Danny Tang made it 200,000 to go in the cutoff. Vinny Lingham decided to risk his stack of 1,480,000 from the big blind, and was quickly looked up by Tang.
Vinny Lingham: K♣J♣
Danny Tang: A♥Q♣
Lingham flopped two pair on J♥7♠K♠, leaving Tang with four outs after the 5♦ turn. He celebrated with his rail as the 7♦ river secured him his double-up, and quickly sat back down to play the next hand.
Yuri Dzivielevski under the gun opened to 200,000. Alex Foxen in the hijack three-bet to 600,000 but Sam Soverel on the button four-bet to 1,450,000.
Alex Kulev in the big blind wasn't done yet with the raises and five-bet all-in for 1,480,000. Dzivielevski folded 10♠10♦, Foxen folded A♦5♦ but Soverel called.
Alex Kulev: K♠K♣
Sam Soverel: Q♦Q♣
The board ran out 8♥8♣4♠J♣9♠ and Kulev secured a double up.
Yuri Dzivielevski found K♣8♣ in middle position and raised to 200,000. Teun Mulder flat-called A♣Q♠ on the button, and the duo went heads up to the A♥10♥10♠ flop. Dzivielevski continued for 150,000, and Mulder called.
Dzivielevski continued firing on the J♦ turn, doubling his sizing to 300,000. Mulder tossed in more calling chips, with the 9♠ appearing as the river after.
Dzivielevski completed his triple barrel with a bet of 550,000. Mulder laid the best hand down after some thought as Dzivielevski's bluff earned him the sizable pot.
It folded to Alex Foxen in the small blind, who raised to 400,000 with 8♠2♠. Teun Mulder called A♠9♣ in the big blind, and called again when Foxen continued for 180,000 on the 5♥Q♣5♦ flop.
Both players then checked the J♥ turn before Foxen fired 200,000 on the 8♥ river. Mulder correctly mucked his ace-high, seeing Foxen inch closer to him in the chip counts.
In a blind-on-blind pot worth 600,000, Alexandros Theologis checked 5♣3♠ on the J♦4♣10♦ flop, and Vinny Lingham followed suit with A♦5♠.
The 4♥ turn followed the same recipe, but Theologis bluffed for 300,000 on the 7♠ river.
Lingham threw his ace-high into the muck, and Theologis crossed the ten-million mark as a result.
John Kincaid in the hijack raised to 800,000 with 280,000 behind. Martin Kabrhel in the cutoff was the only one to call.
The dealer fanned a flop of 5♦5♠3♠, and after Kincaid checked, Kabrhel bet for more than Kincaid's stack. Kincaid called and found himself at risk.
John Kincaid: K♦J♣
Martin Kabrhel: A♦Q♣
The 7♣2♣ runout changed nothing, and Kincaid was sent to the rail.
Teun Mulder raised to 200,000 as first to act and was three-bet to 575,000 by Sam Soverel in the next seat over. Mulder called to the 7♦6♥5♦ flop, where he led out with a bet of 325,000.
Soverel just called, and the dealer placed the 6♦ on the turn. The duo checked it through to the 2♣ river.
Mulder then tossed an additional 500,000 into the pot, only to be raised to 1,800,000 by Soverel. Mulder went deep into the tank, but eventually called his 10♠10♦.
It was no good, however, as Soverel had been slow-playing his A♥A♦ and raked in the big pot.
Biao Ding opened to 200,000 from under the gun. Sam Soverel in the cutoff called but Christopher Nguyen on the button three-bet to 700,000.
Ding then moved all-in for 4,290,000 with Q♦Q♣. Soverel folded 5♠5♦ and Nguyen with A♠10♦ folded as well.
Big blind Christopher Nguyen and Yuri Dzivielevski in middle position both checked through the 7♥7♣A♣ flop. Nguyen checked 10♠8♠ again on the 8♦ turn before he called Dzivielevski, who was holding A♥J♣ and bet 175,000.
Dzivielevski then fired a pot-sized bet of 900,000 on the 5♠ river. Nguyen correctly decided to muck his pair of eights, and the pot was shipped to Dzivielevski.
