Alejandro Lococo was all in for 810,000 from the big blind, against Raymond Xu on the button.
Alejandro Lococo: K♠K♣
Raymond Xu: A♠A♦
A Q♣3♣A♥ flop was not looking good for Lococo as Xu flopped a set.
The 9♥ turn sealed his fate and he stood from the table as the dealer placed the K♦ river.
There were already around 350,000 chips in the pot on the turn with the board reading A♠2♥5♠2♦ when Dennis Ng checked, and David Miscikowski fired 160,000. Ng then made a very small raise to 325,000, and Miscikowski called.
A K♥ filled out the board on the river and Ng shoved for 505,000. Miscikowski thought about it a while and elected to call, which put Ng at risk.
Ng sheepishly turned over 8♠6♦ for eight-high, and Miscikowski revealed A♦J♦ for a pair of aces, which eliminated Ng.
Jerome Zerbib opened to 60,000 from early position and Richard Dixon shoved for his last 260,000 from the hijack. Action folded back around to Zerbib, who verified the amount and stuck in a call to put Dixon at risk.
Richard Dixon: 5♥5♦
Jerome Zerbib: Q♥10♥
The 10♠4♠J♣K♥J♠ runout paired Zerbib's ten to leave him best and Dixon was eliminated.
"That guy's my coach," Zerbib said as he pointed to fellow tablemate Ren Lin.
Action folded to Olivier Chaume in a middle position who raised to 60,000 with A♥5♥. Arthur Morris looked down at K♠K♦ and three-bet to 175,000 from the small blind.
Chaume four-bet to 375,000 and Morris moved all in for 1,340,000. Chaume folded and Morris chipped up.
Jonathan Little was on the button and got his last 500,000 in the middle against Kyosuke Nagami in the small blind.
Jonathan Little: AxQx
Kyosuke Nagami: A♣K♠
Little was dominated as the 9♦8♠8♣ flop left open the possibility of a chop. The 6♥ turn was no help, while the 2♣ fell on the river to mark the end of Little's Main Event.
In a single-raised pot on a flop of 9♥2♥J♠, Guillermo Sanchez Otero check-called a bet of 125,000 from Luis Dorneles.
A Q♣ came on the turn and after Otero checked for a second time, Dorneles fired 300,000 into the middle. Otero took his time then made the call.
The 4♥ river brought in the flush draw which saw both players check.
Otero tabled K♠10♦ for a straight, and Dorneles flashed Qx10x before he sent his cards into the muck.
Heads-up to the K♣Q♠8♠6♣ turn, Aleksejs Ponakovs checked in the big blind. Ryan Sang on the button bet 225,000 and Ponakovs check-raised to 530,000. Sang wasted little time before moving all-in and Ponakovs folded near instantly.
Below are further assorted counts in the field.
After loosing most of his stack in a previous bad beat, Adrian Mateos was all in for 255,000 from middle position and was called by James Tian to his direct left.
Adrian Mateos: 2♥2♣
James Tian: 7♦7♣
The 8♦5♣J♣A♠Q♥ runout didn't improve Mateos, and his time in the main event came to an end.
Phil Ivey's run in the Main Event just came to an end at the hands of Zakhar Galper, and the table filled in the details.
According to a player at the table, Galper raised before Ivey jammed for 400,000 with two jacks. Galper called with AxQx and the flop came Kx9x9x. The A♠ fell on the turn to give Galper the lead with two pair, and Ivey couldn't hit his two-outer on the river to stay alive as the 11-time bracelet winner was sent to the rail.
