The pot stood at around 150,000 when the flop was dealt, showing 2♦5♦5♠.
Dietrich Fast checked and Biao Ding bet 70,000. Fast made the call.
Both players checked the 2♠ turn before Fast led out for 70,000 on the 3♦ river. Ding called, but quickly sent his cards to the muck after Fast revealed K♣2♠ for a full house, good enough to win the pot.
Heads-up to the flop of 5♦K♦7♠ with 100,000 in the pot, Barak Wisbrod checked from the hijack to Vladimir Minko on the button, who fired out 30,000, and Wisbrod made the call.
The action went check, check on the 7♣ turn for the K♠ to peel off on the river.
Wisbrod led out for 50,000, and after a short tank, Minko tossed in the call. Wisbrod tabled K♣5♣ for the rivered full house and was shipped the pot.
Candy Lin made it 30,000 to play from early position and was looked up by Hannes Jeschka on the button and Ren Lin in the big blind.
The flop came 6♥5♥10♥, and it was checked to Candy Lin, who continued for 30,000. Jeschka and Ren Lin both made the call.
The 8♥ peeled off on the turn and both Lins checked to Jeschka, who fired out for 70,000. Ren Lin folded quickly, and Candy Lin wasn't too far behind, sending the pot to Jeschka uncontested.
With around 235,000 in the pot and the board reading 3♦5♠10♠J♠, Yu Zhang moved all in for 125,000 from under the gun. After the dealer confirmed the count, Daniel Negreanu made the call.
Zhang tabled 10♣6♣ for a pair of tens, while Negreanu showed 10♠8♣ for the same pair with the better kicker.
However, the 3♣ river paired the board, counterfeiting both kickers and resulting in a chopped pot, allowing Zhang to stay alive.
Dejan Kaladjurdjevic made it 30,000 to play from under the gun, and action folded to Rokas Asipauskas in the cutoff, who three-bet to 75,000. Kaladjurdjevic tanked for a while and made the call.
The action went check, check on the J♥K♣6♦ flop, and the dealer peeled off the 8♥ as the turn.
Kaladjurdjevic used one time bank before he fired out 45,000. Asipauskas made the call.
The river brought the 10♥, and Kaladjurdjevic used two time banks before he loaded up a river bet of 70,000 and fired it out. Asipauskas didn't take long and tossed in the call but took even less time to toss his cards into the muck on seeing Kaladjurdjevic table 6♥6♠ for a flopped set.
A pot of around 100,000 was built before the flop came 4♦3♣8♣. Kully Sidhu checked from the big blind, and Ren Lin fired 40,000 from the cutoff. Sidhu made the call.
Both players checked the A♣ turn and the 10♦ river.
"Five-four?" Lin asked as the cards were tabled, but Sidhu revealed A♠4♠ for aces and fours, good enough to scoop the pot.

When he wasn't milking cows on his family dairy farm in Windsor, Texas, Mason Vieth was playing poker at the nearest casino in Thackerville, Oklahoma.
"I grew up milking the cows and playing poker at WinStar World Casino," the former dairy farmer told PokerNews. "I would stay up all night playing poker, then go milk them, then go back. Three days in a row most of the time. No sleep."
Those hard-earned poker chops are now paying off for Vieth, better known as "Milkman," — as embroidered on his royal blue cap —who is one of 533 players who advanced to Day 5 of the World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event.
PokerNews caught up with Vieth during a break on Day 4 as he chased his first bracelet and life-changing money in an event that will award $10 million.
