Elijah Berg opened in the hijack to 275,000 but met some resistance in the form of a Brandon Wittmeyer three-bet to 950,000 from the small blind.
Berg responded with a four-bet jam for 2,850,000, which Wittmeyer wasted no time in calling.
Elijah Berg: A♠A♦ 
Brandon Wittmeyer: K♠K♦
A sorry situation for Wittmeyer, a long way behind and both suits covered too, extinguishing any hopes of a four-card flush.
The board ran out safe for Berg, coming 2♠2♦10♥6♥10♦, giving him a full double up.

Anatoly Nikitin moved his last 80,000 into the middle and was at risk when Masato Yokosawa raised to 240,000 on the button. The rest of the table got out of the way, leaving Nikitin at risk heads up.
Anatoly Nikitin: 2♠2♣
Masato Yokosawa: A♦7♣
"I've won a tournament with one big blind, this is half," Nikitin told the table before the flop was dealt. Nikitin's deuces held through the K♣8♥10♦4♣4♥ runout, as Nikitin survived and raked in the chips.

After Punnat Punsri opened to 240,000 in the cutoff, Anatoly Nikitin and Joe McKeehen got their stacks into the middle from the blinds. Punsri folded and the hands were turned up.
Joe McKeehen: A♥Q♣
Anatoly Nikitin: A♣3♣
Nikitin had McKeehen slightly covered, and was left with less than one big blind after the 10♥J♥7♥5♣K♠ runout gave McKeehen the double.

Anatoly Nikitin opened to 240,000 in early position and found a call from Chang Lee on the button. The 6♠6♦7♠ flop saw Nikitin continued for 225,000.
After taking a moment, Lee slid out a raise to 850,000. That was enough to claim the pot, as Nikitin slid his cards into the muck.

: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Joao Simao raised in the cutoff to 250,000 before Andrew Ostapchenko, on the button, three-bet to 400,000, which only Simao called.
The duo saw a flop of A♦K♣9♣ and when Simao checked, Ostapchenko continued for 300,000. Simao sprang into action, though, check-raising to 850,000. Ostapchenko looked him up and down before calling.
The turn 6♠ didn't deter Simao as he continued for 900,000. This time, though, Ostapchenko put the hammer down, moving all in.
Simao wasted no time in returning his cards to the dealer face down as Ostapchenko pulled in a big pot.

Joe McKeehen opened to 240,000 in early position and Mathew Frankland defended his big blind to see the 3♦7♣6♦ flop.
Frankland led out for 200,000, with McKeehen making the call. Frankland fired again on the 2♦ turn, this time for 360,000.
McKeehen took a moment before calling, and the dealer flipped over the A♣ river.
Frankland counted out a bet of 1,350,000 and slid it forward. McKeehen took some more time before sticking in a call. Frankland tabled 7♠6♣ for two pair, taking down a sizeable pot as McKeehen mucked.

Brandon Wittmeyer raised to 240,000 in middle position, and Elijah Berg called in the cutoff. Action then folded to Jim Collopy in the small blind, who elected to move all in for 1,900,000.
Wittmeyer requested a count of all in the amount before moving all in himself. Berg got out the way and the two remaining players flipped their cards over.
Jim Collopy: A♦Q♦
Brandon Wittmeyer: A♠K♥
Collopy was at risk and in trouble.
The board provided no help, coming down 10♥5♣7♠8♣5♥, and Collopy headed to the payout desk.
Level 20
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Anatoly Nikitin and Joe McKeehen were heads-up in the blinds, with the completed board of Q♠A♥9♦5♥5♠ face up on the table.
Nikitin led out by moving all in, putting the decision on McKeehen for the rest of his stack. McKeehen took some time before sliding all of his time bank cards forward.
After a minute, McKeehen moved a single calling chip forward and turned up Q♦3♦ for two pair. Nikitin showed 10♠6♥, allowing McKeehen to rake in the pot and double his stack.
