Avery Williams opened from early position and faced Safwane Bahri who defended from the big blind.
The dealer fanned a flop of 9♠6♥6♣ and Williams continued for 900,000. Bahri check-raised to 2,400,000 and made Williams fold.
Ian Steinman on the button jammed for 5,300,000. Stephen Decker in the small blind three-bet all-in and made the big blind fold.
Ian Steinman: A♥4♣ 
Stephen Decker: A♦Q♠
Decker hit two pair on a board of 5♦K♠Q♦7♠7♥ to send Steinman to the rail.
Yannick Schumacher raised to 4,825,000 from middle position, holding onto a shortstack of 250,000.
Dragos Anton three-bet all in for just under 10,000,000.
Action folded to Schumacher, who stalled for a bit waiting on a potential pay jump. The clock was called on him and he beat the countdown with the call.
Yannick Schumacher: A♥8♥
Dragos Anton: A♠J♦
The runout Q♦4♠4♦3♥2♠ missed both players, giving Anton the win with his jack kicker.
As consolation, Schumacher did realize the pay jump, as someone on the other table was eliminated just as he made his all-in call.
Benjamin Zamani raised to 1,200,000 from middle position and was looked up by Kevin Song in the big blind.
The flop came Q♠5♦2♠ and the action went check, check for the 3♠ to peel off on the turn.

Benjamin Zamani: A♦A♥
Kevin Song: K♠9♠
Song had turned the second nuts and had Zamani drawing dead. The 6♠ sealed the deal and Zamani was sent to the rail in 18th place.

Ankit Ahuja raised to 5,000,000 from middle position.
Avery Williams moved all in from the cutoff with 6,900,000. Ahuja made the call.
Avery Williams: A♥Q♠
Ankit Ahuja: A♣J♠
Williams' edge didn't hold on the flop J♣3♦9♦, but the Q♥ literally turned the hand back around. The 6♦ on the river mattered not, and Williams gained a huge boost in chips.
Cut down to just 675,000, Ahuja went all in under the gun a few hands later against Ian Steinman on the button.
Ankit Ahuja: 10♠6♦
Ian Steinman: A♣9♦
The runout 2♣K♦J♣3♥5♣ didn't save Ahuja, and he was eliminated just shy of the final two tables.
Alan Helfenstein made it 1,200,000 to play from the hijack and action folded to Kevin Song, in the small blind, who three-bet to 2,750,000. Helfenstein made the call.
The flop came 9♥Q♥10♥ and Song check-called Helfenstein's 2,500,000 continuation-bet for the J♦ to peel off on the turn.
Song checked it over to Helfenstein once more who moved all in and was snap-called by Song.
Kevin Song: A♥J♥
Alan Helfenstein : A♠Q♠
Song had Helfenstein drawing stone dead and had flopped the nut flush. The 3♠ sealed the deal on the river and the stacks were counted out as it was a close call. Helfenstein had Song covered but only by 50,000 so was left with less than a bowl of rice to play with.
Leonardo Rizzo shoved all-in for 4,100,000 from the cutoff. Ori Hasson in the small blind raised all-in for 6,500,000 and Jonathan Pastore in the big blind called both stacks.
Leonardo Rizzo: K♠8♥
Ori Hasson: J♠J♣
Jonathan Pastore: A♥Q♥
Hasson's jacks held on 6♣3♠3♥5♠2♦ so he almost tripled up while Rizzo was eliminated.
