The remaining 55 players have been sent on their final 15-minute break of the day. They will return to blinds of 300,000/600,000 with a 600,000 big blind ante at which point play will continue for three more levels before the survivors bag for the night.

Brandon Zuidema opened to 1,200,000 from middle position before Matt Glantz moved all in for a little over 7,000,000 out of the big blind. Zuidema gave his decision some thought before making the call with the covering stack to put Glantz at risk.
Matt Glantz: 8♠8♦
Brandon Zuidema: A♠J♠
It was a coinflip and Glantz stayed ahead on the 3♣3♦2♣ flop. The A♣ turn, however, vaulted Zuidema into the lead, leaving Glantz needing to hit a two outer to survive. The miracle was not to be, with the Q♥ river ensuring Glantz will not be redeeming a seven-figure prize in the event this year.

Tyler Brown raised under the gun to 1,200,000 and Gareth Devereux called in the hijack. Both players went to a board of 3♠7♦7♥. Brown continued for 900,000 and Devereux called.
The turn brought the 9♠ and Brown fired again, this time for 2,200,000. Devereux slid out a little over two stacks of lavenders amounting to 4,200,000, an illegal under-raise. It was ruled that the bet must be that of a minimum raise so Devereux put in an extra 200,000 to make up the difference. The action back on Brown, he went into the tank for a short while before he three-bet jammed on Devereux.
Devereux, frustrated at himself, admitted the flop raise was a "misclick" implying it was intended to just be a call for 2,200,000. Devereux's mistake not only cost him seeing a cheaper turn, but ultimately the pot as he laid the hand down.

Ryan McKnight opened to 1,400,000 from early position and Dan Colpoys Jammed in late position for about 13,000,000. When it was back on McKnight he only took a moment before making the call and the cards were on their back.
Dan Colpoys: A♦Q♦
Ryan McKnight: J♣J♠
The board ran out J♦7♠7♦5♠5♦, giving McKnight jacks full of sevens. Colpoys hit the rail and McKnight rocketted up the leaderboard.

Jonah LaBranche raised under the gun to 1,200,000, the player to his direct left called and it folded around to Jason Sternberg in the big blind. Sternberg, very short-stacked, weighed up his options. He was contemplating for so long that the player to his right called the clock.
The tournament director arrived at the table and asked "Has he had a reasonable amount of time to make a decision?"
"I have," Sternberg answered on behalf of the table, putting his remaining one million chips into the middle.
The action on the side ended promptly as LaBranche bet the board 6♣Q♠4♠ for 800,000 prompting the remaining player in the hand to fold.
Jason Sternberg: K♣Q♦
Jonah LaBranche: K♦10♠
The turn came the 10♥ and the river came the 10♣. LaBranche's king high turned into trips by the river sending Sternberg home in brutal fashion.

Matthew McNeil opened from under the gun and was called by a player in the small blind. Carmen Raiche-Marsden then moved all in out of the big blind before McNeil instantly re-jammed, prompting the small blind to get out of the way.
Carmen Raiche-Marsden: A♥8♠
Matthew McNeil: A♠K♦
McNeil had Raiche-Marsden in rough shape with the J♥A♣2♦10♥7♣ runout confirming her exit late in the day.

The pot sat at approximately 5,500,000. Chris Hunichen in the big blind checked the action on 8♣K♦10♣J♦5♣ over to Jonah LaBranche who bet 4,500,000 into the middle sending Hunichen into the tank.
After much deliberation, Hunichen folded. LaBranche turned to his rail and flashed his hand, though what it was still remains a mystery to the table.
"Did you have a flush?" Hunichen asked.
