Jeffrey Halcomb was down to just 200,000 under the gun, and would have been forced all in from the big blind in the next hand. Paul Saso moved all in from the cutoff. No one else got involved.
Jeff Halcomb: 8♥2♦ 
Paul Saso: K♥K♠
The board came K♣Q♥5♥9♣2♠, and Halcomb was eliminated from the tournament.
Jeremie Toledano opened the action, raising to 225,000 from middle position. Brendan Buckner then shoved for 380,000 on the button, and Machado did the same for slightly less in the big. Toledano then made the call for only 165,000 more.
Manuel Machado: K♣Q♠
Brendan Buckner: 9♥9♣
Jeremie Toledano: K♥10♥
Buckner all but locked up the pot on the 5♠9♦3♣ flop, and the 8♠J♣ runout confirmed his triple up, as well as a bounty pull, as Machado was sent home and Toledano's stack got damaged.
Eran Aydin moved all in for 555,000 from first position and Michael Nguyen called in the big blind.
Eran Aydin: K♦Q♦
Michael Nguyen: A♦J♦
The board ran out K♠4♦J♥5♠8♥ and Aydin recovered some of his lost chips.
Kevin Wan opened to 200,000 from the button and Brendan Buckner moved all in from the small blind for around 1,700,000. Wan made the call and was covered by Buckner.
Kevin Wan: A♠10♣
Brendan Buckner: 8♦8♥
The 7♠10♦7♣ flop put Wan ahead, and things stayed that way on the 7♥, 3♥ turn and river.
Buckner was left with around three big blinds after the hand.
Dingshun Lin moved all in for 370,000 from the button which prompted Tom Hall to jam from the small blind and Eran Aydin called in the big blind.
Dingshun Lin: K♦5♥
Tom Hall: A♠2♥
Eran Aydin: A♣Q♥
The board ran out K♣Q♠8♦10♦4♠ and the pair of kings was good for Lin to triple while Hall was eliminated in the side pot.
