The final 20 players have been sent on a 15-minute break.
Ruslan Nazarenko raised all in from the cutoff, and Yuan Yu called from the small blind to put Nazarenko at risk.
Ruslan Nazarenko: 6♥6♠
Yuan Yu: A♠Q♠
Nazarenko's sixes held against Yu's overcards when the board ran 5♠K♦3♦J♣5♥ to secure the pot.
Tolga Ural raised under the gun to 400,000 and it folded to Pedro Marques who called in the big blind.
The flop gave 4♠5♣8♣ and Marques check-called Ural for 550,000.
Both checked on the 4♥ turn and a 3♥ hit the river. Marques led out for 425,000 and after some thinking, Ural called but only to muck when he saw A♠5♠ in Marques' hand.
Vitalijs Zavorotnijs opened to 400,000 in the cutoff, and Mark Cahill defended his big blind.
Zavorotnijs led out on the 5♣5♠4♥ flop by moving all in. That produced a fold from Zavorotnijs, as Cahill raked in the pot.
Rostyslav Sabishchenko jammed from early position, and Yuan Yu in the big blind called off his last 1,050,000.
Yuan Yu: A♥6♥
Rostyslav Sabishchenko: A♣3♣
Both players could have split, but on 7♥5♠10♣6♠3♥, Yu hit the best pair to double up.
Corey Kempson opened the hand with an all-in for 600,000 from under the gun. Rostyslav Sabishchenko opted to jam in the next seat over for 3,250,000. It folded to George Tomescu, who also opted to go all-in for 1,425,000 to create a three-way showdown.
Corey Kempson: Q♥5♦
George Tomescu: A♥K♠
Rostyslav Sabishchenko: 8♥8♣
Sabishchenko's eights held on the 4♣3♥10♦7♣9♠ runout to score a double knockout over Kempson and Tomescu.
Kempson and Tomescu earned $25,652 for their effort.
