Dario Sammartino and Ryan Garcia got all of their chips in the middle preflop and it was Garcia at risk for a little over 200,000.
Ryan Garcia: A♠3♣
Dario Sammartino: 10♥10♦
Garcia was in search of an ace but it could not be found on the 8♠7♥6♥ flop. The 6♣ paired the board on the turn and the J♣ hit the river, sending Garcia for the "talk of shame" with Jeff Platt.
In a heads-up raised pot, the board showed K♠J♦10♠9♥ when pei Li checked to Clement Richez who bet 40,000. Li called.
A 8♣ completed the board and Li checked again. Richez sent a bet worth 85,000 and Li didn't take long to call.
Richez showed Q♣J♥ for the straight and Li quickly sent his cards into the muck, saying he held KxJx.
Bradley Moskowitz raised from the button to 30,000, Christian Roberts in the small blind three-bet to 140,000 and Moskowitz four-bet to 240,000.
Roberts thought on his decision for some time before five-bet jamming. Moskowitz called off the bet for his last 1,800,000.
Bradley Moskowitz: A♠K♠
Christian Roberts: A♥5♣
The board ran out J♠10♠6♦6♥7♠ and Moskowitz found a huge double up.
Leo Soma, who won his first bracelet in last year's $1,500 Six-Handed No-Limit Hold'em event, opened to 40,000 from the hijack and received calls from a player on the button and David Eldridge in the big blind.
The flop came 2♣5♣4♥ and action checked around to Soma, who made a continuation bet of 45,000. Eldridge put in a check-raise to 135,000, folding out the big blind while Soma made the call.
On the 10♥ turn Eldridge bet 200,000. Soma once again made the call.
The river was the 9♦. Eldridge moved all in, covering Soma's remaining stack of 280,000. Soma thought about his decision for about a minute before putting in the call.
Eldridge tabled 8♣7♥ for a bluff while Soma revealed 6♦6♥ for a just a small pair to secure a big double up.
Richard Seymour raised to 35,000 in early position and picked up three callers along the way. The flop came J♥9♦8♦ and the action checked around to the 8♠ on the turn.
The blinds checked again and Seymour tossed in a bet of 70,000. Juan Maceiras Lapido raised to 220,000 on his left and Seymour called. The river was the A♠ and Seymour checked this time. Maceiras Lapido thought for a minute and then checked it back. Seymour tabled Q♠Q♥ and Maceiras Lapido couldn't beat it.
"I needed that one man," Seymour said as he collected the pot. "I don't know if I was calling."
Jordan Westmorland raised 30,000 in early position and Nikita Luther called from a couple of spots to his left before Thien Chung Wu three-bet to 150,000 in the cutoff. Westmorland mucked his hand but Luther stuck around.
The dealer fanned a flop of A♠J♠5♥, and Luther checked to Chung Wu. Wu announced all-in for 665,000 and Luther snap-called, dropping a stack of greens across the line.
Thien Chung Wu: A♣K♦
Nikita Luther: A♦J♥
Wu flopped top pair, top kicker but it was no good against Luther's top two pair. Wu couldn't find one of the last remaining kings as the board completed with the 7♠ on the turn and the 6♣ on the river.
In a there-way pot, the flop showed 10♣J♥7♦ and Ariel Celestino checked in the big blind, followed by a player in middle position. Oghenovo 'Novo' Constare bet 75,000 from the hijack and only Celestino called.
The turn paired the board with a J♣ and Celestino check-called another bet from Constare, this time for 125,000.
A 6♣ came on the river and after a last check from Ceelstino, Constare sent 350,000 into the pot. After a minute, Celestino called but only to muck when Constare tabled J♠J♦.
"That makes sense!" said Celestino jokingly to Constare before sending his cards into the muck.
Chris Brewer opened to 35,000 from under the gun and only Jan-Peter Jachtmann made the call in the small blind.
The flop came 8♦6♣3♦ and Jachtmann check-called a bet of 75,000 from Brewer. On the 2♠ turn Jachtmann checked again and Brewer came with a size of 125,000. Jachtmann took a moment before moving all in and Brewer quickly flicked his cards into the muck, awarding the pot to Jachtmann.
Kojiro Mizukami had had a rough few levels when he open-raised to 35,000 from the cutoff. Fabio Miranda defended the big blind and the two went off to a flop of 8♠3♣10♣.
Both players checked it through before the turn fell the Q♥. Miranda now bet 75,000 and Mizukami made the call. The A♣ river then went check-check again and Miranda tabled 9♠7♠ for a missed straight draw.
Mizukami then showed down the winner with K♥Q♣ and raked in the pot.
