James Gregg got his 625,000 in from the big blind against Ricardo Cermeno on the button.
James Gregg: A♦A♣ 
Ricardo Cermeno: Q♦8♦
Cermeno made trip eights on the 7♠8♠8♥ flop, and he officially cracked Gregg's aces when the turn came the 3♦ and the river fell the 10♦.
Shreesh Hebbar opened to 200,000 from middle position and called after John Weiss to his left three-bet to 550,000.
Weiss continued for 550,000 on the J♠4♦9♣ flop. Hebbar check-called and checked the 7♥ turn. Weiss checked back.
Hebbar checked one more time on the K♣ river. Weiss fired 1,600,000 and Hebbar went deep into the tank before folding.
Will Givens raised to 350,000 from the small blind. Brock Wilson called from the big blind.
Givens fired a continuation-bet of 400,000 on the 2♠J♥3♠ flop, and Wilson called.
After the 2♣ landed on the turn, Givens carved out a second barrel of 720,000. Wilson took a little more time before deciding to call.
The A♦ completed the board, and Givens jammed, covering Wilson. With 1,800,000 behind, Wilson leaned back in his chair, ran a hand through his hair, then slammed in the call, all within about ten seconds.
Brock Wilson: A♥5♣
Will Givens: 10♠8♦
It was music to Wilson's ears when Givens instantly said, "nice call," as he tabled a bluff. Wilson revealed a pair of aces to earn the double-up.
Junjie Tang raised to 200,000 in the cutoff. Jason Kornegay responded with a three-bet to 795,000 in the small blind, and Tang called to the 2♣7♦10♥ flop.
Kornegay promptly shoved all in for 3,460,000. Tang requested a count, but quickly decided it was not worth it and folded his hand.
Wesley Fei opened to 200,000 from under the gun and action folded to Bahar Musa, who three-bet to 850,000 from the cutoff, leaving himself just 25,000 behind. Carlos Chadha Villamarin announced he was all-in from the small blind, which got a quick fold from Fei and a call from Musa.
Bahar Musa: 7♣7♦
Carlos Chadha Villamarin: Q♠Q♦
The 4♦10♥2♣ flop had Musa one step out the door, but the 7♠ turn got a collective, "Ooooh!" from everyone at the table as it had improved Musa a set of sevens.
The 6♥ filled out the board and Musa scored a fortunate double-up to keep his Main Event run alive.
Farid Jattin moved all in for 170,000 from middle position and Tianle Wang raised to 300,000 on the button. Francisco Fragoso called in the big blind.
Fragoso and Wang checked to the turn on a board of Q♠7♦6♠J♥, where Fragoso led out for 200,000. Wang quickly folded.
Farid Jattin: K♦8♦
Francisco Fragoso: 4♦3♦
"What are you doing?" Wang said incredulously. The river was the 9♣ and Jattin doubled up with king-high.
Wang said he had two eights and would've knocked out Jattin had Fragoso not bet.
Ralph Perry has not been happy with short stack Farid Jattin, accusing him of unnecessarily tanking and being quick to call the clock.
"He's taking five minutes every hand," Perry said, though others at the table disputed that he had taken that long.
Perry raised to 200,000 in early position and action folded to Jattin a few seats over. He shuffled his remaining chips for about a minute before Perry called the clock.
"Buddy, why are you in such a bad mood? You're playing fantastic, you have all these chips," Jattin said before folding.
"I don't know why the rest of you are okay with this," Perry grumbled.
Tianle Wang then called in the big blind and, ironically, ended up playing a five-minute hand against the anti-tanker.
Wang checked on the flop of 3♥4♠2♦ and Perry continued for 150,000. Wang check-raised to 425,000 and Perry called. Wang then sized up to 750,000 on the A♣ turn and Perry called.
Wang bet 750,000 again on the A♥ river and Perry took his time before raising to 3,000,000. Wang laid it down. Jattin stayed silent after the hand, but Benjamin Morgan stood up for him.
"Now you can be happy," said Morgan.
With one spot to go before a pay jump, Wesley Fei took his time to act preflop. "You're too rich for that," Zhao Liu said.
"That's why he's rich," Patrick Leonard added.
The tournament clock then clicked down to 98 players, guaranteeing everyone an additional $10,000, as the table began celebrating. Fei then raised to 200,000 in middle position, and Lauri Saaskilahti called in the hijack.
Both players checked the A♠10♣8♦ flop. Fei then bet 225,000 on the 10♦ turn, and Saaskilahti called.
The river was the 5♥ and Fei bet another 950,000. Saaskilahti again called, and Fei showed K♥10♠ for trips to win the pot.
"If I win the $10 million first place, I'll be even on my poker career," Fei told his tablemates.
"You're only down that little? I thought it was a lot more," Liu countered.
Lucas Jumalon raised to 200,000 and quickly called when Thomas Macdonald shipped in his stack of 1,245,000.
Thomas Macdonald: A♠10♥
Lucas Jumalon: K♣Q♥
Macdonald flopped a pair of tens on 6♠2♣10♣, but Macdonald found a flush on the 6♣8♣ runout to secure the pot and double up.
On a completed board of 9♣5♠2♦10♦7♥, Brock Wilson bet 275,000 from the big blind, and Mindaugas Jonaitis called from middle position.
Wilson tabled K♣7♦ for a rivered pair of sevens, but it was second best to Jonaitis' 8♥8♣ for a pair of eights.
