Dash Dudley: A♠A♦8♦2♦
Elias Harala: J♠9♠8♥4♥
Dudley was ahead with his aces until the board ran out K♣J♦, giving Harala two pair on the river and sending last year's runner-up to the rail a few spots short of the money.

[Removed:422] limped in and then called a pot-sized raise by Alex Foxen for 270,000 from the next seat.
On a flop of 8♦6♠4♣, Soyirgaz jammed for 385,000 and Foxen called.
[Removed:422]: K♣K♠Q♠J♠
Alex Foxen: A♠K♦J♦8♠
The 2♠ turn and 10♣ river secured the double for Soyirgaz to leave Foxen with just 185,000 in chips.
Foxen opened to 180,000 one hand later and Danny Hannawa defended the big blind, then tossed in a single chip on the J♣9♥2♦ flop for Foxen to call all-in.
While they waited, Hannawa was asked "have so many people ever cheered for you, Danny?" Once the other tables completed the action, the cards were revealed.
Alex Foxen: A♦Q♠5♠3♣
Danny Hannawa: J♥9♦8♣7♥
Hannawa was ahead with two pair and made a straight on the 10♣ turn and 10♦ river runout. Foxen was out before the money while $25,000 PLO High Roller bubble boy Hannawa retained his chances of a deep run.

Chris Lee was down to around 140,000 and got the rest of his chips in the middle against Tyler Brown.
Chris Lee: A♦A♥K♦10♠
Tyler Brown: K♠Q♠7♦5♠
The 3♦Q♣5♥ flop was a disaster for Lee as Brown hit two pair and left Lee needing help in order to avoid busting short of the money.
The turn came the 9♦ and Lee picked up several outs. He hit one of them on the J♣ river, making a straight to double up.
"That's the best turn card you've seen in 20 years," Jared Bleznick told him.
"I'll take what I can get," a grateful Lee replied.

Elias Harala raised it up and then folded to a pot-sized three-bet by Isaac Haxton.
The next raise by Harala was called by Jared Bleznick in the big blind as they headed to the J♣8♠7♣ flop. Bleznick check-called for 150,000 and both then checked it down. Bleznick tabled his K♠J♥10♥8♦ for jacks and eights, which won the pot.

Anthony Marsico got his 550,000 chips in preflop and [Removed:422] was the one to look him up.
Anthony Marsico: K♥K♣Q♠4♦
[Removed:422]: A♦A♣6♦4♠
It was looking grim for Marsico, but the J♣10♦J♠ flop gave him some hope in the form of an open-ender. The turn 6♠ did nothing for him, but the river 9♣ granted him the straight and the winner.
He doubled up and yelled "Let's go, baby!" as hand-for-hand plays continues.

On the tail end of a heads-up pot to the 9♥8♥7♦2♣7♥ river, Elias Harala bet 600,000 into a pot of around 1,000,000 from an early position. Jonas Kronwitter on the button went into the tank and used three time bank extensions before folding.
"Show the bluff," fellow Finnish player Elias Pärssinen demanded but Harala just raked in the pot with a smile on the face.
