Joshua Abady in the small blind was all-in and at risk for 630,000 against Arash Vaziri in the big blind.
Joshua Abady: K♠5♦ 
Arash Vaziri: A♣9♦
The board ran out 3♣9♣Q♥9♥4♠ and kept Vaziri ahead with trips, leading to Abady's elimination.
Allan Sannier in middle position raised to 175,000, but Malcolm Trayner in the small blind three-bet to 750,000. Sannier four-bet to 1,400,000; Trayner five-bet all-in for 5,525,000, and Sannier called.
Malcolm Trayner: A♠5♠
Allan Sannier: J♦J♥
Trayner managed to hit two pair on a board of 7♠A♦10♣Q♣7♥ to secure a big double-up.
Erick Mossinger in the hijack saw his 1,755,000-chip stack being called by Mario Boos in the big blind.
Erick Mossinger: 8♣8♠
Mario Boos: A♠A♣
Mossinger didn't find the eight he needed on 10♠Q♥3♦J♣A♥ and he was eliminated.
Heads-up on a flop of 3♣8♣3♥, Virgile Turchi bet 110,000 from the cutoff and Zhao Liu called in the big blind.
The turn was the J♦ and Turchi bet 475,000. Liu then raised to 1,150,000, and Turchi called.
Liu checked the Q♣ river, and Turchi bet 1,100,000, leaving himself 40,000 behind. Liu sighed as he picked up the chips to call and splashed them in the middle.
Turchi turned over A♣5♣ for a rivered flush, and Liu mucked.
At the same time at another table, Edouard Sacrispeyre moved all in for 995,000 from the hijack and was up against David Urban in middle position.
Edouard Sacrispeyre: K♦K♠
David Urban: 9♦9♠
The 8♠A♠5♠10♠Q♦ board ended up giving Sacrispeyre a flush, and he secured the double-up.
Aaron Barone raised from under the gun and Arthur Campos jammed for around 1,300,000 from the big blind. Barone made the call with slightly more chips.
Arthur Campos: J♣J♦
Aaron Barone: A♠K♥
It was a huge flip that would play a pivotal role in both players' Main Event futures.
Barone looked to have it locked up after the A♣A♦ gave him trips, making up two-thirds of the flop. However, it was completed by the J♠, giving Campos jacks full of aces.
The 5♥ turn didn't change anything, but the 5♣ river double-paired the board, improving Barone to a better boat to end Campos' deep run.
Kevin Ordet opened to 160,000 from middle position. Hugues Girard in the small blind jammed for 270,000, then Akihiro Konishi in the big blind four-bet to 500,000. Ordet with 10♠8♠ decided to call.
Konishi continued for 400,000 on a flop of 9♣6♣6♠, and Ordet folded.
Hugues Girard: 5♠5♣
Akihiro Konishi: A♦A♣
Girard ran his pocket fives into aces. The J♥7♣ runout didn't help him, and he was eliminated.
Patrick Hagenlocher moved all in for 925,000 in the hijack as action went on Greg Mueller in the small blind. He tanked for a few minutes but eventually gave up his hand. Kyle Scott, however, called in the big blind. "I only looked at one," Hagenlocher said as they turned over their cards.
Patrick Hagenlocher: A♣2♣
Kyle Scott: 3♥3♣
Hagenlocher was looking for an ace to survive, and picked up additional outs on the J♦6♥8♥J♣. "That's a good one," he said about the jack on the turn as he could counterfeit Scott's pair, but the 7♥ river was no help and he was eliminated.
"I was rooting for you. Good job," Wesley Fei told Hagenlocher as he came over from another table to give him a fist bump.
"You lose to me too," Mueller added.
David Paredes raised from the button, and Thomas Clack called from the big blind.
Clack check-called a bet of 200,000 from Paredes on the Q♥4♦9♥ flop, then did the same on the A♥ turn after Paredes fired a second barrel of 450,000.
With 935,000 behind, Clack checked for a final time on the 6♦ river. Paredes announced, "All-in," and Clack snap-called.
Paredes sheepishly tabled K♥3♦ for a bluff, while Clack revealed J♥6♥ for a flush to double up.
Zdenek Zizka in middle position raised to 240,000 with only 5,000 behind. Allan Sannier in the hijack called, as well as Jamie Shaevel in the big blind.
The dealer fanned a flop of Q♦4♦5♥, and after two checks, Sannier bet 175,000. Shaevel folded his K♣J♥, but Zizka called to be at risk.
Zdenek Zizka: K♠J♣
Allan Sannier: J♦8♦
Zizka was ahead with king-high, but Sannier had a lot of outs with his flush draw. Zizka dodged bullets on the 5♠ turn and the A♠ river to double up.
Francisco Fragoso was stacking up a massive pot he had just won off Farid Jattin worth more than 9,000,000. According to Fragoso, Jattin had moved all in on the turn with a flush draw, and Fragoso called with two aces and held on to earn the double-up.
A few hands later, Jattin raised to 160,000 in middle position and Cade Lautenbacher three-bet to 460,000 on the button. Jattin then moved all in for 600,000, and Lautenbacher called.
Farid Jattin: K♦K♠
Cade Lautenbacher: 6♦6♠
Jattin was ahead with his kings, and the 10♣4♦2♠7♣J♥ board earned him a double-up.
