Ori Hasson limped from the small blind and Kevin Song in the big blind checked his option to find a flop of 9♥7♣6♠, which was checked by Hasson.
Song bet 3,000,000 and received a call by Hasson, who checked the 4♣ turn. Song checked back.
Both players checked the 8♥ river, and Hasson flipped over A♠5♣. "Straight," he said, while Song was looking at his own cards before sending them into the muck.
Kevin Song raised to 20,000,000 from the small blind.
Dragos Anton pondered whether he should make the call from the big blind. After a bit, he chose to call all in with less.
Dragos Anton: 10♥9♣
Kevin Song: K♣8♦
Live cards gave Anton a chance, but Song hit a pair of kings on the flop and took the hand in a runout of A♠8♠K♦J♣4♥.
Level: 41
Blinds: 1,000,000/2,000,000
Ante: 2,000,000
The remaining four players are now on their last 15-minute break of the night.
Yita Choong moved all in from the small blind with some 18,000,000 chips. Ori Hasson made the call with a slightly bigger stack.
Yita Choong: K♣6♣
Ori Hasson: A♣K♦
Hasson's edge grew with a pair of aces on the flop on a runout 2♠A♠3♦2♦7♦ that ended Choong's tournament.
Safwane Bahri in the small blind opened to 5,000,000. Kevin Song in the big blind went into the tank and called.
After Bahri checked a flop of 9♠4♠7♥, Song bet 5,000,000. Bahri called and checked the 8♦ turn.
Song went into the tank again and moved all-in for 34,900,000. Bahri made a face but quickly called with 28,500,000.
Safwane Bahri: K♠K♦
Kevin Song: A♦A♠
Bahri ran his kings into aces, and even if his rail was asking for a king, the Q♦ river completed the board and he was eliminated.
Kevin Song raised to 3,000,000 under the gun. Safwane Bahri made the call defending the big blind.
The flop hit 7♣4♣10♥.
After Song checked, Bahri moved all in with 16,200,000 chips in his stack. Song didn't hesitate to make the call.
Safwane Bahri: 10♦5♦
Kevin Song: A♣2♣
Bahri had a pair of tens, but Song had a flush draw, an overcard with the ace and some backdoor possibilities.
None of those came to fruition, though, as the board ran out with the K♦J♦ on the turn and river to give Bahri a significant double-up.
Todd Lewis jammed for 7,000,000 from middle position. Yita Choong in the small blind raised all-in and Ori Hasson in the big blind folded.
Todd Lewis: K♣J♥
Yita Choong: A♣J♣
With the rail cheering as loudly as it did on the Main Event final table, Choong flopped a flush on 3♣10♣2♣10♠7♥ to eliminate Lewis.
Most of the players balked at the original plan to shut down after the current level.
So, the tournament director just informed the players that the day's play will end at 2 a.m., regardless of how many players are still alive in the event.
