Day 2 chipleader Adam Nattress raised in middle position and got calls from Sovann Pen in the cutoff and Todd Dadake in the small blind. The flop was K♥Q♥5♥ and Nattress bet. Pen folded and Dadake called.
On the 5♦ turn and 7♣ river, Dadake check-called two more bets from Nattress but was shown the bad news when Nattress revealed the nut flush with A♥Q♠4♥4♣.
Action was picked up on the flop in a hand between Ben Yu in the cutoff and Curtis Phelps in the small blind.
The flop read K♣10♦5♦ and Phelps bet while Yu raised for slightly more to put himself all in and Phelps called.
Ben Yu: A♦Q♠7♠2♣ 
Curtis Phelps: A♠3♥2♥2♠
The board ran out 5♥4♣ and the fives and twos were good for Phelps to take down the whole pot and eliminate Yu from the tournament.
The very first hand after redraw saw a three-way all in pot between Ben Yu, Ali Zargari, and Adam Nattress.
Ben Yu: A♥J♥K♥4♦
Ali Zargari 4♠K♠A♠K♦
Adam Nattress: 2♥J♦Q♠A♦
The board ran out 5♥J♠J♣3♦7♥ which eliminated Zargari and split the side pot between Yu and Nattress. Yu was left with 200,000 chips and Nattress adding to his massive stack.
On a K♠7♣2♣ flop, John Cernuto, Matthew Aronowitz, and Mathew Rego checked it around. Cernuto bet the 5♣ on the turn, leaving himself with just 30,000 behind, and both Aronowitz and Rego called.
On the Q♥ river, the final chips went in and two quick calls followed.
Cernuto showed A♣7♦4♣2♠ for the nut flush and a 7-5-4-2-A low. Aronowitz mucked and Rego tabled A♥Q♦8♦4♥ for the same low to take a quarter of the pot.

Action was picked up on the flop between James Chen in the hijack and Nontajit Sawaddee in the big blind.
The flop rolled out 2♠3♥J♣ and Sawaddee checked over to Chen who bet and Sawaddee raised. Chen raised again and Sawaddee called to put herself at risk.
Nontajit Sawaddee: Q♣Q♥10♣10♥
James Chen: A♦5♠3♦2♥
The turn 4♦ left Sawaddee drawing dead for either part of the pot before the 7♥ river and Chen added to his massive lead while Sawaddee exited the tournament.
"Miami" John Cernuto was down to his final three big blinds and got it in against Christopher Roth.
John Cernuto: A♦K♥J♠7♠
Christopher Roth: A♥8♠6♥3♠
The dealer fanned out Q♠8♣7♣5♣J♣ to chop the pot. Two hands later, Cernuto received a walk in the big blind.
After betting occurred on every street Ben Yu attempted to bluff with one final 120,000 bet on the river that was snapped by Todd Dakake.
The board was 9♥10♦10♠2♥7♠ and after Dakake called Yu's bet, Yu casually mucked and neither players showed their hands.
Jamie Kerstetter raised under the gun and was called by Pearce Arnold in the hijack, Aleksey Filatov in the small blind and Jason Stockfish in the big blind.
The flop rolled out 6♠5♦2♠ and action checked around to Kerstetter who bet and all three others called.
Action on the turn 5♠ checked around to Arnold who bet and all except Stockfish called.
Filatov bet the river Q♣ and Kerstetter and Arnold both called.
Jamie Kerstetter: A♣8♣7♠3♦
Aleksey Filatov: A♥9♣5♥3♣
Pearce Arnold: A♦J♦4♦3♠
Arnold's six-high straight was good for the high, but all three of the players shared the same low so they divided the low three ways, giving Arnold the largest portion of the pot.
