With around 125,000 chips in the pot on a flop of A♠2♠2♥, Toby Joyce check-called a bet of 40,000 from Tyler Hatchel.
Both players checked the Q♠ turn to see the 9♠ fall on the river. With four spades on board, Joyce checked it over to Hatchel, who shoved all in. Joyce had around 265,000 chips behind and was taking so long with his decision that one of his tablemates called the clock. During the 30-second countdown, Joyce committed the rest of his stack.
Hatchel then tabled J♠J♥ for a flush, and Joyce launched his cards across the table in frustration, which revealed he made the call with A♦Q♥ for top two pair.
Action went three-ways to the flop of 3♣K♣J♣ in a hand between John Hennigan in early position, the player on the button and the player in the big blind.
It checked through to the 5♦ turn, where the big blind checked, Hennigan bet 35,000, the button folded, as did the big blind.
The next hand, Hennigan raised to 20,000 from under the gun, and got called by the players in the cutoff, button, and big blind.
The 3♦5♠5♦ flop checked through to the 5♣ turn. The big blind checked, Hennigan bet 35,000, the cutoff and button got out of the way, as did the big blind.
A player in early position raised to 22,000 before John Borges moved all in for 173,000 in middle position. Gabriel Moura called on the button, as did the original raiser.
Both players checked the 5♠2♦3♣ flop. The turn was the 6♦ and Moura bet 80,000. His opponent called to create a side pot and they both checked down the 5♣ river.
Borges showed 10♥10♣, but Moura turned over J♥J♠. "Oh, you do outpip me," Borges said before wishing the table good luck and making his way to the payout desk.
Picking up the action partway through the hand, Andreas Wagner in middle position was all in and at risk for his stack of 300,000 against Bojan Gledovic on the button.
Andreas Wagner: A♣A♠
Bojan Gledovic: A♥J♦
Wagner had found pocket rockets at an opportune time and held on the 4♠9♣7♥2♦8♦ runout to secure the full double, leaving Gledovic with just 20,000.
Gledovic was eliminated a couple of hands later.
In a heads-up pot on a board of 7♣Q♣7♠4♠2♥, the big blind bet all in for 526,000 with around that in the pot.
Dong Lee went into the tank in the cutoff as he considered calling off with his remaining 480,000. Eventually, he found the call.
It was the right move as his opponent tabled A♥9♠ for his ace-high as Lee revealed 10♣10♦ to win the pot and double up with a pair of tens.
As the final tables in the blue section were breaking, Lingkun Lu raised in the cutoff and the player in the big blind defended. The flop fell K♦2♦7♠ and the big blind check-raised all in for 105,000 chips.
Lu immediately called and the cards were shown down.
Big blind: K♥5♦
Lingkun Lu: 8♦6♦
The big blind's top pair remained safe on the 7♥ turn, but the A♦ river gave Lu a flush to score one final elimination before he was moved to the red section.
