Qiang Xu raised to 40,000 in early position. Alex Foxen was in the cutoff and three-bet to 105,000. Xu just called off of his short stack.
Xu then pushed his last 125,000 over the line on the 5♥3♦2♦ flop, and Foxen quickly looked him up.
Qiang Xu: Q♦J♦ 
Alex Foxen: A♥K♦
Foxen's ace-high remained ahead on the 7♠ turn, but Xu rivered the winner when the Q♣ river gave him a pair.
DJ Sharma opened from the hijack and was called by Stephen Chidwick in the big blind.
Chidwick check-called a 60,000 bet from Sharma on the 4♦9♥K♥ flop and then both players checked on the 5♥ turn.
The 8♦ completed the board and Chidwick led out for 150,000. Sharma went deep into the tank before eventually tossing in a call. Chidwick turned over 5♦4♠ for two pair and Sharma sent his cards into the middle.
Jorge Rodriguez Llorens raised to 40,000 under the gun. Farid Jattin then three-bet to 175,000 in the cutoff, which Callum Roque reraised to 425,000 on the button.
Rodriguez spent a long time in the tank, eventually getting the clock called on him. Near the end of his countdown, he moved all in for 440,000. Jattin called, and so did Roque.
Jattin and Roque both checked the J♦6♠J♠ flop. Jattin also checked the Q♥ turn. Roque fired a bet of 450,000, receiving a quick fold for his efforts.
Jorge Rodriguez Llorens: A♦K♦
Callum Roque: Q♠Q♣
Llorens was drawing dead against Roque's full house, and he said his goodbyes as the meaningless 10♦ river rolled off.
Matthew Lambrecht raised to 40,000 in the cutoff, which both Paul Vang and Skyler Dennis called in the small and big blinds.
On a 8♠4♠2♥ flop, the action checked to Lambrecht, who continued for 60,000. Vang called, but Dennis check-raised all in for 525,000. Lambrecht folded straight away, but Vang was a little more interested. After a minute or so, he ultimately folded, seeing Dennis earn the pot.
Justin Manjares in the small blind and Gabriel Ado on the button got all their chips in the middle before the flop, Ado having Manjares' remaining 720,000 covered.
Justin Manjares: J♠J♣
Gabriel Ado: A♠A♣
Ado had Manjares crushed with his aces and was poised for the knockout until the flop brought 10♠J♦4♣ to give Manjares top set. The rest of the board ran out 2♥K♥, and Manjares doubled up.
"I've only had aces twice, and they lost both times. It's okay, brother, you're still alive. You couldn't do anything different," tablemate Brian Wood consoled Ado, who paced around the table with his hands atop his head as the pot was pushed to Manjares.
Nicholas Hobbs raised to 40,000 in early position to see Marcel Luske in the cutoff, Patrick Crivell in the small blind, and Thomas Cullis in the big blind all call.
The flop rolled out J♠7♦3♥, and Crivell checked to see Cullis bet 45,000. Hobbs pitched his hand while Luske raised to 450,000 to see both Crivell and Cullis call.
On the turn 8♥, action checked around to Luske, who moved all in for 480,000, and Crivell thought for ninety seconds before tossing his hand away.
Cullis folded quickly after that, and the 10th-place finisher of the 2004 WSOP Main Event took down the pot.
Noah Bronstein open-jammed for his last 200,000 from early position, and action folded to Refaat Mostafa on the button, who asked: "How much?"
Bronstein replied, "Two hundred flat!"
Mostafa made the call, putting Bronstein at risk, and the pair went to showdown.
Noah Bronstein: Q♦Q♣
Refaat Mostafa: 4♦4♣
Bronstein was ahead when the cards were flipped, and he held on the 5♣A♦A♠J♦K♦ runout with very little sweat. After the hand, Mostafa discussed how he had, "Made it this far with pocket fours...but now I stop playing them, I think."
With the full board reading 10♥7♥Q♠6♠5♦, Joey Weissman bet 175,000 from early position and was quickly called by Loai Elayday in the cutoff.
Weissman tabled A♥Q♦ for a pair of queens, which was enough to earn him the pot.
Sachin Joshi and Jason Dewitt went to a flop of 4♦7♥Q♣ when Joshi bet 140,000 from the big blind. Dewitt then raised to 350,000 in middle position, and Joshi moved all in.
Dewitt, with around 550,000 remaining, tanked for several minutes until another tablemate eventually called the clock. Dewitt allowed his countdown to nearly reach zero before he tossed his cards away.
Joshua Rothberg raised to 40,000 from middle position and Dominick Sarle jammed for 295,000 from the hijack. Rothberg made the call when the action got back to him.
Dominick Sarle: A♥Q♣
Joshua Rothberg: 10♠10♦
It was a flip that swung Sarle's way after he paired his queen on the Q♦9♥6♣ flop.
The 6♠ turn and 2♠ river offered Rothberg no help, and he was forced to send around half of his stack to Sarle.
