theo Tran reshoved over the top for 6,900,000 holding A♦K♥, putting Arai at risk. Iachan got out of the way, and the cards went on their backs.
The board ran out 8♣2♦5♠3♥5♣, pairing Arai’s eight on the flop and holding through to the river. Tran, despite having the better hand preflop, was left with just crumbs as Arai secured a much-needed double to stay alive in the tournament.

Richard Freitas raised to 800,000 with the A♣J♣ and Sergio Veloso three-bet to 2,400,000 with the Q♥J♥ in the hijack for the initial raiser to call. After the 9♦4♣3♣ flop, Freitas check-called for 1,400,000 and did so again for 2,500,000 on the K♥ turn.
That led them to the 7♠ river on which Freitas checked once more. Veloso pushed all-in for his last 8,400,000 and managed to force out Freitas with the better hand after both players had missed their draws.
