Asher Conniff made it 240,000 to go from an early position and then called the shove by Imran Bhojani out of the blinds for 3,340,000 in total, which represented a decent portion of his stack and recent profit.
Imran Bhojani: 
Asher Conniff: 
Once the flop brought 
, Bhojani asked for hearts but wasn't too unhappy about the 
turn either. What followed was the blank 
on the river and Bhojani remained in contention.
George Turner opened to 240,000 in middle position and Tyler Hirschfeld shipped all in for 920,000 from the small blind Turner asked for a count and then called to put Hirschfeld at risk.
Tyler Hirschfeld: 
George Turner: 
The flop came 
and Hirschfeld held the lead with his pocket nines. The 
on the turn gave Turner some more outs and he proceeded to ask Hirschfeld what he thought the river would be.
"An ace," Hirschfeld guessed. Indeed it was the 
on the river that gave Turner the best hand and Hirschfeld was eliminated.
With over 1,500,000 in the pot on a 
completed board, Dingxiang Ong bet 800,000 in the big blind. William Smith was in middle position and thought for a bit before putting in the calling chips.
Ong revealed 
to take the pot with a straight, while Smith flashed 
before his cards went into the muck.
Igor Ioffe shoved for 1,070,000 from the hijack as action folded around to Philippe Souki in the big blind who called.
Igor Ioffe: 
Philippe Souki: 
Souki jumped ahead on the flop with a pair of jacks. "I have to stand up. It worked the last three times," Ioffe said as he got up from his seat.
The 
on the turn improved Souki to two pair as Ioffe wished the table luck before being informed he could still catch a ten. The river, though, came the 
and Ioffe didn't get any help.
After a failed bluff against Tom Kunze just a few hands earlier, Victor Li has shown no signs of slowing down. Li opened to 240,000 from middle position and received a single call from Efthymia Litsou out of the big blind.
Action checked through the flop to the turn where Litsou checked for a second time. Li responded by leading out for 450,000 and Litsou called.
The 
river saw Litsou check once again. Li, not wanting to go to a cheap showdown, bet a hefty 2,000,000 and Litsou wasted little time in folding.
Rahul Rastogi ended up getting his stack of approximately 2,190,000 in from early position and was at risk against Matija Dobric under the gun.
Rahul Rastogi:
Matija Dobric:
The two were racing, and the 
flop vaulted Rastogi in front as he did a small celebration, but just as quickly, the 
spiked the turn to leave him drawing dead to the 
river, putting an end to the Aussie's deep Main Event run.
Just before the field went on the dinner break, two of the shortest stacks in the field got their chips in and it was Jack Allen at risk against Jorge Hou with the cards already flipped over.
Jack Allen: 
Jorge Hou:
Both hit a pair on the 
flop and Allen even made two pair with the 
turn. However, the 
on the river improved Hou to a flush and Allen departed in 68th place.
Victor Li opened to 240,000 from early position and was called by Tom Kunze on the button as well as Efthymia Litsou out of the small blind.
The flop came and Litsou checked. Li continued for 375,000 and was called by Kunze. Litsou responded with a raise to 1,100,000 only to see Li re-raise to 2,400,000. That action was enough to get a quick fold from Kunze. Undeterred, Litsou moved all in and Li called with the effective stack for his tournament life.
Victor Li: 
Efthymia Litsou: 
Though at risk, Li was way ahead but the turn did give Litsou a gutshot. The river completed a safe board for Li who, after enduring a tough hour or so of play, heads into the dinner break on a high.
Heads-up in a blind-on-blind battle with the board showing 
, Dingxiang Ong bet 175,000 before Cameron Blazevich raised to 700,000.
Ong called as the river came the . Blazevich shoved for 3,990,000 and Ong went into the tank.
Ong shuffled his chips for several minutes as the rest of the field headed off on dinner break, while Blazevich stood motionless with his face covered by his hoodie. Ong eventually folded.
"Well played. You could let me know after," Ong said before joining the field on break.
In the last hand before the dinner break, Asher Conniff defended the big blind against a raise by the joint chip leader at the table Kamal Bittar. On the 
flop, Conniff check-called a bet and then check-jammed the turn when facing another bet of what appeared to be 750,000.
Bittar called and put Conniff at risk for 3,610,000.
Asher Conniff: 
Kamal Bittar:
The river was a blank and Conniff secured the double, putting a dent into the big stack of Bittar.
