Masato Yokosawa was all in for 845,000 in the cutoff, up against Kyle Mart under the gun.
Masato Yokosawa: A♥Q♠ 
Kyle Mart: A♣K♦
Yokosawa was halfway out the door after the 6♣K♥9♥ flop paired up Mart. He found a runner-runner flush on the 5♥Q♥ runout, however, doubling up to stay alive in the Main Event.
Li Chengbei raised to 80,000 in the hijack and Arturas Astrauskas raised to 175,000 on the button to see action fold back to Chengbei. Chengbei moved all in for 710,000 and Astrauskas called.
Li Chengbei: A♠Q♣
Arturas Astrauskas: A♥J♣
The flop of K♣J♠10♥ gave Chengbei flopped Broadway against Astrauskas' pair of jacks, who almost celebrated before seeing his opponent flopped a straight. Astrauskas picked up some outs to win as he improved to three jacks on the J♥ turn.
"Yes!" screamed Astrauskas on the river 10♦ that gave him jacks full of tens to eliminate Chengbei from the tournament.
"Wow," table mate Greg Mueller reacted, "From flopping the joint to out."
"Lucky Corona!" replied Astrauskas as he raised his cup while the pot was pushed towards him.
Mario Boos raised to 80,000 from the button, and Lester Edoc three-bet to 280,000 from the big blind. Boos came back with a four-bet to 480,000, and after a brief tank, Edoc five-bet to 890,000.
The action paused as Boos looked over at Edoc, who sat almost motionless beneath an oversized black hoodie draped so low over his face that he resembled a Sith Lord.
The stare-down lasted a little while longer, but in the end Boos decided against venturing to the dark side, releasing his hand and sending the pot Edoc's way without a flop.
Lucas Bandeira raised to 80,000 from the hijack and was three-bet to 225,000 by Miguel Riera in the cutoff. Vladimir Belekhov then moved all in for 490,000 total from the big blind, which got a fold from Bandeira and a quick call from Riera to be put at risk.
Vladimir Belekhov: 10♥10♦
Miguel Riera: 9♥9♦
Belekhov had Riera's nines pipped with tens and the A♠7♦10♣7♣2♠ runout provided him a sweat-free runout for the double-up.
Starting the hand in early position, Mayank Madan manuvered his stack of roughly 1,500,000 in the middle preflop and was at risk of elimination versus Merle Sauvola on the button.
Mayank Madan: A♣K♦
Merle Sauvola: K♠K♥
The 10♦Q♣Q♥6♠Q♦ board only served to improve Sauvola to a full house, ending Madan's Main Event run.
Sam Snead raised to 150,000 in early position and Raul Reyna called in the hijack. Truong Nguyen then three-bet to 500,000 in the cutoff, and only Snead called.
"Chips fly at this table, Virginia. Better lock in," Will Givens said to Curtis Nare, who had only just arrived at the table. Nguyen and Snead then went to a flop of J♣6♠3♥, where Nguyen moved all in for 350,000.
"I feel I'm beat, but I can't fold now," Snead said as he called to put Nguyen at risk.
Truong Nguyen: K♥K♠
Sam Snead: 6♥6♣
"I thought he had jacks," Snead said after revealing his set of sixes. The 6♦ turn then improved him to quads, and the 4♥ river sealed Nguyen's elimination.
"You played so well," Givens said, standing up to give Nguyen a handshake before Nguyen made his exit.
Phillip Mighall opened to 80,000 from middle position and Erick Mossinger three-bet to 260,000 from the hijack. Mighall called, and the players saw the Q♠2♥3♠ flop.
Mighall check-called a 185,000 bet by Mossinger to see the 9♥ turn. Both checked to the 7♠ river and no more bets were made.
Mighall tabled his 8♥8♦ for a pair of eights which was enough to see Mossinger muck.
Big stack Espen Sandvik raised to 90,000 under the gun. It folded to Sean Winter in the big blind, who defended.
Sandvik continued for 125,000 on the 7♦Q♥9♥ flop. Winter check-raised to 350,000, and Sandvik called.
After the A♠ turn had checked through, Winter bet 240,000 on the 2♦ river. Sandvik gave it some thought, but ultimately surrendered his hand to the dealer.
