Sang Shin limped from the cutoff, Scott Abrams limped the button, and Christopher Alcindor checked his option in the big blind.
On the K♠7♦6♦ flop, Alcindor led for 380,000 and only Abrams called.
The turn brought the 9♠ as Alcindor fired again, this time for 850,000, and Abrams put in the call after a minute's tank.
On the 3♠ river, Alcindor emptied the clip, moving all-in for roughly 1,975,000.
Abrams flipped over the A♠, joking, "Doesn't this scare you?" as he folded.
"Not after you show it," Alcindor replied as he tabled just the 2♠2♦ from his hand.
On a K♦9♥4♥7♣5♠ river, Christopher Alcindor bet 875,000 and was called by Sang Shin.
Alcindor announced "Deuce-three low, and nine-five" showing Q♥9♠5♥3♣2♥ however, Shin turned over A♦9♣6♦5♣2♣ for the same high, but the nut low, and he took three quarters of the pot.
On a A♣A♠Q♠ flop Scott Abrams check-called a bet of 275,000 from Christopher Alcindor.
The turn 9♠ was checked by both players and the river was the J♦. Abrams checked, and promptly called a bet of 900,000 from Alcindor.
Alcindor turned over A♥Q♥7♥7♣3♠ for aces full of queens, with Abrams flashing AxJx for aces full of jacks, before mucking.
On a flop of 9♠8♥7♣, Shawn Rice got roughly his final 1,250,000 into the middle from the big blind, at risk against Thomas Koral from under the gun.
Shawn Rice: A♦J♣8♣5♥2♥
Thomas Koral: A♠9♦9x4♥2x
Rice had middle pair with a double gutter and two backdoor flush draws, along with the nut low draw, while Koral flopped top set with the nut low draw.
The board ran out 2♣7♠ as Koral's ace-four was the better low and he improved to a full house to eliminate Rice in 11th.
James Roullier opened to 325,000 and Song Wang called.
The pair checked the Q♣J♠10♣ flop and the turn was the K♠. Wang checked and Roullier bet the pot of 830,000. Wang raised all in and Roullier called for 1,880,000.
"I have a redraw," said Roullier.
James Roullier: A♥J♦9♠5♠2♦
Song Wang: A♦Q♥8♥5♦
Unsurprisingly both players had turned the nut straight, but only Roullier held the redraw to the flush. The river Q♠ completed his flush and he doubled up.
James Roullier opened to 250,000 on the button and Song Wang defended his big blind.
On the 10♠9♥4♠ flop, Wang opted to lead for pot of 680,000, and Roullier called.
The turn brought the A♣ as Wang led again and Roullier called all-in for his final 1,350,000.
James Roullier: A♠A♥8♦6♠2♦
Song Wang: A♦9♠7♥6♦4♥
Roullier had top set and the nut flush draw, as well as the superior low draw, while Wang had two-pair with a gutter.
Only an eight or a deuce could give Wang half, which he found on the 8♥ river, giving him the ten-high straight for the high.
On a A♣10♦4♦ board, James Roullier was all in for 1,050,000 against chip leader Song Wang.
James Roullier: A♥8♥3♠3♦2♣
Song Wang: A♠10♥6♦6♠2♠
The 5♠ turn improved Roullier to a wheel, and although the 6♣ got Wang excited as he'd rivered a set, it wasn't enough as Roullier doubled up.
At the exact same time that Keith Olsby was eliminated at the other table, Michael Estes found himself all-in and at risk from the small blind against Scott Abrams in the big blind.
Michael Estes: A♥K♥Q♦6♥2♠
Scott Abrams: A♦A♣K♦6♣3♦
The completed board read K♣J♥7♠4♠4♥, and Abrams two pair, aces and fours, were best as the low bricked, and Estes will have to settle for 12th after another deep run.
Song Wang opened to 275,000 in the hijack before Keith Olsby three-bet to 750,000 on the button, and Wang called.
On the A♣K♣5♠ flop, Wang led and Olsby called all-in for roughly his final 600,000.
Keith Olsby: A♥Q♠10♣5♣2♦
Song Wang: A♦K♦Q♦6♠3♥
Olsby had a flush draw with two pair, while Wang held the low draw. Nothing changed on the 9♠ turn, until the 6♥ landed on the river, giving Wang a better two pair, and Olsby could not make a low as he was eliminated in 13th.
