Lisa Tan raised to 2,000,000 from middle position and Joshua Welch defended in the big blind.
The Q♦3♣10♣ flop saw Welch check-called a continuation of 2,400,000 from Tan.
The 2♦ turn prompted a check from Welch. Tan bombed the turn with a bet of 10,000,000 and earned a snap-fold from Welch.
Ricky Andino and Jacob Mulhern got all of their chips into the middle preflop, with Mulhern at risk of elimination.
Jacob Mulhern: A♠9♠
Ricky Andino: J♠J♣
Mulhern needed to improve to stay alive in this spot, but the runout of 5♣K♣K♥8♦6♦ failed to do so and he was sent to the payout desk while Andino scooped the pot.
Joel Vanetten initiated the action from early position with a raise to 1,700,000. Armand Anicete, in the cutoff, responded with a three-bet to 5,000,000. Vanetten considered his options, re-counting his stack a few times before pushing all in. The decision was now on Anicete, who eventually called, leading to a showdown.
Joel Vanetten: K♦K♣
Armand Anicete: 10♦10♠
Upon seeing Vanetten's cards, Anicete let out a short groan, clearly hoping for a different outcome. He now needed a favorable board, but it came Q♦4♦7♥9♠2♠, offering no help. Vanetten happily celebrated a well-deserved double-up.
David Schwartz moved all in for 3,400,000 from middle position and Yujian Eugen Zhou called on the button.
David Schwartz: A♥5♠
Yujian Eugen Zhou: Q♣J♣
Schwartz was ahead but the J♠9♥8♥ flop put Zhou out in front. The Q♦ turn and J♥ river improved Zhou to a full house, to eliminate Schwartz.
William Morgan raised to 1,700,000 from early position, Andrew Dubuque called in the cutoff, and Hon Cheong Lee three-bet jammed for 8,800,000 from the button. Morgan folded and Dubuque called.
Hon Cheong Lee: K♣Q♣
Andrew Dubuque: A♠J♠
Cheong Lee was behind and the 7♣9♠3♥6♣2♥ flop couldn't save him, ending his deep tournament run.
Niveau: 36
Blinds: 400,000/800,000
Ante: 800,000
The 46 players remaining are now on their first 15-minute break of the day and will return to action shortly. The green 25,000 chips will also be raced off and colored up at this time.
Ali Razzaq raised to 1,300,000 from under the gun, receiving calls from the button and the Oleksii Ievchenko, in the big blind.
The 8♠10♣10♦ flop checked through to the 8♣ on the turn. Ievchenko took the lead for 1,400,000 and only Razzaq called.
The 2♣ river checked to a showdown. Ievchenko tabled 10♠4♠ for a full house, winning him this pot and allowing him to pass the sixty million chip mark.
After a preflop betting war, Billy Swaringen and Ben Squelch got all of their chips into the middle, with the latter at risk of elimination.
Ben Squelch: J♣J♦
Billy Swaringen: A♥A♦
Squelch was in bad shape against Swaringen's aces, but the flop of J♥10♠Q♦ gave him a big lead with a set of jacks. However, the deck was not Squelch's friend as the runout came 5♣K♦ to give Swaringen a straight on the river to send him to the rail in brutal fashion.
