Damian Salas was all in for 2,170,000 and up against Seungmook Jung.
Damian Salas: 
Seungmook Jung: 
The 
flop gave Jung a pair, but he improved no further as the board ran out 
. The 2020 Main Event champion loudly clapped his hands as he secured a double up.

Rudy Cervantes: 
Timothy McDermott: 
The flop came 
and Cervantes was still out front with his pair of tens. The 
on the turn changed nothing and McDermott was down to six outs.
"Barry Greenstein one time!" McDermott cheered, hoping for the classic ace on the river. However, it was the that completed the board and Cervantes survived elimination.
Zilong Zhang opened to 200,000 from middle position and was called by Cedrric Trevino in the big blind.
Trevino checked on the 
flop and then raised to 470,000 when Zhang continued for 180,000. After some thought Zhang called.

Zilong Zhang: 
Cedrric Trevino:
Zhang was in bad shape as many of his potential outs were covered by Trevino holding a club. The river bricked out 
, ending what has certainly been a memorable main event journey for Zhang, though one that will inevitably be tainted with disappointment considering he came into the day with nearly double the tournament average.

Oliver Weis: 
Karim Rebei:
"I take a king on the river ... or maybe on the flop," Rebei joked right before the flop fell 
. Nothing changed on the turn and the 
river to send a gutted Weis to the payout desk.
