Quiontus Griffin got the level off to a terrible start but things went from bad to worse after he shoved all in from the small blind and got snap-called by Prescott Hathaway in the big blind.
Quiontus Griffin: 10♣10♦
Prescott Hathaway: A♠K♣
The J♠9♦7♠ flop was safe for Griffin but an A♦ on the turn propelled Hathaway into the lead. Only a ten or an eight would save Griffin from elimination but the K♠ river improved Hathaway to two pair and earned him the pot.

Action picked up on the river in a hand between Pei Li in the big blind and Kaifan Wang in the hijack.
With over 5,000,000 in the pot and the board reading 9♣9♠8♠Q♠4♥, Li bet out enough chips to put Wang all-in, who had roughly 3,000,000 behind.
Wang went deep into the tank, carefully assessing the situation before ultimately arriving at a fold.
As Li dragged in the pot, the other players at the tabled begged him to show a bluff. He flashed the 6♠, to keep them all guessing.

Viktor Kambov had shoved all in from under the gun and Daniel Scroggins committed himself from the hijack. Kitty Kuo was in the cutoff and shoved all in which put both Kambov and Scroggins at risk.
Viktor Kambov: 10♠10♣
Daniel Scroggins: K♣Q♣
Kitty Kuo: Q♦Q♠
Kuo was in prime position to pick up two bounties but the A♣A♥J♣ flop made her sweat as Scroggins flopped a flush draw. However, two bricks being the 3♠ and 7♥ locked up the pot for Kuo and sent both of her opponents to the rail.

Osmin Dardon opened from the cutoff and was three-bet by Robert Cheung in the big blind to 700,000. When the action got back to Dardon, he shoved all in for 3,535,000. Cheung was thinking for quite some time before he eventually decided to make the call which put Dardon at risk.
Osmin Dardon: J♣J♥
Robert Cheung: Q♥Q♦
Dardon was all but dead by the time the K♣8♥Q♠ flop arrived and his elimination was confirmed on the 7♣ turn and 10♥ river.
