The action folded to Anatoly Chen in the small blind who moved all in for 5,200,000 and was instantly called by the bigger stack of Tomas Patka in the big blind.
Anatoly Chen: A?J?
Tomas Patka: Q?Q?
Chen had a hand well at the top of his range but unluckily ran into a better one for Patka. The board ran out K?J?5?3?9? and the queens held up to send Chen out in fourth for the first six-figure payday.

The action folded to Rubens Sellam who moved all in for 4,050,000 on the button. The small blind quickly folded and Anatoly Chen went deep in the tank. After over a minute of thought, Chen made the call for half his stack to put Sellam at risk.
Rubens Sellam: A?J?
Anatoly Chen: K?10?
It was a fair fight with both players having live cards, but when the board ran out 9?8?3?8?6?, the ace-jack held up for Sellam to score the full double up and leave Chen the shortest stack.

Tomas Patka opened to 800,000 from the button with K?Q? and only Daisuke Ogita made the call in the big blind with 8?6?.
The flop fanned out 8?8?2? and both players checked their options to the 5? turn. Ogita elected to take the lead with a bet of 700,000 and Patka came along.
The 2? completed the board and Ogita fired out for 2,550,000. Patka went deep in the tank, but after over a minute of deliberation, reluctantly made the fold and the pot was sent to Ogita.

Daisuke Ogita opened to 850,000 from under the gun and Quentin Laugt moved all in from the cutoff for 2,975,000. The rest of the table got out of the way and Ogita made the call to put Laugt at risk.
Quentin Laugt: A?Q?
Daisuke Ogita: 10?7?
Laugt was slightly ahead but would need to dodge the outs for Ogita to stay alive. The flop came 9?6?5? and although Ogita only held ten-high, was the statistical favorite to win the hand with his straight and flush draw. The 2? was a safe turn for Laugt, however, the A? hit the river and Ogita made a flush to send Laugt out in fifth place.

The action folded to Daisuke Ogita in the small blind who opened for 850,000 with A?9? and Quentin Laugt completed from the big blind with A?9?.
The flop came K?Q?Q? and Ogita continued for 500,000, which Laugt came along. The 6? hit the turn and Ogita checked over to Laugt who took the bait with a bet of 1,400,000. Ogita pondered with his nut-flush and eventually made the call.
The 4? completed the board and Ogita checked again. Laugt continued his story with a bet of 2,300,000 and Ogita moved all in, covering the 3,180,000 remaining for Laugt, who quickly let his hand go.

Stefan Dimitrov: A?J?
Daisuke Ogita: A?A?
Dimitrov ran into a cooler situation against the rockets for Ogita and when the board ran out 9?5?2?5?9?, the aces held up for Ogita to send Dimitrov out in sixth place.
