Michael Letal raised from the cutoff to 60,000, and the other Michael, Michael Lavenburg, called from the big blind. The flop arrived with 8♥10♣K♣ and Lavenburg checked to Letal, who bet 75,000. Letal called.
Both players checked through the 4♦ turn and the 9♣ river. Lavenburg, the champion of the Michael battle, turned over K♦10♦ for two pair, while Letal mucked.
Joshua Stewart opened to 60,000 from middle position and Daniel Jackson defended his big blind.
The J♥2♠8♦ flop was check-called by Jackson after Stewart bet 35,000.
A 5♥ turn was quickly checked to the 6♣ river and Jackson moved all in for ~185,000. Stewart pushed his hand into the muck, letting Jackson pick up the pot.
Faraz Jaka raised to 60,000 in late position and John Ypma flatted on the button.
The flop of J♦9♦2♥ checked through to the 3♦ turn, where Jaka check-called a bet of 125,000.
On the 2♣ river, Jaka checked again and Ypma thought for a moment before electing to check back.
Jaka tabled 4♠4♦ for two pair, fours and deuces, prompting Ypma to muck.
Level: 23
Blinds: 15,000/30,000
Ante: 30,000
Yuanzhi Cao opened on the button and James MacMillan three-bet to 125,000 from the small blind. Cao called and the pair saw the 6♠3♣9♠ flop.
MacMillan bet out 90,000 and Cao mucked his hand, passing a small pot to MacMillan.
In the next hand Timothy Hempleman opened to 105,000 from middle position and MacMillan called on the button.
A 5♦7♦A♠ flop saw Hempleman check, MacMillan bet 85,000 and Hempleman fold, allowing MacMillan to stack up more.
Vamerdino Magsakay raised from the button to 60,000, and Ke Gong called from the big blind. The flop was 7♥9♦8♦, and Gong led out for 35,000. Magsakay called, and the turn was dealt.
On the turn 2♥, Gong led again for 170,000, and Magsakay had had enough of that and moved all in for 530,000 effective. Gong called for his tournament life.
Ke Gong: 9♥3♥ 
Vamerdino Magsakay: Q♣9♣
Magsakay was in the lead heading to the river and needed to fade a flush or a three, and that he did with the river of 7♠. Two pair would earn Magsakay the knockout.
Tom Hall raised to 50,000 from under the gun, David Peters three-bet to 120,000 in middle position, and Kenzo Ishida cold four-bet to 400,000 in the cutoff. Hall then moved all in for 455,000 total, prompting Peters to reluctantly muck his hand. Ishida flicked in the extra 55,000.
Tom Hall: A♣K♣
Kenzo Ishida: Q♦Q♣
Hall pulled ahead on the 5♥7♣K♦ flop, pairing his king. The turn landed the 4♠ and the river fell the 4♦, earning him the double up.
Filipp Khavin moved all in from middle position with a little over 200,000 chips. When the action folded to Elliot Smith on the button, he shoved all in as well, folding out the rest of the table.
Filipp Khavin: A♣Q♣
Elliot Smith: 10♠10♦
It was a prototypical flip, and though Khavin picked up a straight draw on the flop, Smith's tens held through a runout of K♦J♥6♠K♥8♠.
Action folded around to Konstantin Cugunov who raised to 300,000 from the small blind to cover Benoit Fiasson in the big blind who had 190,000 chips. Fiasson called and the players flipped their cards.
Benoit Fiasson: A♦6♣
Konstantin Cugunov: A♠8♠
Fiasson was behind, but flopped well and picked up a flush draw on the 4♣A♣K♣ board. He still needed more to stay in the tournament and the 10♦ turn didn't help him. Cugunov was calling for, "No chop, win or lose only."
A 2♣ river was enough to secure Fiasson the double up and he remarked "I'd have taken a chop."
Cugunov responded, "No, I have had enough of chops, I had ace-king versus ace-king three times today. Win or lose only."
Action went four-ways to a flop of 2♣9♦J♦ and Ruslan Zakharchuk in the big blind began with a check. The under-the-gun John Ypma bet 50,000 and James MacMillan called. Faraz Jaka on the button folded, as did Zakharchuk.
Both players checked on the A♣ turn, which brought the K♦ river, where Ypma checked again. MacMillan fired out a bet of 100,000 and Ypma thought for a brief moment before mucking his hand.
