Zachary Schwartz made it 400,000 to go from the cutoff and Fahredin Mustafov called from the button. Richard Gryko potted it to 1,680,000 from the big blind.
Gryko decided to check when the dealer fanned out the flop of 7♦8♦8♣. Schwartz announced a bet of the pot, and this was enough to get Gryko to let go of his cards and forfeit the pot to Schwartz.

Players are now on a 15-minute break.
Richard Gryko opened up the action with a raise to 350,000 from the cutoff. Jeremy Ausmus made the call from the button, as did Joshua Ladines and Zachary Schwartz in the blinds. All four players checked on the 8♣J♠10♥ flop, bringing in the 7c turn.
Here, Gryko led out for 1,150,000 when checked to. Ausmus and Ladines paid to see a river, but Schwartz got out of the way. Gryko then announced "all in," for 3,370,000 following a check from Ladines. Asumus folded quickly, but Ladines took a little longer. Eventually, he let his cards go.
Zachary Schwartz made it 350,000 to go from the hijack, and Fahredin Mustafov potted it to 1,230,000 from the cutoff. After the button and blinds folded, Schwartz called.
When the flop came down 4♣10♦6♠, Mustafov got all of his stack of 4,470,000 into the middle, and Schwartz called to try and eliminate him.
Fahredin Mustafov: A♠A♣Q♣9♣ 
Zachary Schwartz: K♥K♦8♦5♥
Schwartz had kings and a gutshot against the aces of Mustafov. The Q♥ turn was good for Mustafov, and the 9♠ river gave him two pair, and cemented his double-up at the expense of Schwartz.
Richard Gryko opened up the betting with a raise to 325,000 from middle position. Joshua Ladines made the call from the cutoff, as did Zachary Schwartz on the button. Big blind Zarvan Tumboli then announced "pot," for a bet of 1,685,000. Gryko and Ladines both got out of the way, but Schwartz opted to call.
The flop came down 8♣8♠6♥ and Tumboli instantly shoved for the 1,500,000 he had behind. Schwartz snapped him off, as Tumboli asked if he had an eight.
Zarvan Tumboli: A♣K♣K♠7♦
Zachary Schwartz: J♣10♣9♠8♦
Tumboli's rail called for a king, then changed their cries to a club on the 3♣ turn, however the 10♦ river filled Schwartz up, sending Tumboli home early.
Joshua Ladines limped under the gun before Richard Gryko raised to 480,000 from the small blind. Jeremy Ausmus called from the big blind, but Ladines limp-raised the pot to 2,120,000. Gryko potted it back to 6,840,000, forcing Ausmus to fold. Ladines started with 5,075,000, and called to put himself at risk.
Joshua Ladines: A♠A♦4♣3♥
Richard Gryko: A♥A♣Q♦3♦
Both players had aces, and it seemed likely that the result would be a chop pot.
The dealer put out a flop of Q♠9♥4♠, giving both players a pair, and a chance to win the entire pot. The 10♥ turn didn't change anything, but the board-pairing 4♦ river improved Ladines to trips to win the pot, and take the chip lead from Gryko.
