Chang Lee raised to 300,000 on the button, which Colin Robinson called in the big blind.
Robinson checked on the A♣Q♣8♦ flop before calling when Lee continued for 250,000.
That put an end to the betting, as the action checked through on the Q♠ turn and 2♦ river.
Robinson tabled K♣10♣, showing he had flopped a royal flush draw, but was now just king-high, and Lee tabled the winner with his 7♥7♣.
Brandon Wilson raised to 330,000 in the cutoff and Chang Lee defended in the big blind.
The flop came Q♥2♠J♥ and Lee check-called a bet of 225,000 from Wilson, bringing the 9♠ turn.
Lee check-called again, this time for 825,000 and the river fell the 5♦, where Lee checked for a third time.
Wilson slid out a bet of 2,300,000 and Lee thought for a brief moment before surrendering his hand.
Anatoly Zlotnikov raised to 325,000 in middle position, and Pieter Aerts three-bet to 625,000 in late position, leaving himself with 120,000 back. Zlotnikov made the call.
The flop came 6♠7♣8♣, and Zlotnikov check-called Aerts' all-in to put him at risk.
Pieter Aerts: 9♦9♠
Anatoly Zlotnikov: A♦2♠
Aerts was able to dodge the ace as the board ran out K♦, 7♠, earning him the much-needed double-up.

Tournament chip leader, Santhosh Suvarna, raised to 300,000 from under the gun, and faced a three-bet to 1,000,000 from Sergio Aido in middle position. The action folded back to Suvarna, who immediately moved all in, and Aido called, putting the 650,000 he had behind into the middle.
Sergio Aido: 7♦7♣
Santhosh Suvarna: A♥A♦
The K♦Q♠K♠5♣10♣ flop offered Aido no improvement, ending his deep run just shy of the final table.
When the action folded to Pieter Aerts in the small blind, he raised to 450,000, which Anatoly Zlotnikov called in the big blind.
The dealer spread a 10♠A♠2♦ flop, and Aerts continued for 250,000, which Zlotnikov called.
Aerts barrelled for a more substantial 800,000 on the 8♣ turn, undeterred, Zlotnikov called once again.
The Q♣ completed the board, and Aerts emptied the clip, moving all in with the larger of the two stacks. Zlotnikov snap-called, putting his 2,180,000 into the middle and tabling K♦J♥ for the nut straight as he did.
Aerts revealed he had A♣K♠ before sliding the majority of his stack one seat to his left.
Action folded around to Chris Brewer in the small blind who asked Ben Heath in the big blind how much he was playing. Heath mentioned that he started the hand with just under 2,400,000. Brewer then moved all in and Heath called to put himself at risk.
Ben Heath: A♥6♦
Chris Brewer: 6♠4♠
Brewer pulled ahead on the 9♠4♥K♣ flop, pairing his four. He improved to two pair on the 6♥ turn, and the 8♦ on the river was of no help to Heath.
Brian Breck raised to 300,000 in the cutoff and Sergio Aido defended in the big blind.
The flop of 9♦9♣K♠ checked through to the Q♦ turn, where Aido led out for 400,000. Breck called and the river landed the 10♦.
Aido bet 375,000 and Breck called with A♠J♦ for Broadway to take down the pot.
The short stack coming into the final day, Turbo Nguyen, moved all in under the gun for 1,345,000. Chang Lee called in the cutoff, and the players behind folded.
Turbo Nguyen: 6♠6♥
Chang Lee: A♦A♣
Nguyen was left needing a miracle after the Q♦K♠A♠ flop hit the felt, and was drawing dead when the 2♥ turn joined the board. The 7♣ completed the board, but Nguyen was already up out of his seat and heading to the exit.
