Albert Calderon was in the tank from early position and was given 30 seconds to act before he shoved all in for 3,525,000. Maxim Babko also spent some time in the tank before the clock was called on him as well. Babko eventually moved in the last of his 2,050,000 chips and the rest of the table quickly folded.

Maxim Babko: A♣K♣All in
Albert Calderon: A♥A♦

Babko ran into it as Calderon turned over the one hand he did not want to see. The board ran out 10♠7♦5♦8♥9♠ and Calderon's pocket aces held on to eliminate Babko.

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Leon Sturm raised to 400,000 in the hijack, and Stefan Nemetz three-bet to 1,200,000 in the cutoff for Sturm to call. The flop came A♥9♦8♣, and Sturm checked, Nemetz bet 700,000, and took down the pot right there.

Up next, Nemetz raised to 400,000 and was called by Michael Garner as well as Kenny Hallaert. The K♠J♥4♣ flop was checked, and Hallaert bet the 4♠ turn for 650,000, Nemetz folded, and Garner called.

That led them to the 5♣ river on which Hallaert bet 2,400,000. Garner reluctantly called, but couldn't beat the 6♥4♥ for trip fours of Hallaert.

Eric Afriat raised to 450,000 in the hijack, and Diego Ponce called in the big blind.

Afriat continued for 200,000 on the J♣9♣7♦ flop, and Ponce came back with a raise to 750,000. Afriat called, and the 6♣ fell on the turn.

Ponce then bet 1,700,000, and that was enough to get Afriat to fold.

Greg Merson was sitting in the hijack when he decided to shove his last 2,925,000 in the middle. Joshua Beckenstein on the button then decided to three-bet to 7,050,000, leaving himself just 2,000,000 behind. Nobody else wanted to be part of the action, and the cards went on their backs.

Greg Merson: Q♥Q♦All in
Joshua Beckenstein: A♦K♣

With the board coming down 4♥6♥10♣6♦7♣ with no ace or king for Beckenstein, Merson secured a crucial double.

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

After missing the first hand of the day, Stephen Hesse quickly got involved in Day 7 just a couple of hands later. Hesse raised to 400,000 in early position and was called by Kohei Arai in the big blind.

The flop came 9♣6♠5♦ and Arai led out with a bet of 300,000. Hesse eyed up his opponent's stack and then raised to 1,100,000. Arai thought for a minute and then sent his cards into the muck.

Charles Lee shoved from early position for just over 2,000,000, and Tony Gregg called in the hijack.

Charles Lee: A♥10♦ All in
Tony Gregg: J♠J♦

Lee was behind, but did pick up some more outs on the 10♣7♣Q♠ flop. An 8♥ on the turn left him with one more shot at survival, but he couldn't make it happen as the K♣ on the river sealed his fate.

Action folded to Joshua Beckenstein in the small blind, and he wasted no time moving all in for his remaining 4,425,000. Lautaro Guerra asked for a count, took a few moments to think it over, then tossed in the call.

Joshua Beckenstein: A♠10♣All in
Lautaro Guerra: K♠Q♦

The board ran out J♠4♦A♦8♦J♣, giving Beckenstein top pair and leaving Guerra drawing thin from the start. With that, Beckenstein secured an early double to keep his hopes alive.

Joey Padron opened from middle position to 400,000, and Adam Hendrix called in the hijack. Tomas Szwarcberg also called from the big blind.

They went to a flop of 6♥A♥A♠, where Szwarcberg checked and Padron continued with a bet of 250,000. Hendrix put in a raise to 900,000, which earned him the pot as his two opponents folded.

Szwarcberg took down the next two pots as he raised from the small blind and button consecutively without any competition.

Ben Jackson pushed all in from under the gun for his last five and a half blinds, with the prospect of being the big blind in the very next hand for almost one third of his stack. Kenny Hallaert called two seats over and the rest of the table folded.

Ben Jackson: Q♠8♦ All in
Kenny Hallaert: 10♦10♥

Jackson had one overcard at his disposal, but missed on the J♥7♠7♦ flop and the 4♣ turn. The river was the 2♣ and that spelled the end for Jackson. As the first casualty on Day 7, he receives $165,000 for his 57th place finish.
