Both Binder and Straver checked the 3♠Q♣J♣ flop leading to the 9♠ turn where Binder bet 225,000. Straver made the call.
Binder bet 115,000 on the 10♠ river but Straver raised to 1,050,000. With a little bit less than 700,000 behind, Binder went deep into the tank and eventually called with Q♠J♥ for two pair. Unfortunately for him, Straver had a flush with K♠J♠ so Binder was eliminated.
Daniel Negreanu limped from the cutoff. Stephen Chidwick in the small blind called but Alex Foxen in the big blind squeezed to 72,000. Negreanu three-bet to 205,000 and made Chidwick fold K♦8♦, but Foxen called.

Foxen led out for 572,000 on the K♠ river. Negreanu snap-folded 8♥8♠. Foxen had a straight with A♣J♣.

The dealer fanned a flop of 5♠10♠10♣ and Koon continued for 76,000. Heath check-called.
Koon fired a second barrel to 160,000 on the 8♠ turn. Heath check-called again and the A♣ landed on the river.
Heath with Q♦10♦ checked one more time and Koon decided to apply maximum pressure by moving almost all-in for 1,463,000. Heath went deep into the tank and ultimately folded his flopped trips. Koon only had 5♦4♦ for two pair.

Foxen checked again and Ponakovs bet 195,000, which Foxen called.
On the 4♠ river, Foxen checked once more and Ponakovs bet 650,000. Foxen quickly called and saw the bad news that Ponakovs had hit a wheel on the river.
Action picked up on the flop of Q♠A♥K♥ in a hand between Christoph Vogelsang in the cutoff and Brandon Wilson on the button.
With 220,000 in the middle, Vogelsang checked with Q♥10♥ and Wilson bet 52,000 with A♠9♣. Vogelsang called and the turn brought the 5♣.
Vogelsang check-called again, this time for 360,000, and the river fell the 8♠. Vogelsang checked for a third time and Wilson quickly checked back with his pair of aces to win the pot.

Parssinen fired out a bet of 140,000 and Koon thought for a moment before making the call with ace-high to scoop the pot.
Nick Petrangelo raised to 27,000 from under the gun and Bernhard Binder three-bet to 130,000 in the small blind.
The flop came A♣5♦J♦, Binder continued with a bet of 75,000, and Petrangelo called.
On the 9♦ turn, Binder slowed down with a check, and Petrangelo fired out a bet of 215,000, forcing Binder to give up his hand.
