As the final two tables were combining, Arthur Thiriart raised to 1,025,000 in middle position and Pete Chen made the call in the cutoff.
Thiriart committed his last few chips on the 5♦8♣A♠ flop, and Chen called.
Arthur Thiriart: A♣2♥ 
Pete Chen: A♥Q♣
Chen's queen kicker held through the 9♣ turn and 10♥ river, sending Thiriart out in 16th position.
Najeem Ajez raised to 400,000 in early position, and Arthur Thiriart three-bet to 1,400,000 on the button. Daniel Tafur moved all in for 640,000 in the big blind, and Ajez got out of the way.
Daniel Tafur: 9♣8♣
Arthur Thiriart: A♥10♥
Thiriart stayed in front through the 7♣J♠K♠ flop, but Tafur drilled the 10♠ turn to make a straight. The 5♠ river completed the board, as Tafur earned the double-up.
Action was heads up to the 4♣3♣2♠6♣7♣ river, with around 2,000,000 in the middle. Pete Chen fired a bet of 800,000, and Arthur Thiriart took some time before sticking in a call.
Chen tabled 5♠4♠ for a straight, good enough to claim a healthy pot as Thiriart mucked.
Heads up to the flop of J♥9♠K♣ with close to 1,000,000 in the pot.
Najeem Ajez led out from early position for 250,000 and was called by Arthur Thiriart in the cutoff.
The turn brought the 10♣ and Ajez fired a second bullet of 400,000. Thiriart tanked for a while and made the call.
On the J♣ river, Ajez thought briefly and checked it over to Thiriart, who went into the tank for a good two to three minutes before he fired out a river bet of 675,000. Ajez went back into the tank briefly before he moved all in.
Thiriart went deeper into the tank for nearly eight minutes and the clock was called. Just before it expired, he mucked his hand and Ajez, with much jubilation, slammed down K♠8♠ to show the bluff.
In other action, we lost Ehsan Amiri and Yuliyan Kolev on another table,
Myles Mullaly raised to 400,000 in middle position. Gansukh Sandagsuren three-bet almost all in on the button, holding onto 20,000 of his 2,000,000 chips.
Colin Robinson called all in for less. Mullaly folded.
Colin Robinson: A♦5♦
Gansukh Sandagsuren: 8♣8♠
Robinson overtook the eights on the flop with a pair of aces, but when the full board of 9♠A♠7♠K♦2♠ was laid, Sandagsuren had a flush and the bounty.
Level: 30
Blinds: 100,000/200,000
Ante: 200,000
Pavlo Veksler raised to 300,000 before Ehsan Amiri three-bet to 675,000 across the table. Christian Harder then moved all in for 800,000, and Veksler shoved his stack of 1,740,000.
Amiri took some time before making the call, and all three hands were tabled.
Christian Harder: A♦K♦
Pavlo Veksler: A♥K♣
Ehsan Amiri: 8♣8♦
Amiri's pocket pair held through the 3♥2♥7♦ flop, but Harder and Veksler hit the A♠ turn. The 4♣ river completed the board, as Amiri was denied a double knockout.
Rostyslav Sabishchenko raised all in from the cutoff with 630,000 chips. Myles Mullaly three-bet over the top all in.
There were no callers.
Rostyslav Sabishchenko: A♦10♥
Myles Mullaly: Q♠Q♦
Mullaly stayed ahead throughout the runout of 3♠7♦2♥8♥Q♣, finishing with a set of queens to end Sabishchenko's tournament run.
Yohwan Lim opened to 300,000 from under the gun, and Justin Manjares made it 700,000 on the button. Lim four-bet all in, and Manjares made the call.
Justin Manjares: Q♣Q♦
Yohwan Lim: K♣K♦
Manjares was unable to improve on the J♦9♣3♣3♥A♠ board, seeing his queens come in second to hit the rail.
