Zhao Liu raised to 1,100,000 in the cutoff and Evagoras Evagorou called on the button. Lucas Jumalon then three-bet to 4,250,000 in the small blind, and only Liu called.
Jumalon continued for 2,500,000 on the K♥7♠4♥ flop, and Liu folded as he took another hit to his stack.
In a battle of the blinds, Antonio Galiana check-called the A♥J♠6♠ flop for 1,500,000 against the newly arrived Malcolm Trayner before they checked the 2♣ turn. On the 7♦ river, Galiana bet 3,100,000 and was called by Trayner, who won the pot with the Q♦Q♥ at showdown.
Zhao Liu raised to 1,200,000 in the small blind, Evagoras Evagorou three-bet to 4,000,000 in the big blind, and Liu called.
Both players checked the 7♠6♠7♦ flop. Liu then bet 2,200,000 on the 10♥ turn, and Evagorou called.
The river was the 4♠ and Liu bet another 8,000,000. Evagorou tanked for a minute before calling, and Liu could only show A♣5♦ for ace-high. Evagorou also turned over A♠J♥ for ace-high, but his jack-kicker played to earn him the big pot.
Thomas Clack in middle position opened to 1,000,000. Will Givens to his left three-bet to 3,000,000.
The action went back to Clack, who four-bet to 7,200,000. Givens went into the tank but ultimately folded.
Evagoras Evagorou raised to 1,125,000 in the hijack and Shaun Deeb called in the big blind.
The flop came Q♠7♥4♥ and Evagorou bet 600,000. Deeb then raised to 2,100,000, and Evagorou quickly folded.
"Let's go, Shaun!" Deeb's rail shouted out as he took down his first pot since arriving at this table.
Kyosuke Nagami raised to 5,000,000 from the cutoff with 700,000 behind and Daniel Savas in the small blind three-bet to 10,000,000. It folded back to Nagami, who called all in, and both players turned over the following pocket pairs.
Kyosuke Nagami: J♦J♣ 
Daniel Savas: Q♥Q♦
The Japanese rail, including WSOP Player of the Year contender Naoya Kihara, yelled out when the flop came K♣J♠3♠. However, the Q♣ turn was a dagger in the hopes of Nagami, leaving him with just one out. No miracle came with the 2♣ river and Savas earned the knockout with his set of queens.
Two years ago, Nagami finished in 21st place and now he bowed out in 23rd place for $325,000.
Evagoras Evagorou raised to 1,125,000 on the button and Michael Gagliano called in the big blind.
The flop came A♣A♠Q♦ and Evagorou bet 500,000. Gagliano called.
The Q♠ turn was checked through, and Gagliano then led out for 1,500,000 on the 4♥ river. Evagorou snap-called.
Gagliano's 8♠8♣ was counterfeited by the board, and Evagorou turned over Q♣J♠ for a full house to win the pot.
Berkeley Yuan open-shoved the button for 6,275,000 and Romain Lewis in the big blind asked for a count before he made the call with the covering stack.
Berkeley Yuan: A♦3♠
Romain Lewis: K♣J♦
Yuan was marginally ahead but fell behind on the Q♦J♣2♣ flop. His rail shouted for the "ace from space" but it never came on the 8♠ turn and 9♦ river. Lewis jumped up to high-five his rail, while Yuan had to settle for $325,000.
Dylan Smith limped in from the small blind with A♣2♦ and Greg Mueller checked his option in the big blind with 8♥2♣.
Smith checked on the flop of 7♠7♥10♠ and Mueller bet 500,000. Smith folded the best hand.
Evagoras Evagorou raised to 1,125,000 under the gun and Giuseppe Pantaleo moved all in for 4,225,000 in middle position. Tolga Karakaya then reshoved for 9,925,000 on the button and Zhao Liu called in the small blind, while Evagorou took a minute before folding.
Giuseppe Pantaleo: A♠J♠
Tolga Karakaya: Q♥Q♣
Zhao Liu: A♣K♥
Liu had a chance to eliminate both players if he could win the race against Karakaya's queens, while Pantaleo was dominated by both opponents. The flop came 8♣6♦5♦ to keep Karakaya in the lead, and the rest of the board ran out 10♦2♠.
Karakaya scooped the pot to earn the double up off Liu, while Pantaleo was sent to the rail in 25th place.
