Robert Geith got his shorter stack of 1,350,000 into the middle with the K?Q? and Daniel Zadok looked him up with 10?10? to create a coin flip.
The 8?5?4?7?9? board delivered no help to the overcards and Geith became the latest casualty.

Brian Rast opened the button to 300,000 and Bruno Porto called from the big blind.
They both saw a flop of K?6?Q? which Porto checked, Rast bet 275,000, and Porto check-raised to 725,000. Rast had another bet up his sleeve as he min-raised to 1,175,000, which Porto eventually called.
A 3? fell on the turn and after Porto checked, Rast gathered the remainder of his chips into a single stack and put it into the pot. The bet was 1,650,000 and Porto appeared to have just over that in his stack. It took around six minutes before Porto finally made up his mind and decided to call.
Brian Rast: K?9? 
Bruno Porto: 7?6?
Porto needed some help on the river but the 5? wasn't what he was looking for, which meant Rast doubled up. Brazil's Porto thought he was eliminated but once the stacks were counted down, he learned that he had around 450,000 chips remaining.

Sami Bechahed shoved for his last 525,000 from the cutoff and action folded around to Stephen Song in the big blind, who called to put Bechahed at risk.
Sami Bechahed: Q?10?
Stephen Song: 10?6?
Bechahed had Song dominated, but the K?5?6? flop paired Song's six to put him way out in front.
The 7?9? runout failed to improve Bechahed and Song took the rest of Bechahed's chips.

Bruno Porto made it 800,000 preflop, and left himself 125,000 chips behind. Kyosuke Nagami called and the rest of the table folded. Nagami exposed his cards as he thought that Porto had shoved, but the floor were called and action was allowed to continue with Porto knowing the cards of his opponent.
On the Q?6?7? flop, Porto put his last 125,000 into the pot, and Nagami called.
Bruno Porto: 8?8?
Kyosuke Nagami: A?K?
Porto was 60% of the way to a double-up but the A? turn crushed that hope and left him drawing to just two outs, neither of which appeared on the 9? river.

Yong Han raised it up to more than two million out of the small blind and Cameron Mixson went into the tank in the big blind, as the clock still showed 72 players remaining, after a table had just been broken. The pay jump was worth $20,000 and Mixson eventually called all-in.
Cameron Mixson: Ax9x
Yong Han: A?Q?
The 10?5?5?K?Q? board kept Han ahead all the way and Mixson bowed out in 72nd place.

Arthur Morris raised to 300,000 under the gun before Russell Rosenblum reraised to 3,700,000 in the cutoff, leaving 125,000 behind. "I'm going to jam, I'm just doing this for you to make the pay jump," Morris said.
He eventually moved all in and Rosenblum tanked for several minutes as he waited for someone to bust on another table. He finally heard the shout of "payout" and committed his last chips.
Russell Rosenblum: A?Q?
Arthur Morris: A?K?
Rosenblum was dominated by Morris until the flop brought Q?8?6?, giving him the lead with a pair of queens. The rest of the board ran out 6?7? and Rosenblum doubled up, leaving Morris on a short stack.

Boris Angelov raised to 300,000 in the hijack before Kevin Davis three-bet to 700,000 on the button. Angelov then four-bet to 1,750,000 and Davis called.
Angelov bet another 575,000 on the 10?5?3? flop and Davis called. Both players then checked the 7? turn.
The river 9? was again checked through and Davis showed 6?6?. Angelov tossed ace-king into the muck as Davis took the pot.
