While Jesse Capps involuntarily spilled his cup on the table with one of his ducks, Aaron van Blarcum in the hijack was at risk for approximately 900,000 against Alex Keating to his right.
Aaron van Blarcum: 9♥9♦ 
Alex Keating: A♥J♥
Keating flopped trips on J♦J♠6♠8♣3♠ and sent Van Blarcum to the rail.
Jesse Lonis reported to Pokernews that Joseph Bold raised from middle position with A♠J♣ and Lonis defended the big blind with A♦7♦.
Lonis check-raised on a 7♠5♠A♣ flop where he had made two pair, and Bold called with a pair of aces.
Lonis bet big again on the Q♦ turn with Bold making another call.
The J♦ river completed the board and put Bold ahead with Aces and Jacks. Lonis bet big and Bold called, scooping a massive pot from Lonis.
Shundan Xiao three-bet to 500,000 on the button, Malcolm Franchi in the big blind, and then four-bet jammed for 2,550,000. The initial raiser and any other involved contenders had already folded, and Xiao asked for a count but folded and later mentioned, "I had a big hand."
Meanwhile, Adam Rude has been eliminated while Nevan Chang and Iaron Lightbourne increased their stacks.
Kevin Ordet was at risk with Edward Pak looking to thin down the field and add to his stack.
Kevin Ordet: 5x5x
Edward Pak: A♣10♦
The runout of Q♦6♦A♥10♥A♠ gave Pak a full house, which left Ordet on the sidelines as players approach the last break of the night.
The middle position player meant to make it 100,000, but failed to announce raise thus the action was ruled as a call. This prompted Kevin Killeen to raise to 250,000 from the hijack. Action folded to Brandon Cantu in the small blind and he made it 675,000. The middle position player folded. Killeen moved all in for around 2,400,000 and Cantu quickly called.
Kevin Killeen: KxKx
Brandon Cantu: JxJx
Cantu was in rough shape and remained behind after the Q♦2♦2♣ flop. However, the J♣ turn saw Cantu make a full house to take the lead ahead of the 3♣ river.
Cantu didn't even bother stacking his chips, and after pulling off the suckout, he went for a quick walk around the Horseshoe Events Centre.
Christopher Brammer raised to 105,000 from the cutoff with K♦K♣ and Ryan Sang three-bet to 300,000 with A♠9♠ from the button. Brammer four-bet to 725,000 and Sang folded.
A few hands later Brammer raised to 105,000 from a middle position and Sang moved all in for 1,255,000 from the hijack.
Ryan Sang: A♥K♦
Christopher Brammer: J♠J♥
The flop came 10♥8♠5♥ which didn't change too much. The 5♦ turn and Q♦ couldn't save Sang and he bust the tournament.
Nazar Buhaiov raised to 100,000 in early position and Brad Anderson called. Adam Kharman then moved all in for 740,000 on the button, Buhaiov reshoved, and Anderson folded.
Adam Kharman: 9♣9♦
Nazar Buhaiov: Q♦Q♥
Kharman was dominated by Buhaiov's queens as the Q♠6♥10♦ flop put him further behind Buhaiov's set. The rest of the board came A♥K♣ and Buhaiov took another pot to send Kharman to the rail.
Stephen Song raised to 100,000 from under the gun and action folded to Arthur Morris, who shoved for his last 390,000. Song verified the amount and called to put Morris at risk.
Arthur Morris: A♠Q♠
Stephen Song: Q♣J♥
Song found himself dominated, and the 6♦6♠8♥Q♥A♦ runout needlessly improved Morris to aces-up for the double up.
Charles Alex-Barton was sitting under the gun and covered Julio Trimmer's jam for 1,450,000 from a middle position.
Julio Trimmer: 9♠9♥
Charles Alex-Barton: A♠K♦
The flop came 5♦Q♠7♦ and Trimmer stayed ahead with nines.
The 5♥ turn and 3♣ river kept Trimmer in and gave him the double.
John Ciccarelli opened to 100,000 from middle position and Nazar Buhaiov three-bet to 240,000 in the cutoff. Ciccarelli responded by moving all in with Buhaiov snapping off for his stack of 1,020,000.
Nazar Buhaiov: A♣A♦
John Ciccarelli: K♣K♥
It was the worst of the preflop coolers and one that Ciccarelli was unable to recover from after the board ran out Q♥3♥7♦4♥Q♣ to keep the rockets best, leaving Ciccarelli with crumbs.
