Alexandre Vuilleumier limped in with 8♠7♣ before Chance Kornuth raised to 660,000 holding A♣9♠. Vuilleumier called to see the 5♦3♠A♥ flop.
He checked over to Kornuth, who continued for 200,000. Vuilleumier called as the 6♣ fell on the turn.
Vuilleumier now led out for 500,000 and Kornuth raised to 1,600,000 with his pair of aces. Vuilleumier then moved all in with a straight draw and Kornuth leaned back in his chair and waited for a count before calling off his last 2,260,000.
The river brought the 6♥ and Vuilleumier missed his draw as Kornuth doubled up.

Action folded to Sean Winter in the small blind who raised enough to put big blind Axel Hallay all in. Hallay took a look at his cards and called for his last 855,000.
Axel Hallay: Q♥3♥
Sean Winter: K♠Q♣
Hallay was dominated and fell further behind on the K♥A♠6♠ flop as Winter made a pair of kings.
"Take off the mic. Ten of hearts on the turn," Chance Kornuth said. "Nah, that's too many outs. Deuce of hearts on the turn."
Sure enough, the 2♥ fell on the turn. "It works every time. It's so sick," Winter said as Hallay picked up a flush draw.
The river, though, came the 10♣ and Hallay, who began the day as an overwhelming chip leader, was eliminated in fourth place.

Sean Winter raised to 975,000 from the cutoff, leaving 1,130,000 behind. Axel Hally then jammed for 3,355,000 from the button. Action folded back to Winter who called for his tournament life.
Sean Winter: K♠10♠
Axel Hallay: 7♥7♣
Winter was at risk once more, but he found another way to survive again as he paired up on the K♥Q♦3♦4♦2♣ runout. Winter now has a stack of 4,700,000, which is quite the spin up from the 300,000 he had just moments ago.

Ren Lin: A♥10♥
Chance Kornuth: K♠K♣
Kornuth, who failed to eliminate Lin several times late last night, had the best of it. And he managed to finally down his opponent after making quads on the K♦7♦6♠K♥8♦ runout.

Sean Winter limped in, leaving himself just 100,000 behind, then called all in when Axel Hallay on the button raised to 300,000.
Sean Winter: K♥Q♦
Axel Hallay: A♥10♣
The A♣7♠4♠ flop was a disaster for Winter as Hallay made top pair. Winter was already tapping the felt and getting up from his seat as the 10♦ on the turn gave him a small glimmer of hope to avoid elimination.
The J♦ fell on the river and Winter made his miracle runner-runner straight to stay alive.
The next hand, Winter raised to 700,000 from under the gun, then called off his last 400,000 when Chance Kornuth reraised.
Sean Winter: J♠J♣
Chance Kornuth: A♣3♣
Winter was ahead this time and took an almost insurmountable lead in the hand as the 8♥J♥10♥ flop gave him top set. The K♣ fell on the turn and Kornuth now picked up a straight draw.
"It was nice playing with you. Lady Gaga," Kornuth said as Winter walked over to shake his hand.
"I forgot you could win," Winter said in disbelief.
The river, though, came the 6♥ and Winter doubled up yet again.

Sean Winter raised to 435,000 from the button with Q♥9♣, and Alexandre Vuilleumier defended his big blind with K♣Q♦.
Vuilleumier made top pair on the K♦8♠6♣ flop and check-called for 725,000.
On the 5♦ turn, the action checked through to the Q♣ river. Vuilleumier improved to top two pair while Winter rivered a pair of queens.
Vuilleumier led for 1,790,000, swelling the pot to 4,410,000. Winter thought over his options, and then fireworks began to ignite as he jammed as the bigger stack.
Vuilleumier, with 5,350,000 behind, called for his tournament life after some thinking time and scooped in the biggest pot of the tournament so far.

Chance Kornuth limped in with K♣8♦ and Ren Lin checked with 10♠4♣.
"Seven-three miss everything," Lin said as the flop came 2♦5♥2♥.
"Can you beat seven-three," Kornuth asked after checking over to Lin.
"You have seven-high, right? I think I have the best hand right now," Lin replied as he bet 160,000. Kornuth called with king-high to see the 7♣ turn.
Both players laughed at the sight of the seven and Kornuth checked again. Lin fired out another 375,000 and Kornuth called yet again.
The river came the J♦ and Lin put in a third stab at the pot, this time for 950,000. Kornuth went through several time banks before he grabbed a stack of chips and slammed them in the middle.
"You really called me with king-high? I know you have king-high," Lin said as he ran over to Kornuth and began patting him on the back after the incredible hero-call.
