Aaron Steury defended his big blind after Stephen Chidwick raised to 50,000 in the hijack.
The flop rolled out 10♠8♥6♣ and Steury checked over to Chidwick who bet 55,000. Steury raised to 130,000 and Chidwick opted to call.
On the turn 2♠, Steury bet 155,000 and Chidwick thought for a bit before tossing his hand away.
Small blind Mason Vieth and Jeff Weiss in early position were heads up on a K♣Q♠K♦2♦4♥ river. Vieth checked to Weiss, who fired 350,000 into a pot of 400,000.
"Nice hand," Vieth stated as he tossed in a single calling chip. Weiss showed 4♠4♦ for a rivered full house, and Vieth spent some time before adding his cards to the muck.
Daniel Corbett raised to 50,000 from the cutoff and just behind him, Brian Feck moved all in for his last 155,000 on the button. Ryan Leng also shoved from the small blind for a bit over 600,000 from the small blind, which got a fold from Corbett to set up a showdown between himself and Feck.
Brian Feck: K♥J♣
Ryan Leng: A♦Q♠
Leng held a slight lead with his ace, but the K♦9♦9♠ flop paired Feck's king to pull him into the lead. The 2♥ turn and 3♣ river changed nothing and Feck doubled his short stack.
In middle position, Ryan Miller had three-bet to 150,000 preflop, and Kyle Mart had called under the gun. Mart then checked the J♥4♠2♥ flop before calling Miller's bet of 125,000.
Miller had just 225,000 behind, which he pushed all in on the 2♠ turn. Mart called after ample thinking time.
Ryan Miller: K♦K♣
Kyle Mart: 8♥8♣
Mart did not find an eight on the Q♥ river, doubling up the mixed-game specialist.

Racks were being handed out as Sachin Joshi's table was the next to break. In the meantime, Joshi and Jon Vallinas had built a massive pot of more than 1,000,000 going to the river on a board of 9♥7♠3♣Q♠4♣.
Joshi moved all in from the big blind, and Vallinas tanked for a few minutes until the clock was called. He eventually called for his last 400,000 from early position and turned over 10♠9♠, but Joshi had rivered a straight with 6♥5♥ to win the pot and send Vallinas to the rail.
The action was caught as Nicholas Boll had manoeuvred his stack of 390,000 into the middle preflop, and was at risk versus Matthew Lapossie.
Nicholas Boll: Q♥Q♦
Matthew Lapossie: A♥A♣
The 7♦Q♣7♠ flop flipped the script, as Boll flopped a full house. His joy was short-lived, however, as the A♦ turn gave Lapossie a better full.
It wasn't to be for Boll; left with just one out to survive, he couldn't find it on the 9♣ river, sending him to the rail.
