Rafay Asrar raised to 125,000 on the button, Gianluca Cedolia three-bet shoved from the small blind, and Asrar snapped it off for 885,000 total.
Rafay Asrar: 8♦8♠ 
Gianluca Cedolia: 3♠3♣
The better pair held up during the 6♥4♦2♣9♦7♥ rundown for Asrar to double up.
Goichi Kawaski raised to 120,000 from the hhijack. Roman Hrabec, seated next to him in the cutoff, three-bet to 300,000.
Gonzalo Lopez came over the top in the small blind with an all-in for 825,000.
Kawaski folded. Hrabec made the call.
Gonzalo Lopez: A♣K♠
Roman Hrabec: A♦Q♠
The runout of 6♣J♥7♠6♥9♠ gave Lopez the double-up thanks to his king kicker.
Eoghan O'Dea was all in preflop against Cameron Widergren for a total of 1,030,000. Widergren had him covered, but found himself in rough shape once the cards were tabled.
Eoghan O'Dea A♥A♠
Cameron Widergren: A♣9♣
The dealer fanned out a safe 9♠5♠2♦5♦K♠ board for O'Dea and the 2011 WSOP Main Event final tablist doubled up.
Heads-up play was underway with around 200,000 in the pot. The flop came 2♠9♥9♦. After a check from David Valden in the big blind, Seunghyun Nam fired 80,000. Valden called.
The turn 8♠ got another check from the big blind prompting Nam to fire another 200,000. Valden called once again.
Both players checked the K♥ river. Valden tabled A♥8♥ for a turned pair making Nam muck his hand.
With the cards already on their backs at showdown, the board was reading Ax7xXxKx4x, with Spyridon Apartoglou's K♥K♣ having the K♠7♠ of Rachid Amamou crushed. All of Amamou's chips went in along the way, making him the 32nd-place finisher.
At another table, bracelet winner Blaz Zerjav was seen making his way to the rail. Already short-stacked, he lost with 9♦8♦ against Omar Del Pino's J♦J♠, with the latter holding up during a clean rundown.
Early on there were a lot of ammunition, but no fireworks on one table, as in the first six hands there were five all-ins, including two shoves by Zachary Gruneberg in the first three hands.
Jose Latorre raised to 120,000 under the gun. Action folded to Gruneberg, who moved all-in from the hijack.
Latorre made the call.
Zachary Gruneberg: A♦K♠
Jose Latorre: A♠K♦
As would typically happen with two Big Slicks, the runout of J♠J♣Q♥7♥10♦ lead to a split pot.
Qiao Du in the cutoff shoved all in for 700,000, and John Ciccarelli in the big blind called, taking them to the ensuing showdown.
Qiao Du: A♠K♣
John Ciccarelli: 9♥9♠
Du needed to hit one of his overcards to stay in the game, but the board ran 8♠3♥J♣6♦7x, making Du the first elimination of the day.
Josh Reichard raised from middle position and Gianluca Cedolia defended the big blind. Cedolia check-called 110,000 from Reichard on a K♥8♣2♣ flop before both players checked the J♣ on the turn.
Cedolia bet 440,000 on the 3♠ river and Reichard called after three minutes of thought. Cedolia showed Q♣4♣ for a flush and Reichard mucked.
