Ren Lin got his last 80,000 into the middle from the button, at risk against Yubin Tao in the big blind.
Ren Lin: Q♠9♣ 
Yubin Tao: A♥9♦
Lin had the dominated hand as he pleaded for a Lady Gaga. Unfortunately for him, the A♠6♥5♥ flop left him drawing slim. The board ran out A♦4♣, and Tao improved to trips to eliminate Lin.
"See you at the strip club!" Lin said to the table as he departed the tournament area.
Ryan Riess raised to 25,000 in early position. Brad Ruben then three-bet to 73,000 on the button. Riess tanked for minutes on end, well into the break, before he called.
He then check-called Ruben's continuation-bet of 53,000 on the 10♦5♥9♥ flop, after which the A♣ turn went check, check.
Riess led out for a tiny bet of 30,000 on the 10♥ river, but it was enough to let Ruben lay his hand down.
The two guessed at each other's hands, but neither of them was willing to provide a conclusive answer as they headed into their shortened break.
Malo Latinois raised to 25,000 in the cutoff, and Tsz Chau moved all in for 216,000 on the button. Garett Maybery then four-bet jammed his own stack from the big blind, which folded out Latinois.
Tsz Chau: K♦J♠
Garett Maybery: A♠Q♣
The Q♠A♦5♣ flop provided Chau with a straight draw, but it wasn't to be, as the 7♥ turn and 8♦ river bricked out.
Three players saw a flop of J♠3♥7♥ when Antonio Galiana bet 42,000 from the cutoff. Thomas Cardona then moved all in for 358,000 on the button, and the table folded back around to Galiana who snap-called.
Thomas Cardona: 7♦7♠
Antonio Galiana: Q♥Q♦
Cardona turned over a flopped set against Galiana's queens. The turn was the 9♠, and the 7♣ river improved Cardona to quads to secure him the double up.
"Jackpot," a tablemate said.
Caitlin Comeskey opened to 25,000 from middle position and was called by Jaime Lewin in the cutoff.
Lewin called a 42,000 bet from Comeskey on the 2♦6♠2♣ flop and then Comeskey announced she was all in on the K♦ turn, which was enough to put Lewin all in for his last 200,000.
Lewin went deep into the tank and Comeskey eventually called the clock on him. Lewin folded before the floorman could start a count and Comeskey was sent the pot.
With around 350,000 already in the pot on a board of 8♦J♣4♠Q♥10♥, Martin Kinder fired 150,000 from early position, and Ali Ayub sank deep into the tank on the button.
Searching for an answer, Ayub looked across the table and asked, "What is it, nines or tens?" Kinder offered no response.
The agony dragged on for Ayub as he repeatedly apologized to the rest of the table for taking so long.
After another minute or so, Ayub asked the same question again.
"What is it, nines or tens?"
This time Kinder broke his silence with, "Which do you want it to be?"
Even that wasn't enough to settle Ayub's mind. Before acting, he stood up, looked down at his chips and said, "Oh man, I'm such a donkey!"
Eventually, Ayub committed around half of his stack with the call.
His read had been spot on. Kinder tabled 9♣9♥ for a rivered straight, while Ayub revealed A♠Q♦, having been ahead with top pair on the turn.
On a flop of A♠5♥3♥, Patrice Brandt got his short stack into the middle with Q♥9♥ against the A♥K♣ of Antonis Onoufriou.
The 9♦ turn gave Brandt more outs but the A♦ river instead improved Onoufriou to trips aces for the knockout.
Mason "The Milkman" Vieth opened to 30,000 from under the gun and called a three-bet of 80,000 from John Petro in middle position for a bloated heads-up pot.
Vieth check-called a 35,000 bet from Petro on the A♦9♣A♥ flop and then both players checked on the 3♥ turn.
Vieth checked a final time on the 5♣ river and Petro stuck a bet of 135,000 into the middle Vieth quickly send his cards into the middle and Petro collected the pot.
