In a blind versus blind pot, the flop read J♠3♠Q♠ when Champie Douglas bet 300,000 and got called by David "ODB" Baker. The same action happened on the 9♣ turn, this time for 1,300,000.
The K♠ hit the river and both checked. Douglas flipped over J♥9♠ for the flush and Baker just sent his cards into the muck.
Joining the action on the turn, the board read, A♣7♠3♠6♣ and Roberto Romanello in the under-the-gun position announced all in and Powen Fang called from late position.
Roberto Romanello: J♠K♠
Powen Fang: 7♥7♦
The 8♥ came on the river and did not give Romanello the flush and Fang's set of sevens won the pot
Andreas Kniep opened to 500,000 and Charles Benoit shoved on the button. Blair Hinkle called all in from the small blind for his last 1,000,000 and Kniep let it go.
Blair Hinkle: A♣3♥
Charles Benoit: A♦A♥
Hinkle couldn't find any miracle throughout the 5♦J♥10♥9♣9♥ runout and he was eliminated from the tournament.
Andreas Kniep raised under the gun to 500,000 and it folded to Scott Weinstein in the big blind who made a three-bet worth 1,575,000. Kniep considered his options for a minute and announced all in, putting Weinstein at risk for his remaining stack of around 2,600,000. The latter snap-called.
Scott Weinstein: K♥K♣
Andreas Kniep: A♦A♠
The runout didn't bring any surprise with 10♣7♣6♥4♣Q♦ and Weinstein made his way to the payout desk while Kniep climbed to around 26,000,000.
In a blind versus blind situation, Charles Benoit shoved for his last 2,800,000 and Blair Hinkle tanked for some time before making the call:
Charles Benoit: Q♦J♠
Blair Hinkle: K♣9♣
Hinkle had the best starting hand, but the board revealed Q♦3♦J♥2♥6♣ to give two pair to Benoit and the double up.
Roberto Romanello raised to 700,000 in the hijack position and Gregory Fournier three-bet all in for about 2,000,000. Romanello made the call.
Gregory Fournier: 7♦7♥
Roberto Romanello: A♠Q♠
The flop came in favor of Romanello with 6♦Q♥10♣ and Fournier was looking to hit a set on the next two streets but the turn was the J♥ and the river was the K♥ which sent Fournier to the rail and left Romanello in a better chip position. The average chip stack right now is 6,676,923 and Romanello was just above that.
Arnaud Mattern raised to 425,000 from the button, and Javier Zarco three bet to 1,725,000. Mattern made the call.
The flop came 6♠Q♦K♣ and Zarco continued for 975,000. Mattern was quick to call.
The turn was the 5♥. Zarco jammed all in for 3,950,000 to put Mattern to a decision. After carefully considering, he folded his hand for Zarco to scoop the pot.
All the chips went in the middle preflop between Jinhua Li, holding A♦K♦ and at risk with a stack of around 5,500,000, and Vitor De Souza Coutinho, who had Q♦Q♠ and had him covered.
Li was calling for an ace but the board showed 2♠8♠5♦8♥4♠ and he was sent to the payout desk.
