Maxime Chilaud raise-called the shove by Sean Winter for just over one million in chips and both players turned over pocket pairs.
Sean Winter: Q♠Q♦ 
Maxime Chilaud: 7♠7♦
The K♦J♦8♣ flop and J♠ turn left Winter ahead and Chilaud failed to spike his two outer on the 3♠ river.
Peter Kiem got his last 540,000 in from early position against Mindaugas Jonaitis in the small blind.
Peter Kiem: A♥K♥
Mindaugas Jonaitis: 8♠8♣
The Q♦4♥10♠6♠10♥ board brought no match for Kiem's hole cards, eliminating Kiem from the Main Event.
Zhao Liu and Bahar Musa built a pot of around 800,000 as they went to a flop of Q♣3♥5♠. Musa then bet 175,000 from early position, and Liu raised to 510,000 under the gun. Musa tanked for a few minutes before folding.
"He's my student," Wesley Fei said about Liu.
"I know who the teacher is," Ali Ayub added.
"He's the only one who can beat me," Liu replied.
At another table, Espen Sandvik had opened to 160,000 under the gun and Archimedes Arenas three-bet to 360,000 in middle position. Sandvik then moved all in, and Arenas snap-called for 2,370,000.
Archimedes Arenas: A♣A♦
Espen Sandvik: Q♣Q♠
Arenas had Sandvik crushed with his aces, and the board ran out K♠J♥10♥3♥10♣ to earn him the double-up.
Justin Manjares raised in middle position and Bryn Larkman three-bet in the small blind. Manjares called.
Larkman continued for 275,000 on the flop of 6♦10♣5♦ and Manjares called. Both players then checked on the 7♠ turn.
Larkman bet 275,000 on the K♦ river and Manjares quickly called. Larkman tabled 8♦8♠, which was no good against the A♦K♠ of Manjares as Larkman smacked the table in frustration.
Tal Herzog opened to 125,000 first to act and was caleld by Mads Wissing in middle position and Greg Mueller on the button.
Herzog continued for 140,000 on the 5♥9♦6♥ flop, which got a fold from Wissing and a call from Mueller.
The 7♣ fell on the turn and Herzog check-called a 250,000 bet from Mueller.
Both players checked on the 9♣ river and Herzog turned over A♦K♣. Mueller re-checked his cards before sending them into the muck to award Herzog the pot.
At the main feature table, Arash Vaziri under the gun with A♦K♦ opened to 125,000, and DJ Sharma called from two seats over with 10♦9♦.
Sharma flopped a pair on 5♥10♠J♥ but checked back and let Vaziri bet 300,000 on the 6♣ turn. Sharma called to find the A♥ river.
Vaziri, now with top pair, bet 400,000 and Sharma folded.
Picking up the action on the flop of 4♦6♦8♣, Xingyu Liu led out for 125,000 from the small blind and Jacob Thibodeau raised to 390,000 from early position.
Liu came over the top by three-betting to 2,400,000 and Thibodeau folded to avoid being put at risk.
Kyle Mart raised to 120,000 from under the gun and Florian Bordet called a few seats over. Nicola Karl then squeeze-jammed for 1,340,000 from the button, and Mart moved all in over the top for around 3,000,000. Bordet, who had a similar stack to Mart, went deep into the tank before folding, flashing JxJx as he did.
Nicola Karl: K♠J♠
Kyle Mart: A♥K♣
Karl was crushed by Mart's big slick, and with neither player improving on the 8♠8♥2♦9♣5♥ runout, Mart's ace-high won the pot, and Karl was eliminated from the Main Event.
Mart's stack received a huge boost, while Bordet had to walk away from the table knowing his pocket jacks would have held up.
Tal Herzog raised to 125,000 in early position and Patrick Hagenlocher moved all in for 680,000 in the hijack. Stephen Press then reshoved for 985,000 in the big blind, and Herzog folded.
Patrick Hagenlocher: Q♦J♦
Stephen Press: A♠K♦
The Q♠6♣8♠ flop gave Hagenlocher top pair and the lead, and the rest of the board ran out 2♦6♥ to earn him the double-up.
Joseph Mirabile got his 750,000 in from the big blind against Thomas Macdonald in the small blind, being the player at risk.
Joseph Mirabile: A♥J♠
Thomas Macdonald: A♣5♦
"Good luck, everyone," Mirabelle stated as he stood up after the 8♥6♥5♠ board paired his opponent. He quickly sat back down when the J♦ turn gave him a higher pair, but the 5♥ river improved Macdonald to trips to send Mirabile packing still.
"It's been an awesome experience," Mirabelle genuinely concluded as he left to pick up his payout.
