During the last orbit of the table, Daniel Wirgau, Robert Brobyn, Lexy Gavin-Mather and Holly Foley all moved all in, in separate hands, but not one of them was called.
Here is a look at the chip counts as they stand.
Julien Duveau open-jammed for 6,500,000 from under the gun and Laurance Essak called in the big blind.
Julien Duveau: A♦6♠
Laurance Essak: 9♠8♦
The flop of 9♥7♥K♠ put Essak in front and the runout of 2♦6♣ confirmed Duveau's elimination in ninth place.
When the action folded to Julien Duveau in the small blind, he moved all in for 2,500,000. Prashanth Nataraj flicked in a chip to call from the big blind.
Julien Duveau: A♥J♣
Prashanth Nataraj: 5♠2♥
Both players found a pair on the Q♠5♥J♠ flop, but crucially for Duveau, he retained his lead.
It stayed that way across the 9♦ turn and K♥ river, seeing Duveau double his short stack.
Laurance Essak opened to 3,500,000 in middle position and Jeevan Lobo called in the big blind.
Lobo checked on the flop of 10♦4♣3♠ and Essak continued for 2,500,000. Lobo called. Both players then checked on the 8♠ turn.
Both players checked again on the 6♥ river and Lobo showed ace-high with A♣Q♥. However, Essak then turned over A♥K♥ to win the pot with a better ace-high as Lobo was left shaking his head in disbelief.
Here are the updated stacks of the nine remaining players, as per the WSOP LIVE app.
Level: 39
Blinds: 1,000,000/1,500,000
Ante: 1,500,000

The remaining nine players have been sent on a 15-minute break.
Robert Brobyn open-jammed for 9,600,000 in the hijack and Samuel Rannou re-shoved a stack of 9,300,000 in the small blind.
Samuel Rannou: K♠K♣
Robert Brobyn: A♥Q♥
"I'm going to be left with 300,000 after the hand," Brobyn said before the flop landed 7♥5♥10♥ to give him the nut flush.
The board finished out 2♦Q♠ to send Rannou to the rail as Brobyn joked that he was "using reverse psychology on the universe."
"I've cracked the code!" he cheered.
With a Jeevan Lobo raise to 2,500,000 from the button ahead of him, Sebastian Crema moved all in for roughly 6,500,000 from the small blind, which Lobo called.
Sebastian Crema: K♣Q♣
Jeevan Lobo: Q♦5♦
Crema took a commanding lead on the K♦J♣9♠ flop, with Lobo looking for running cards to win outright.
The Q♠ hit the turn, and the A♣ completed the board, giving Crema his double-up.
