The 2♠ turn checked through for the 8♦ to fall on the river. Vengrin bet 150,000, which got Lang to fold.

Qiaonan Liu limped under the gun, allowing Isaac Kempton's pot bet to reach 135,000. Aristoteles Neto then shoved for 260,000 when action got to him in the small blind, and Kempton snapped after Liu's fold.
Aristoteles Neto: J♥10♠7♥3♠ 
Isaac Kempton: A♣A♠J♠9♠
Neto was behind as it stood, but the Q♠K♦9♥ flop sent him straight into the lead, as Kempton could only knock him out with a ten or backdoors. The 6♠ turn brought in an extra sweat, but Neto was able to hold on the 3♦ river to double up.
Erik Perez raised to 105,000 on the button and Matthew Beck three-bet to around 400,000 from the small blind. After the big blind folded, Perez called for his last 200,000.
Erik Perez: A♣K♦10♠2♣
Matthew Beck: A♦A♠10♥9♠
Perez didn't find much help on the Q♦7♣2♦ flop, but the K♣ turn improved him to a pair and a lot of outs to win the pot. The 7♥ wasn't one of them and all of Perez's chips were sent over to Beck.
At another table, Keith Crowder was seen exiting his seat and is no longer in the tournament.
Action picked up on the river in a hand between Vadim Shlez in the hijack and Rayan Chamas in the cutoff.
With over 500,000 in the middle and the board reading A♥4♠2♦3♠9♦, Shlez led out with a bet of 100,000.
Chamas thought for a moment before making the call, and mucked his cards when Shlez turned over A♠J♠10♣5♠ for the wheel.
Sean Troha got his last 70,000 in from the button with Matt Vengrin calling out of the big blind to try and bust him.
Sean Troha: K♠J♥10♥2♠
Matt Vengrin: A♣K♣K♥2♦
Troha was dominated by Vengrin's Cowboys and needed some help from the dealer to survive. The board ran out 7♦7♥J♦7♠A♠ to give Vengrin a boat, sending Troha to the rail.
