The remaining 234 players are on a 15-minute break.
Lander Lijo opened to 1,000 in middle position and Alex Foxen three-bet to 3,000 on his left. Cherish Andrews flat-called in the small blind and Lijo four-bet to 9,500. Both Foxen and Andrews called as they went three ways to a flop of 9♠6♥5♦.
Andrews checked and Lijo shipped all in for just over 21,000. Foxen quickly folded and Andrews snapped him off with the flick of a chip.
Lander Lijo: Q♠Q♥
Cherish Andrews: 9♥9♦
Andrews flopped a set of nines and had Lijo drawing to just two outs. The 6♦ and 4♠ runout changed nothing and Lijo was eliminated just before the break.
Action was picked up with Samuel Ju with his remaining 8,000 chips in the middle against Tolga Ural.
Samuel Ju: A♠10♠
Tolga Ural: A♥K♠
Ural dominated Ju's hand, and with no one hitting the board of 8♦J♥8♥8♠6♥, Ural eliminated Ju from the tournament.
Tolga Ural opened for 1,200 and got the blinds Kazuhiko Yotsushika in small and Seungmin Yu in the big to call.
The flop came 4♣3♠2♠. After the blind checked, Ural continued with 1,600 and got called by Yotsushika. Yu raised to 7,000 making Ural fold. Yotsushika called.
Yotsushika checked the turn 2♦. Yu fired 17,000 and Yotsushika picked up a whole stack of pink chips worth 50,000, forcing an immediate fold from Yu.
Jason Mann moved all in on the river with the board showing Q♥Q♠10♦4♠10♣.
James Nixon thought about it, but eventually made the call.
Mann tabled A♣Q♣ for queens full and the winning hand. Dixon showed J♠10♠ for tens full.
There were roughly 25,000 chips in the pot on A♣2♥7♣A♠9♠.
Nicholas Pupillo who was in the big blind bet 23,500, Jason Min in the small blind snap-called.
Pupillo tabled A♦J♣, but was disappointed when Min tabled A♥Q♥ as his kicker played, and Pupllio was down to less than a big blind.
Jason Wong, under the gun, started the action with a 1,200 raise and got called by Armin Rezaei in middle position. Yuya Arito shoved all-in for 11,200 and got called by small blind Felipe Boianovsky, pushing both Wong and Rezaei out of the pot.
Yuya Arito: 9♥9♣
Felipe Boianovsky: 10♣10♦
Boianovsky was ahead and remained in the lead on a board that ran J♣K♣K♦Q♥3♠. Arito's tournament run ended as Boianovsky scooped the pot.
Nazar Buhaiov raised to 1,100 in the cutoff and Robert Brobyn reraised to 3,500 in the small blind. Buhaiov called and the dealer fanned the flop of J♠6♥3♠. Brobyn led out with a bet of 2,500 and Buhaiov called.
The turn brought the Q♠ and both players checked to the 5♦ on the river. Brobyn jammed all in for 16,300 and Buhaiov went into the tank for nearly three minutes. He eventually decided to fold and Brobyn raked in the pot.
Anatoly Nikitin raised to 1,000 from under the gun. Casey Bogus in the small blind and Dinesh Alt in the big blind made the calls.
The flop hit 4♠7♠A♦. Nikitin made it 6,000 chips to continue and Bogus and Alt called.
The 10♠ came on the turn, and all three players checked. When the 6♣ rivered, Bogus placed a bet of 8,000 on the table.
Alt deleted his hand. Nikitin made the call.
Bogus showed Q♠6♠ for a queen-high flush to take down the pot.
