Anatoly Zlotnikov was already all in preflop for his last 400,000 from the hijack against Toby Joyce, who had Zlotnikov covered from the cutoff.
Anatoly Zlotnikov: A♣K♠7♣5♦
Toby Joyce: A♥10♦9♦8♥
The board ran out 3♥10♠2♦K♥6♥ — improving Joyce to a flush on the river to eliminate Zlotnikov in 27th place.
Diego Romero raised the pot to 105,000 and Dustin Nelson repotted, then called all-in for 435,000 when Romero jammed with the covering stack.
Dustin Nelson: A♥K♠10♦10♣
Diego Romero: A♣K♦J♣4♠
The K♥10♥6♦7♣10♠ board gave Nelson quads for the double in style.
Michael Mizrachi raised to 105,000 and Zarvan Tumboli called. On the K♠4♠2♥ flop, Mizrachi bet 175,000 and Tumboli folded.
Mizrachi flashed aces with the nut flush draw, Tumboli showed him QxQxJx10x.
One hand later, Mizrachi was in the big blind and looked up Zachary Peay from an early position who was at risk for 285,000.
Zachary Peay: A♠A♦K♠10♣
Michael Mizrachi: 10♦10♥8♠7♥
The K♣J♥5♣5♦A♣ board kept Peay ahead all the way and he doubled with aces full of fives.
Farid Jattin raised to 105,000 in the cutoff and Leonardo Daviglus three-bet to 330,000 in the big blind. Jattin made the call.
The flop came J♠7♣Q♠, Daviglus bet 705,000 and Jattin moved all in to put Daviglus at risk, who had 360,000 behind. Daviglus quickly called.
Leonardo Daviglus: A♣A♥K♥Q♦
Farid Jattin: 9♦8♠6♠3♦
Daviglus hit a set of aces on the A♠ turn, but Jattin improved to a flush. Daviglus couldn't fill up on the 5♥ river, and he was sent to the payout desk. Just prior to that, Ivan Starostin had been knocked out as well from a different table.
Ari Engel raised to 105,000 from middle position and was three-bet to 360,000 by Diego Romero in the hijack. Action folded back to Engel, who re-checked his hole cards a few times before sticking in a call.
The flop came 6♣J♦8♣ and Engel led out for a pot-sized wager, which got a quick fold from Romero.
With many chips already in the middle preflop, Diego Romero was then all-in for the last 330,000 on the Q♥7♦5♣ flop and looked up by Diogo Veiga.
Diego Romero: A♣Q♠10♣3♥
Diogo Veiga: A♥K♠4♥3♦
The J♥ turn gave Veiga a lot of outs but the 9♦ river was not among them for Romero to double.
Jesse Lonis opened to 105,000 from the cutoff and called a three-bet of 360,000 from Emmanuel Derecho, who was on the button.
Lonis check-called a 200,000 bet from Derecho on the 4♥4♠9♦ flop and then led out for 225,000 after the 9♥ double paired the board on the turn.
Derecho quickly laid his hand down and Lonis flashed AxKx10x before collecting the pot.
The stacks went into the middle preflop with one of the shorter stacks in the field at risk of elimination, which happened to be Ryutaro Suzuki, who was looked up by table neighbor Toby Joyce.
Ryutaro Suzuki: A♦K♣Q♠5♣
Toby Joyce: A♥A♣10♠6♣
The J♣5♠3♥ flop changed nothing, and the 8♣ turn kept Joyce ahead, who also had the superior flush draw at his disposal. Last but not least, the 9♥ rivered the board, and aces were good to send Suzuki to the rail.
Heads-up on a flop of Q♥7♥4♣ with a few hundred thousand already in the middle, Ari Engel bet 180,000 from early position and was raised by Dustin Nelson in the cutoff. Engel responded by moving all in for 940,000 total and Nelson quickly called to put Engel at risk.
Ari Engel: A♦Q♣Q♠8♠
Dustin Nelson: A♥J♠10♥7♠
Engel had flopped top set, but needed to fade the flush draw of Nelson.
The 4♥ completed Nelson's flush, but simultaneously gave Engel a full house to secure his double up.
An irrelevant 3♠ completed the board and Engel doubled his stack.
Dan Sepiol completed in the small blind and Syed Shah raised to 90,000 in the big blind. Sepiol called and the flop came K♦3♣J♥.
Both players checked to the Q♣ turn, where Sepiol check-called a bet of 125,000 from Shah. The 8♠ fell on the river and Sepiol checked again. Shah thought for a moment before electing to check back.
"King-eight," said Sepiol as he tabled K♠10♠8♣4♥ to take down the pot.
