In a limped pot, Matthew Costanzo led out for 125,000 from the small blind on a flop of 2♦Q♣J♦ and Joao Simao raised to 695,000 in the big blind. Costanzo then moved all in, and Simao called for 1,300,000.
Joao Simao: J♣9♦5♦2♣ 
Matthew Costanzo: A♥K♦10♣3♦

"Ace-queen", Sarmiento announced, as he tabled A♦Q♥9♦7♦, and Khachatryan mucked his hand.
From under the gun, Jeremy Druckman made it 280,000 to go and was called only by Levon Khachatryan on the button. The J♥9♦4♣ flop saw Druckman check-call a bet of 250,000 and they checked the 2♥ on the turn. Druckman used one time bank on the 3♠ river and then bet 750,000.
Khachatryan paid it off after brief hesitation and Druckman announced a straight to show the A♦K♣10♠5♦ for the wheel to win a nice pot off the table big stack.
Dylan Linde got in his last 255,000 from the small blind and was up against Ian Matakis on the button.
Dylan Linde: A♥10♣9♦5♥
Ian Matakis: A♠9♠6♥2♣

Barrett Threadgill: 10♠10♦8♣4♦

Yang was chasing a straight draw against Threadgill's two pair, but he failed to improve on the 3♠ turn or Q♠ river as Threadgill held on to secure the double up.
Jeremy Trojand raised to 280,000 on the button, and Alex Foxen called in the big blind.
Foxen checked on the J♠3♦5♠ flop, and Trojand bet the pot, putting 680,000 into the middle, leaving just 5,000 behind. Foxen didn't take any time at all in folding, and Trojand pulled in a much-needed pot.
Levon Khachatryan raised to 225,000 and was called by Sergio Martinez Gonzalez on the button, Steven Sarmiento also came along in the big blind as well.
The 3♠3♥3♦ flop saw Sarmiento check-fold when Khachatryan bet 125,000 and Martinez Gonzalez called. Both players checked the 10♣ turn thereafter and Khachatryan bet the 8♠ river for 650,000. The call by the Spaniard followed but Martinez Gonalez mucked when he was shown the Q♥Q♣9♣7♠ for treys full of queens.
In a limped pot between the blinds, Hani Mio announced pot for 560,000 on a flop of K♣4♥9♣ and Sergio Martinez quickly raised all in. Mio called for his last 800,000.
