Mikhail Zavoloka in middle position raised to 1,200,000 and Ian O'Hara defended from the big blind.
Zavoloka continued for 900,000 on the 10♦10♣5♥ flop, but O'Hara check-raised to 2,200,000. Zavoloka made the call.
On the 4♣ turn, Zavoloka asked for 4,000,000, but it was too much for O'Hara, who folded.

Ian O'Hara raised in middle position and Eshaan Bhalla pushed next to him for a stack worth around 5,500,000. It came back to O'Hara who quickly called:
Eshaan Bhalla: Q♠J♠
Ian O'Hara: 8♣8♦
O'Hara's pair of eights improved into a full house with the 2♥8♥Q♣2♠A♣ ranout and Bhalla was eliminated from the event.

Ankit Ahuja opened to 6,200,000 from middle position, keeping only 400,000 behind. Maximiliano Castagnini in the hijack raised all-in with a bigger stack, and Ahuja called.
Ankit Ahuja: A♠Q♣
Maximiliano Castagnini: A♥K♠
Ahuja ran into ace-king and didn't hit the queen he needed on J♠10♦8♥7♠4♠ board, so he was eliminated.

Maximiliano Castagnini raised to 1,200,000 from under the gun, but Bahar Musa in the hijack three-bet to 3,600,000. Castagnini went into the tank and eventually made the call.
Musa continued for 2,200,00 on a flop of 4♠4♣9♥. Once again, it took a long moment for Castagnini to check-call.
After Castagnini checked the 9♣ turn, Musa bet 4,500,000 and managed to make Castagnini fold.

Ian O'Hara raised to 1,200,000 in the hijack and it folded to Mikhail Zavoloka in the small blind who decided to three-bet to 6,500,000. O'Hara shoved and Zavoloka called all in for a stack around 10,800,000 total.
Mikhail Zavoloka: Q♦Q♣
Ian O'Hara: A♠A♦
Zavoloka didn't find any miracle throughout the 7♥3♦9♠6♣9♣ board and exited the tournament's area to collect his payout.

Andrew Robinson in the cutoff opened to 5,000,000. Maximiliano Castagnini in the small blind raised all in, and Robinson called with the 950,000 he had left.
Andrew Robinson: A♠10♣
Maximiliano Castagnini: 8♠8♦
"Ocho," Castagnini's friends shouted, and they were heard as he hit a set on Q♦6♠8♥. But applauses were followed by a deep "ohhh" when Robinson hit a lucky straight with the J♦K♠ runout to double up.
