Fahredin Mustafov opened to 800,000 under the gun, which was met by a three-bet all in by Matthew Wantman, roughly 3,700,000. Mustafov made the call to put Wantman at risk.
Matthew Wantman: A♣J♠ 
Fahredin Mustafov: 6♥6♦
The board ran out clean for Mustafov, coming down 10♦3♥7♣3♦Q♦, sending Wantman to the exit in 8th place.
Fahredin Mustafov opened the cutoff to 800,000 before Sam Soverel jammed for 3,675,000 from the big blind and Mustafov snapped it off.
Sam Soverel: J♥J♦
Fahredin Mustafov: Q♦Q♣
Soverel was in rough shape against the dominating pair of Mustafov as the K♥7♦6♣ flop offered no help to either opponent. The board ran out K♣10♠ as Mustafov's queens held on to eliminate Soverel as the first casualty of the final table.

Sergio Aido raised to 600,000 in early position, which was met by a three-bet all-in from Sam Soverel. The total amount was 1,400,000, and Aido made a quick call to put Soverel at risk.
Sam Soverel: 7♠7♦
Sergio Aido: A♠8♥
The flop Q♥3♠3♦ kept Soverel in the lead, and the 7♥ turn confirmed his double-up.
The inconsequential 2♦ was added to the board, and Aido paid Soverel his dues.
Vinny Lingham opened to 600,000 from early position and Sergio Aido flatted from the small blind.
On the monotone 8♦7♦2♦ flop, Aido checked in flow to Lingham who bet 750,000. Aido responded with a check-raise to 2,000,000, and Lingham folded after a small tank as Aido extends his chip lead.
Khoi Le Nguyen got the action going with a raise to 600,000 in early position. Only Martin Zamani called, doing so from the cutoff.
Nguyen continued with a bet of 700,000 on the 8♣Q♠J♥ flop, and again, Zamani called.
The turn added the K♥ to the board, and an unrelenting Nguyen placed a more substantial bet of 2,000,000. This was enough to see Zamani cede, and Nguyen took the pot.
Play has been quite slow since the return from dinner, with just two flops seen in the first 11 hands of play, with many small pots going in the direction of Martin Zamani.
Khoi Le Nguyen opened the hijack to 600,000 and Zamani flatted in the small blind after a long tank.
On the A♣10♠9♠ flop, Zamani checked to Nguyen who continued for 900,000 and Zamani called.
Zamani checked once again on the 3♣ turn before Nguyen announced a bet of 2,500,000, and Zamani snap-folded.
The remaining nine players have returned from the break, and play has resumed.

In poker, like in life, they say records are meant to be broken.
But sometimes, someone sets a milestone that just feels impossible to top. Whether it’s because of insane skill, perfect timing, a bit of luck, or a mix of all three, the World Series of Poker has seen some feats over the years that seem like they’ll never be matched.
However, while all records may eventually fall, these achievements are currently some of the most jaw-dropping in WSOP history. Will any of them ever be broken? Only time will tell. For now, though, here are the most incredible WSOP records that will (probably) never be broken.
