Santiago Plante started the action with a raise to 100,000 in middle position and Eduardo Mendoza shoved in the small blind for a stack around 400,000. Muhammad Rahim, in the big blind, also pushed with a similar stack and Plante made the call:
Eduardo Mendoza: Q♣Q♠
Muhammad Rahim: K♥J♦
Santiago Plante: A♦A♠
The board didn't bring any bad surprise for Plante with 2♠5♣J♥9♣4♣ and he scooped the pot to send Mendoza and Rahim out.

Jeffrey Thoney got it all in with a covering stack against two players, but was not the favourite in the hand. That title went to Yuan Lei, all in for 825,000, with Eric Kim the underdog, as well as the shortstack, with just 525,000.
Eric Kim: A♦J♠
Yuan Lei: 9♣9♥
Jeffrey Thoney: A♠K♥
The board was running out nice and low for Lei, as it read 5♦10♠2♠3♦ on the turn. However, Thoney let out a "Yes!" upon seeing the K♣ river, meaning he had scored a huge double knockout, as well as even further extending his chip lead.

Action was followed from the 3♣6♣10♣ flop. William Meyer check-folded the bet of 150,000 of Dinesh Singham in the hijack. Jael Lewis, on the button, decided to call.
The turn showed Q♦. Singham bet 200,000 and Lewis called. The dealer revealed the river 2♦.
Singham pushed all in with his remaining stack of 465,000. Lewis took a moment and decided to fold. All the chips moved towards Singham.

Srivatsa Shankam open-shoved for his last 500,000, holding A♦10♠, and Harry Lodge made the call next to him with a better hand, A♥Q♠.
Shankam was in bad shape for his tournament's life as the board first fell 8♦7♣3♣A♣, but a lucky 10♣ hit the river to give him two pair and the double up.

Action folded to Santiago Plante in the small blind, he jammed. Shai Zurr snapped it off for roughly 500,000 and was at risk with the slightly better hand.
Shai Zurr: A♦3♠
Santiago Plante: 10♥9♥
Plante was green on the 10♣10♠J♦ flop, the 3♦ turn locked it up, and the 3♣ river delivered Zurr a full house, just not the winning kind and he was sent to the payout desk.
