Robert McDowell moved all in for 155,000, and only David Clarke called in the big blind.
Robert McDowell: Q♣J♣ 
David Clarke: A♠10♠
The 4♣5♦7♠ flop offered very little help for McDowell, but the Q♦ turn came to his rescue, seeing him take the lead.
The 3♦ river completed the board, ensuring McDowell survived, but left Clarke short.
A few hands later, Clarke lost another all in, this time it saw him eliminated.
Level: 21
Blinds: 10,000/20,000
Ante: 20,000
Arriving on the 4♠3♥8♥ flop, Christoph Huber checked it over from the hijack to Michael Casson in the cutoff. Cason bet 50,000, which Huber raised to 130,000.
Casson stuck in a call after some thought, after which the 6♠ hit the turn. Huber quickly moved all in, putting his opponent at risk for 340,000.
Casson went deep into the tank, eventually relinquishing his cards to the dealer to forfeit the pot to Huber.
Heads up to the J♣8♥6♥ flop, Kalman Dohany checked under the gun to Day 1a chipleader Massimiliano Cordeschi in the next seat over. Cordeschi fired a bet of 40,000 into the pot of about 105,000.
Dohany then raised to 130,000, and Cordeschi moved all in for 355,000 after a lot of thought. Dohany only needed a few seconds before he called with the covering stack.
Massimiliano Cordeschi: Q♥J♠
Kalman Dohany: A♥J♦
Dohany's ace kicker remained in play on the 6♣4♣ runout, scooping the pot and sending Cordeschi to the rail.
When Daniel Vasser moved all in for 48,000, only Kenneth Broad called, putting Vasser at risk.
Daniel Vasser: K♦Q♥
Kenneth Broad: 5♠5♣
The board was good for Broad up to the J♠6♥4♥2♦ turn, but the Q♣ river saw Vasser snatch the lead and secure a double up.
As the pot was being pushed in the opposite direction, Broad shared that not long before, he had got pocket aces in preflop versus ace-king, but had been rivered by a Broadway straight, a pot that would have left him with roughly 1,500,000 in chips.
When the action folded to Adrien Burgniard in the small blind, he moved all in, covering the stack of PokerStars Team Pro Rory Jennings in the big blind. After taking a look at his hand, Jennings commited his remaining chips, roughly 65,000 into the middle.
Rory Jennings: 10♠9♠
Adrien Burgniard: A♣6♠
The A♥2♦A♦ flop had Jennings drawing dead, and he was up and out of his seat with the ever-present smile on his face as the 8♦ turn and 6♣ river completed the board.
Yucel Eminoglu kicked that action off with a raise to 32,000 from the cutoff. After some deliberation, Attila Koncz responded by moving all in for 365,000 from the small blind. The action was then on Michael Prendergast in the big blind, who moved his stack of 254,000 into the middle too.
Eminoglu folded, and the two all-in players flipped their cards over.
Michael Prendergast: A♣A♦
Attila Koncz: J♠J♥
As Prendergast scrambled to get his phone out to record the proceedings, the dealer provided a K♣5♣K♠9♥3♥ runout, which saw the aces hold up, and the huge pot was pushed in the direction of Prendergast.
