Allen Cunningham, on the button, called an all-in bet of the hijack preflop.
Hijack: 8♥5♦
Allen Cunningham: A♠6♠
The hijack was ahead on the 10♠5♥7♦ flop. The 9♠ gave both players a straight draw, but it was Cunningham's that came when the 8♣ hit the river to give him the pot.
The players have gone on their final 20-minute break of the day. Players will continue play for another three levels before bagging up for tomorrow.
A player moved all in for 65,000 in the cutoff which saw Mattia Festa call on the button and the big blind move all in for 15,000.
Big Blind: K♥4♠
Button: A♦8♦
Mattia Festa: 7♦7♥
The board ran out A♥9♣7♠ which left his opponents drawing dead on the Q♣ leaving the 4♣ as a mere formality.
At another table, the room could hear the demise of the ever eccentric Rickey Evans as he got in his remaining chips with an ace on an ace high board, only for his opponent to make a straight on the turn and Evans exited the tournament.

The 2♥3♦2♣K♦5♦ board came out clean for Diaz, doubling him up.

Action folded to a player in early position who jammed less than a big blind for 17,000. The player next to act called, Behzad Javadzadeh called, and the big blind checked. The players were off to a flop four ways with one player all in.
The 3♦10♣8♥ flop hit the felt and the first two players to act checked. Javadzadeh was next to act and took his time before announcing "all in" and putting his chips out. The big blind folded and the middle position player thought for awhile before relasing his cards.
The hands were tabled.
All-in Player: 7♣7♥
Behzad Javadzadeh: Q♥10♦
The board ran out clean and Javadzadeh scored a knockout and some much needed chips.

Sean Shah moved in his final 65,000 from the cutoff and action folded around to the big blind who called to put him at risk.
Sean Shah: K♦10♠
Opponent: Q♦9♦
The board ran out Q♠2♥4♣2♠K♣ and Shah spiked the river king to pull back ahead and survive.
At another table, Felipe Ramos was eliminated from the tournament.
