James Chen (US) raised to 500,000 from under the gun, Christopher Vitch called on the button before Matthew Shepsky made it 2,200,000 from the small blind. Chen folded but Vitch made the call.
Action checked as the flop came 3♥Q♣5♥, then Shepsky asked how much was in the pot and announced roughly 5,000,000 when the J♣ hit the turn and Vitch quickly folded.
Jeremy Kerbel raised to 600,000 from the cutoff, Steven Abitbol called in the small blind, then the big blind folded and the dealer fanned out a flop of K♥A♠K♦.
Abitbol checked to Kerbel, and he checked behind; the 5♣ on the turn saw the same action, and both players checked. The 3♠ on the river saw Abitbol lead for 250,000 and Kerbel quickly called.
Abitbol tabled 9♥9♠8♥7♠ for kings and nines, but Kerbel tabled A♣J♣8♦6♦ for aces and kings to take the pot.
Nick Pupillo got it all in from the cutoff, with big blind Sergio Giha also all in with a covering stack.
Nick Pupillo: A♥Q♦J♦9♠ 
Sergio Giha: A♣6♣5♥2♥
The 5♣K♠K♦ flop fired Giha into the lead, but he lost it immediately on the K♣ turn, as Pupillo's ace-queen was playing with trips. He needed to fade a club, and did on the 10♠ river to secure a full double.
Level: 31
Blinds: 100,000/200,000
Ante: 200,000
Christopher Vitch raised to 550,000 from the cutoff, Tom Talboom raised to 1,800,000 in the small blind, and Vitch called.
Talboom went all in for 2,200,000 when the flop came 10♣Q♦5♦, and Vitch snap called.
Tom Talboom: Q♥Q♣J♣6♥
Christopher Vitch: A♣J♥9♦8♦
The J♦ on the turn gave Schwartz a flush, meaning Talboom needed to hit a queen or pair the board to win the pot. The 8♠ river was no help, and he was eliminated.
Shawn Stroke potted to 550,000 from the cutoff, and Bernat Carreras Moragrega repotted to 1,900,000 from the button, leaving just 150,000 behind. Action folded back to Stroke, who took quite some time before putting in four pink T-500,000 chips. With some confusion as to whether he had put his opponent all in or not, Stroke repeatedly announced that it was just a call.
The two ended up going off to a flop of 7♥A♥7♦ and this time Stroke put his opponent all in. Carreras, clearly unhappy with the flop, flicked in his last chips.
Bernat Carreras Moragrega: K♠K♣Q♦10♣
Shawn Stroke: 9♣7♣6♠3♥
As it turned out, Carreras was worried about the wrong card, as his opponent had flopped trip sevens, and held on the J♣J♦ runout to secure the knockout.
There were roughly 2,500,000 chips in the pot on 9♣7♠Q♠.
Alex Manzano in the small blind went all in for 850,000, and Alex Manzano called from middle position.
Alex Manzano: A♦K♠J♣J♦
Noah Schwartz: A♥K♦7♥6♦
Manzano's pocket jacks were ahead of Schwartz's pair of sevens. The board ran out 9♠ on the turn and the 3♥ on the river to give Manzano a double-up with jacks-up.
Christopher Vitch raised to 550,000 from early position, and Matthew Shepsky called in middle position. The blinds folded, and they went to a flop of 2♥9♣3♠. Vitch checked to Shepsky, who fired out a bet of 775,000, and Vitch called.
Both players decided to check on the 3♦ turn, then Shepsky forced Vitch to fold with a bet of 1,800,000 on the 7♥ river.
Stefan Clemens potted to 550,000 from the cutoff, and his only caller was small blind Steven Abitbol.
The K♥10♣J♠ flop checked through, bringing in the 7♠ turn. Abitbol then led out for 600,000, only for Clemens to push forward his entire stack of 3,400,000.
Despite it being over a pot-sized bet, the dealer placed out the all-in triangle. Thankfully, it would not matter, as Abitbol quickly folded, and Clemens showed K♣K♠Q♠10♠ for top set, an open-ender as well as a spade draw.
On a flop of K♦4♠Q♥, both blinds checked to Christopher Vitch on the button. He bet out for 200,000, then James Chen put in a raise to 1,200,000. Big blind Daniel Grassi moved all in for 2,600,000, and only Chen called.
Daniel Grassi: K♠Q♠J♦5♣
James Chen: A♥J♣10♠9♥
Grassi's two pair was ahead, but he couldn't dodge Chen's wrap, as the 3♣A♣ runout improved him to Broadway to send Grassi packing.
