Cedric Schwaederle recalled the action until the river in a huge pot between Aren Bezhanyan and Yilu Yuan.
There was an open from late position, which Bezhanyan called on the button before Yuan three-bet squeezed from the big blind. Only Bezhanyan called.
They went to a flop of 8♦Q♥7♠, where Yuan continued and Bezhanyan called.
Both checked the J♣ turn to the 2♠ river, where Yuan bet 250,000. Bezhanyan then shoved, which put Yuan to the test for his remaining 355,000. After thinking it over, Yuan eventually tossed in a chip.
Bezhanyan then revealed J♠9♠ for a pair of jacks, but Yuan held A♥J♥ for the same pair of jacks but with a better kicker.

Christos Leantzis: A♠A♣ 
Sukhrat Massimov: A♥K♥
Leantzis was the at-risk player, but his aces held strong on the 7♥7♠8♣K♦4♥ runout, which secured him a double-up.

Three of the players that hit the rail were Ahmed Slimen, Tudor Lazar, and Emad Zarghami, with the latter getting his last 100,000 in preflop against Aren Bezhanyan, who he just lost most of his chips to.
Emad Zarghami: A♣9♣
Aren Bezhanyan: K♥7♥
Zarghami was ahead on the 10x10x2x3x board, but the 7x on the river paired Bezhanyan's seven, which ended Zarghami's run.
All three of the players that were eliminated will split a min-cash of $1,250.

: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
During hand-for-hand play, there were no less than five all-in-and-calls.
Felipe Ketzer managed to double up in a hand against Joseph Sabe, where the chips went in preflop to leave Ketzer at risk for his 365,000.
Felipe Ketzer: A♦K♦
Joseph Sabe: K♣J♦
Sabe paired his jack on the 6♦J♣3♦ flop, but had to fade a lot of outs as Ketzer had a flush draw. The 9♥ was a brick, but the 10♦ river kept Ketzer alive.
On another table, Mohamed El-Wely was all-in for 430,000 against Razvan Sabau.
Mohamed El-Wely: A♠K♥
Razvan Sabau: 3♦3♥
El-Wely flopped a straight draw on Q♠10♥9♣ and connected with it on the J♦ turn, which left Sabau drawing dead. A meaningless 4♥ filled out the board, and El-Wely doubled up.
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Konstantin Voronin opened from middle position to 40,000 and Aren Bezhanyan called in the cutoff before Emad Zarghami three-bet from the small blind to 190,000. Voronin folded, and Bezhanyan came along.
The flop came 10♣K♥2♦ and Zarghami fired out 130,000, which Bezhanyan called to the 2♥ turn, Again Zarghami bet, this time for 150,000, and Bezhanyan called once again.
An A♣ filled out the board on the river and Zarghami thought for a while before he slid in 355,000, leaving himself around 100,000 behind. Bezhanyan snap-called.
Zarghami revealed two pair with A♦10♥ and seemed confident that he had won the hand, but Bezhanyan slowly revealed Q♦J♦ for Broadway to take the pot.
