Seeing a cutoff raise ahead of him from Nick Pupillo, Adam Hendrix moved all in for 2,250,000 from the small blind. The big blind got out of the way, and Pupillo called.
Adam Hendrix: A♠K♦ 
Nick Pupillo: A♣J♣
A dream situation for Hendrix quickly turned into a nightmare, as the 9♠5♣J♥ flop gave Pupillo the lead.
There was no relief for Hendrix on the 10♠ turn or 2♠ river, seeing him miss out on the final table by one place.
Ole Askeland raised to 300,000 under the gun. It folded to Phil Hellmuth on the button, who three-bet to 1,200,000. After some thought, Askeland moved all in for 4,600,000.
Hellmuth immediately pushed all his chips into the pot for a call, covering his opponent.
Ole Askeland: Q♠J♠
Phil Hellmuth: A♦A♣
The J♦4♦9♣ flop was a sweat for Hellmuth, but his aces survived on the 2♣ turn and 8♥ river to nearly double up and send Askeland to the exit.
Giorgiy Skhulukhiya got his stack of around 2,000,000 into the middle from the big blind, with Nicholas Palma trying to bust him from the button.
Giorgiy Skhulukhiya: J♣10♣
Nicholas Palma: A♥A♠
Skhulukhiya had run into Palma's pocket aces, although he still had a hand with plenty of potential.
The Q♠5♦4♥ flop kept Palma's bullets firmly in front. A K♠ on the turn gave Skhulukhiya a straight draw, but the 7♦ river was a brick, sending him to the rail in 12th place.
Darren Rabinowitz raised to 325,000 from under the gun, and Tom Hall three-bet to 1,400,000 from the small blind. Rabinowitz jammed, and Hall called off his remaining chips.
Tom Hall: A♦9♦
Darren Rabinowitz: A♥Q♠
Hall was dominated by Rabinowitz, and the Q♣6♣J♠ flop left him needing running cards to survive as Rabinowitz hit a queen.
The 8♥ turn gave Hall a gutshot, but the 5♠ river was a brick, ending his run in 13th place.
Max Kingstone raised on the button, seeing Oliver Bosch defend his big blind. Kingstone continued for 300,000 on the Q♣10♦J♥ flop, to which Bosch responded by raising all in for 1,850,000. Kingstone snap-called.
Oliver Bosch: Q♦J♦
Max Kingstone: Q♥10♣
Both players had flopped two pair. Chop outs appeared on the A♦ turn, but the 10♥ river made only Kingstone a full house, sending Bosch to a sour exit.
Darren Rabinowitz opened to 325,000 in middle position, and Connor Belcher moved all in for 700,000 in the cutoff. The action returned to Rabinowitz, and he called.
Connor Belcher: K♠8♠
Darren Rabinowitz: Q♠9♠
Both players flopped a flush draw on the 2♠J♠3♣ flop, but it was Belcher's king-high that earned him a double-up, as the 6♣ and 10♦ completed the board.
Phil Hellmuth raised to 350,000 under the gun, and sitting directly to his left, Tom Hall three-bet to 700,000. When the action returned to Hellmuth, he immediately moved all in, covering Hall's remaining 1,700,000. Hall took stock of his stack and, once he had the count, opted to fold.
When it folded to Adam Hendrix in the small blind, he jammed, and Max Kingstone called all in for his remaining 1,725,000 from the big blind.
Max Kingstone: K♠8♦
Adam Hendrix: Q♥6♦
Kingstone made the correct call with king-high, and the K♥4♣Q♦ flop kept him in front despite both players hitting a pair.
The 7♥ turn and 9♠ river changed nothing, and Kingstone doubled through Hendrix.
Oliver Bosch raised to 300,000 from the hijack, and Adam Hendrix called from the big blind.
Hendrix check-called a continuation-bet of 200,000 from Bosch on the J♠6♦3♣ flop.
The K♣ turn checked through before the 3♥ completed the board. Hendrix led out for 750,000 on the river, and Bosch elected to fold.
