Nadir Lalji was recently eliminated.
Lalji got the last of his chips in from the small blind with ace-jack and was called by Quang Hoang Ngo who held ace-six. Despite being ahead preflop Ngo got the best of it by the river to send Lalji to the rail and take the pot.

Wei Han Zhang opened from the cutoff and received a call from Andrew D'Amato in the small blind.
Both players checked the flop and turn leading to a final board of J?6?J?K?5?. D'Amato checked, Zhang bet 415,000 and D'Amato called.
Zhang tabled J?10? for trip jacks which was good enough to take the pot while D'Amato was left with under two big blinds.

With two players seeing a board of 8?Q?5?4?9? and roughly 1,300,000 in the middle, Jordan Schneible checked from the big blind and Brian Bond bet 675,000 from the hijack, putting Schneible deep into the tank.
Schneible cut out calling chips as he pondered his decision. A few more minutes went by.
"Sorry guys" Schneible, clearly in a difficult spot, said to his tablemates.
Eventually Schneible opted to fold and Bond took down a sizable pot without showdown.

Jordan Schneible opened from middle position and received a call from Gorkem Sari in the big blind.
The flop came A?6x4x. Sari checked, Schneible bet 70,000, Sari check-raised to 210,000 and Schneible called.
On the 5? turn Sari bet 330,000 and once again Schneible made the call.
The river was the J?. Sari bet 540,000 and was once again called by Schneible. Sari immediately mucked his hand and although he didn't have to, Schneible turned over 7x7x for just a pair of sevens to take down a colossal pot.

With two players seeing a board of A?9?8? and roughly 300,000 already in the middle, Sergey Hovakimyan checked from the small blind and Jordan Schneible bet 205,000 from the hijack. Hovakimyan moved all in for 1,005,000 and Schneible quickly called with a covering stack.
Sergey Hovakimyan: A?9?
Jordan Schneible: A?8?
Both players had flopped aces up but Hovakimyan was ahead with top two pair. The J? turn and K? river changed nothing and Hovakimyan dragged in a massive pot while making a dent in Schneible's stack, which is still above average despite the setback.
