Mikita Badziakouski and Stephen Chidwick raised each other and ended up moving all-in with Chidwick in the blinds at risk for 1,165,000.
Stephen Chidwick: Q♣Q♥ 
Mikita Badziakouski: A♥K♥
After a 4♣6♦9♠ flop, Badziakouski hit the K♦ turn to take the lead. The 5♠ landed on the river and Chidwick was eliminated while Badziakouski now holds 2,600,000.
The action was picked up on a board of Q♣4♠3♣6♥5♦ with 480,000 in the pot. Mikita Badziakouski in early position bet 50,000 but Ramiro Salinas in the cutoff raised to 250,000.
Badziakouski put his head in his hands and leaned back in his chair. After a few seconds, he concluded there was only one option and made the call with 4♦4♣ for a set. Salinas could only show K♠Q♠, sending the pot Badziakouski’s way.
Meanwhile, Ben Heath was sent to the rail by Barak Wisbrod.
Jesse Lonis opened to 25,000 from the hijack and Artur Martirosian called from the cutoff. Biao Ding three-bet to 85,000 on the button and both players called behind.
The Q♥6♥2♠ flop was checked around to see the 8♥ turn. Lonis bet 47,000 Martirosian raised to 155,000 and Ding made a quick fold. It took Lonis more time to muck his hand, and Martirosian took down the pot.
Kristen Foxen was stacking her stack in separate big blinds, amounting to about 17 of them, when she raised to 24,000 from middle position. Orpen Kisacikoglu flat-called in the small blind, and Brandon Wilson obliged by defending his big blind.
The trio checked through the 8♦Q♠2♣ flop, leading to the 6♣ being placed on the turn. Kisacikoglu checked again, inviting Wilson to bet 52,000.
Foxen then jammed in around 180,000, which garnered two quick folds to take down the pot.
Emilien Pitavy opened 24,000 from the button and Nick Petrangelo defended from the big blind.
Both players checked the 3♥7♥4♦ flop but Petrangelo led out for 52,000 on the 6♦ turn. Pitavy called.
On the K♠ river, Petrangelo bet enough to put Pitavy all in. With approximately 175,000 behind, the Frenchman went into the tank and called with A♥K♣ for top pair. Petrangelo flipped over A♠5♣ for a straight and Pitavy was eliminated.
The action was caught as Samuel Mullur bet 17,000 on the Q♥5♥4♠ flop from the cutoff. Daniel Rezaei then check-raised to 75,000 in the hijack, which Mullur called.
Rezaei fired 140,000 into the pot on the 3♦ turn. Mullur once again called, and the 7♣ river was subsequently checked by both.
Rezaei showed A♠K♦ for ace-high, but it was no good against the K♠Q♣ of Mullur, who had flopped top pair to win the pot.
Dejan Kaladjurdjevic moved all in for his remaining 1,000 chip from early position and Sergio Aido limped from the small blind Galen Hall checked the big blind and the players saw a 3♠8♠7♣ flop.
Action was checked to the A♠ turn and Aido check-called a 10,000 bet by Hall to see the 5♣ complete the board. Kaladjurdjevic showed his 7♥6♠ for a pair of sevens which was enough to take the pot as Hall turned over K♥6♦ and Aido mucked.
Kaladjurdjevic made it back up to 13,000 after the hand and folded from under the gun meaning he was going to be forced all in from the big blind, blind.
Aido raised 24,000 from the cutoff and Kristen Foxen called from the small blind. With Kaladjurdjevic all in from the big blind the players went three-ways to the 8♦J♥A♥ flop. Kaladjurdjevic was playing for a 37,000 pot and the side pot stood at 24,000.
Both checked to the J♠ turn and Foxen check-called a 32,000 bet by Aido. A 9♦ completed the board and Foxen folded after Aido asked for 75,000. Aido turned over Q♠10♦ for the straight as Kaladjurdjevic flashed his Kx5x before standing from the table and leaving the tournament area having just hit the rail.
With around 195,000 in the pot, Artur Martirosian fired a bet of 115,000 on the A♠2♠2♦10♦ turn from the big blind. Sam Soverel called in the hijack, after which the 8♠ river completed the board.
Martirosian wasted little time in moving his remaining 295,000 over the line, only to be snapped off by Soverel. Martirosian could only show a bluff with 5♥4♥, and he was eliminated as soon as Soverel showed 10♥10♣ for a full house.
Over at another table, Rick Salomon lost his last chips about 15 minutes after buying into the event.
Down to roughly 150,000, Alex Kulev in the cutoff found himself at risk against Mikita Badziakouski on the button.
Alex Kulev: J♠9♠
Mikita Badziakouski: A♠J♣
Badziakouski kept the lead all the way through a board of 4♣7♦8♠3♠3♣ and Kulev was eliminated.
