Juha Helppi raised from the hijack to 16,000, and Cedric Schwaederle three-bet all in for 73,000. Helppi called.
Cedric Schwaederle: A♠8♠ 
Juha Helppi: K♠Q♦
The board arrived with 5♥10♠Q♠J♥4♥, and Helppi won with a pair of queens.
John Villanueva open-jammed on the button for 27,000 and Chongxian Yang called in the big blind with the covering stack.
John Villanueva: J♥J♠
Chongxian Yang: 10♣9♥
The flop came 9♦Q♠3♥, giving Yang a pair of nines. The turn landed the 3♣ and Villanueva was in great shape to double up, but the river fell the 9♠, giving Yang trip nines to send Villanueva packing.
At a nearby table, action picked up on the river with a sizable pot brewing between Luis Faria in the cutoff and Linglin Zeng in the small blind.
With over 400,000 already in the middle and the board reading 5♠8♠9♥3♥4♣, Zeng checked and Faria moved all in for about 600,000. Zeng, who had slightly less, went into the tank before eventually making the call with A♠A♥.
She saw the bad news when Faria tabled 7♣6♣ for the straight, with him scooping a massive pot in the process.
Since both hands occurred on the stone bubble, Villanueva and Zeng split a min-cash.
Daniel Palau Vicente opened to 16,000 on the button before Michael Jozoff went all-in for 136,000 from the small blind. Chih Fan went all-in for 182,000 out of the big blind, which resulted in a fold from Vicente to send Jozoff and Fan to a showdown with Jozoff at risk.
Michael Jozoff: Q♠Q♦
Chih Fan: A♣K♠
Fan found a king on the flop, but it came with a queen when the dealer fanned out 4♣K♦Q♣ to give Jozoff a set and Fan top pair.
The 6♣ river was ominous as it gave Fan a flush draw, but the A♥ river was not enough to knock out Jozoff as he secured the double up.
Yang Zhou moved all in from the small blind for 78,000, and Daniel Smiljkovic called from the big blind.
Yang Zhou: Q♦Q♠
Daniel Smiljkovic: A♥10♣
The board fell with 3♣9♣9♠A♦6♣, and Daniel Smiljkovic won with the higher two-pair.
Renat Bohdanov got it all in preflop for 60,000 in the small blind against Ellie Mirzaei in the cutoff, who covered.
Renat Bohdanov: A♠A♣
Ellie Mirzaei: A♥Q♠
Bohdanov's pocket aces proved to be best as the board ran out 8♠10♦Q♥10♣9♥, earning him the double up.
Gabriel Andrade raised from the cutoff to 16,000, Elia Ahmadian three-bet to 53,000, and Giorgos Onisiforou four-bet all in for 390,000. Andrade folded, and Ahmadian went into quite a long think tank before calling for his tournament life, near the bubble.
Elia Ahmadian: 10♠10♣
Giorgos Onisiforou: A♣8♦
The board favoured Ahmadian with A♠5♦7♣10♥9♣, and he would double his stack right before the bubble.

Josh Arieh raised to 12,000 in the cutoff, Manuel Pochat three-bet jammed for 45,000 in the small blind, and Justin Young thought for a moment before folding. Arieh made the call.
Manuel Pochat: 6♠6♥
Josh Arieh: J♥J♦
As the cards were tabled, Young mentioned that he folded ace-queen.
Arieh's jacks remained in the lead all the way as the board ran out 4♥4♠A♥A♣7♣, sending Pochat to the rail.
"I didn't realize I was such a nit until just now," said Young.
David Miscikowski was first to act and raised to 12,000. Justin "JC" Tran three-bet to 35,000 from the next seat over before Miscikowski called.
The 2♥2♦J♦ flop led to a check from Miscikowski. Tran continued for 18,000 and was called.
Both players knuckled the K♦ turn to bring the J♣ river. Miscikowski bet 20,000 on the river.
Tran called, and Miscikowski tabled a full house with A♠J♠ as Tran tapped the table, then mucked his hand.
