Brandon Wilson raised to 475,000 in the small blind and Anatoly Zlotnikov called in the big blind.
The flop came 10♠K♥Q♥, Wilson continued with a bet of 500,000, and Zlotnikov made the call.
The turn fell the Q♣ and Wilson bet 500,000 again, which Zlotnikov called.
On the 2♣ river, Wilson slid out a bet of about 1,200,000 and Zlotnikov thought for a brief moment before making the call.
Wilson flashed A♦K♦ but Zlotnikov turned over Q♦4♣ for trip queens to claim the pot.
Jans Arends opened to 450,000 in middle position, and faced a three-bet to 1,500,000 from Anatoly Zlotnikov on the button. Arends responded by moving all in for 2,670,000, and Zlotnikov called.
Jans Arends: J♥J♦
Anatoly Zlotnikov: A♥J♠
Arends retained his lead on the 6♥2♣10♦ flop, but the A♦ turn had him fighting for survival. He was unable to find his one available out on the 3♣ river, and was eliminated in eighth place.
Action folded around to Brandon Wilson in the small blind, who completed, and Anatoly Zlotnikov checked back in the big blind.
On the K♣9♣5♠ flop, Wilson check-called a bet of 300,000 from Zlotnikov, bringing the A♠ turn. Wilson check-called again, this time for 900,000.
The river landed the 10♦ and Wilson checked for a third time. Zlotnikov fired out a bet of 1,400,000 and Wilson thought for a moment before giving up his hand.
The remaining eight players are taking a 5-minute comfort break.
Brian Breck opened to 450,000 from early position, which Chris Brewer and Pieter Aerts called from the cutoff and big blind.
Aerts opted to lead out on the Q♠J♠10♦ flop, betting 200,000, roughly half of his stack. Breck responded with a raise to 600,000, which saw Brewer fold, and Aerts put the rest of his stack into the middle.
Pieter Aerts: 7♠5♠
Brian Breck: K♣9♣
It was a flush draw versus a flopped straight, with Aerts needing to find a spade to survive.
The 2♦ turn and 9♥ river offered no help, though, eliminating him in ninth place.
Anatoly Zlotnikov raised to 425,000 from under the gun and Brian Breck flatted in the hijack.
The flop came 10♠4♠K♦, Zlotnikov continued with a bet of 350,000 and Breck called, bringing the 9♦ turn.
Zlotnikov slowed down with a check, and Breck fired out a bet of 850,000, which Zlotnikov called.
The Q♦ river slowed down the action and both players checked. Breck tabled K♣Q♣ for two pair, kings and queens, and the pot was pushed his way.
