By the time the turn showed J♦8♠3♦10♥, there were more than 500,000 in the middle, and a lot more chips would follow when Barrett Threadgill on the button and Carlo van Ravenswoud got their stacks into the middle.
Barrett Threadgill: K♦Q♥9♥4♦ 
Carlo van Ravenswoud: Q♠J♣9♣7♠
Threadgill had a very healthy freeroll to improve and he got there with the 5♦ river to double for 1,360,000.
Biao Ding raised to 80,000 in the hijack, which Richard Gryko and Daniel Negreanu called in the small and big blind.
The action checked through on the 9♥Q♦2♦ flop, giving Gryko the green light to bet on the Q♠ turn. His wager of 100,000 was enough to see both Negreanu and Ding fold, and he scooped in the pot unchallenged.
Richard Gryko raised to 75,000 under the gun. Biao Ding called on the button, and Levon Khachatryan did so in the big blind.
The trio checked through the 5♥8♥7♣ flop. Khachatryan checked again on the 6♠ turn, seeing Gryko bet 120,000. Ding quickly folded before Khachatryan called.
Gryko sized up to 375,000 on the 9♥ river, which was enough to win the pot as Khachatryan check-folded.
Meanwhile, James Obst's seat was left empty at this table, signaling his bust-out.
Oshri Lahmani raised in the cutoff and then called a pot-sized three-bet to 210,000 by Dylan Linde on the button to keep 60,000 behind, which he didn't get in first to act on the Q♣5♥3♣ flop but instead checked. Linde bet the very same amount and Lahmani called all-in.
Oshri Lahmani: A♥J♥J♠7♦
Dylan Linde: A♦K♠10♣9♣
The 4♠ turn and 3♠ river ensured the double of Lahmani. One table over, James Obst was not as fortunate as his stack was sent over to Biao Ding.
With 85,000 invested preflop, four players headed to the J♣10♠4♦ flop and the action checked to Hani Mio on the button, who jammed for his last 265,000. Only Ian Matakis called and they flipped them over.
Hani Mio: A♣Q♦J♦8♥
Ian Matakis: K♥Q♣J♥5♣
The 7♠ turn changed nothing but Mio improved to jacks and eights on the 8♠ river to stay in contention.
"If he doesn't call, I beat you," Gruffudd Pugh-Jones said after it was all over.
Chenxiang Miao raised to 60,000 from the cutoff, and Sergio Martinez Gonzalez called in the big blind.
Martinez Gonzalez check-called a bet of 125,000 on the A♠2♥4♦ flop, before the action checked through on both the J♦ turn and the Q♥ river.
Martinez Gonzalez tabled A♦Q♣J♥3♥, and Miao mucked his hand.
Sergio Martinez Gonzalez raised to 85,000 in middle position. Alex Foxen called on the button, Daniel Aharoni followed suit on the button, and Chenxiang Miao defended his big blind.
It then checked to Foxen on the 8♦J♦6♠ flop. He bet 250,000, prompting Aharoni to jam in his stack of 730,000. The other two players quickly folded before Foxen snap-called with the covering stack.
Daniel Aharoni: A♦Q♥10♠10♦
Alex Foxen: J♥9♦8♥7♦
Foxen was ahead with two pair, and he rivered a full house on the Q♠J♠ runout to send Aharoni packing.
On the heads-up turn of 7♦7♣4♣9♣, Levon Khachatryan bet 125,000 in the big blind and Biao Ding called on the button. Khachatryan bet another 275,000 on the J♣ river and Ding called to catch his opponent bluffing as Khachatryan only exposed the A♠J♥. Ding's Q♣Q♠6♥5♣ won the pot.
Soon after that, Manuel Fischer was all-in after the Q♦J♣7♣9♥ turn and was looked up by Khachatryan.
Manuel Fischer: K♠Q♥9♣4♣
Levon Khachatryan: Q♠10♦9♠8♥
Khachatryan had turned the straight and Fischer still had outs with his two pair and flush draw along with a ten to make a higher straight. However, the 2♥ river was not among them for Fischer to bust.
"Wow, you always have good hands," Daniel Negreanu chimed in and Khachatryan reminded him in table chat that he had previously knocked out Negreanu on a previous entry on Day 1.
Ka Kwan Lau limped in from early position, and, one seat to his left, Barrett Threadgill did the same. Stian Usterud joined in on the button before Gruffudd Pugh-Jones spoiled the party with a raise to 150,000 from the small blind. Lau called, but the two limpers folded.
The dealer laid out a A♦8♦2♣ flop, and Pugh-Jones moved all in for 195,000. Lau, who had used his hands to cover the flop, peeled the cards one at a time. Clearly, he hadn't connected, as he returned his cards to the dealer.
The Q♣7♣4♥J♦ turn checked to Aaron Kupin in the hijack, who bet the pot of 295,000. Chance Kornuth responded with a pot-sized raise to 1,180,000 from the small blind, quickly folding out Nino Pansier in the big blind.
Kupin spent several of his time banks before he reluctantly folded, sending the pot to Kornuth without showdown.
During the hand, Christian Harder became the latest elimination of the tournament at another table, while Chad Eveslage had busted not long before him.
