Benjamin Grise raised from the hijack to 50,000, Pavel Plesuv three-bet to 135,000 from the cutoff, and Clemen Deng four-bet all in from the button. The blinds folded, and Grise reluctantly folded. Plesuv quickly called.
Pavel Plesuv: A♥K♥ 
Clemen Deng: J♠J♦
The board favored Plesuv with 6♥9♦10♠A♣4♥, and his pair of aces would earn him double his chips and leave Deng with crumbs.
Kharlin Sued made it 60,000 to play from the hijack only to face a three-bet from Marius Gierse in the cutoff to 175,000. The rest of the table folded and Sued made the call.
On the 4♣6♥6♣ flop Sued check-called Gierse's 85,000 continuation-bet and the 3♥ peeled off on the turn.
The action went check, check on the 6♠ river. Sued tabled A♣J♦ and was pushed the pot when Gierse mucked his hand.
Daniel Smiljkovic opened to 50,000 from the cutoff and Yosuke Miki three-bet to 150,000 in the hijack. Smiljkovic called.
Smiljkovic checked on the flop of 8♠K♥4♦ and Miki bet 75,000. Smiljkovic called. Both players then checked on the 3♠ turn.
Smiljkovic bet 80,000 on the 3♦ river and Miki raised to 375,000. Smiljkovic quickly folded.
Artur Martirosian opened to 50,000 from under the gun before Daniel Smiljkovic three-bet to 175,000 in the big blind. Martirosian then clicked it back to 375,000 to bring a quick fold from Smiljkovic.
Elsewhere, the short-stacked Cary Katz was eliminated sporting a handlebar mustache.
Cary Katz moved all in from under the gun for his last 60,000, and Justin Arnwine called from the big blind.
Cary Katz: K♥4♥
Justin Arnwine: 7♣6♣
The board was 2♦Q♥5♦3♦8♠, and king high for Katz would give him a lifeline.
Action folded to Mike Meskin on the button who open-jammed all in for 250,000 and found a call from Erik Seidel who was sat in the big blind.
Mike Meskin: Q♦J♠
Erik Seidel: A♠6♠
Meskin was behind and needed help to stay alive. The dealer duly obliged with the 7♦4♦Q♠ flop to send him into the lead. The 5♠ on the turn gave Meskin a bit of a sweat with Seidel picking up extra flush and straight outs. There was no drama for Meskin when the J♥ river gave him two pair and he was sent the pot for a double-up.
Sachin Joshi was all in for 505,000 against Dylan Smith to his left.
Sachin Joshi: A♣J♣
Dylan Smith: A♦8♦
Joshi had his opponent dominated and the runout of 5♠Q♦2♣J♠Q♣ improved him to a pair of jacks for a double.
Two players were knocked out on the bubble from two tables.
In the first hand, Danny Tang raised to 50,000 from the cutoff, Dylan Linde moved all in from the small blind for 265,000, and Daniyal Gheba also moved all in for 500,000. Tang quickly folded.
Dylan Linde: A♥K♦
Daniyal Gheba: 10♠10♥
The board came out with Q♦7♦J♣9♣4♣, and a pair of tens would win it for Gheba.
In the second hand, Justin Arnwine bet 75,000 from the big blind into a pot of 160,000 on a flop of 8♦Q♦A♠ and Adam Hendrix called in the cutoff.
Arnwine then moved all in on the 7♣ turn and Hendrix called with his remaining stack of 1,150,000.
Adam Hendrix: A♥Q♥
Justin Arnwine: 6♦5♦
Hendrix had a monster with top two pair, but Arnwine had a big draw that came in on the 9♣ river to give Arnwine a straight.
Hand-for-hand play is underway with 38 players remaining and only 37 places paid.
