Antonio Galiana raised to 60,000 in early position and Bradley Guan called in the big blind.
The flop came 10♠7♣4♦ and Galiana continued for 65,000. Guan called, and they both checked the 6♦ turn.
The river was the A♣ and Galiana bet 260,000. Guan then raised to 700,000, and Galiana snap-called.
Guan turned over A♦10♥ for two pair, and Galliana mucked.
While this hand was in progress, tablemate DJ Sharma mentioned that he owns several McDonald's franchises back home in Canada. "Are you going to bring Happy Meals for everyone?" Jiacheng Li asked.
"If you guys come to Canada, I'll give you a Happy Meal," Sharma replied.
Aliaksei Boika opened to 60,000 from late position and Mark Lacoste moved all in on the button for his last 415,000. Boika called, and the pair tabled their hands.
Mark Lacoste: J♣10♦
Aliaksei Boika: A♦Q♠
Lacoste was behind and at risk of busting out of the main event and the 4♣5♦6♦ flop didn't change anything.
A 10♠ turn saw him improve to a pair, which held to get the double up after the 5♥ was placed as the river.
After Matthew Lapossie raised to 60,000 in the cutoff, Moonho Seo and Peng Shan both called in the blinds.
All three players checked on the 10♣7♥6♣ flop, but after Seo checked again on the 10♥ turn, Shan fired out for 55,000. Lapossie called, but Seo folded.
Shan bet again on the 5♣ river, this time for 90,000. Lapossie opted to call, but quickly mucked his cards when Shan tabled a full house with his 10♠7♦.
Sinan Shathaya opened to 60,000 from the hijack and Ben Ramon three-bet to 315,000 on the button, leaving himself just 35,000 behind. Action folded back to Shathaya, who tanked a while before deciding to move all in. Ramon called to put himself at risk and a showdown was held.
Ben Ramon: A♥K♥
Sinan Shathaya: 9♣9♦
Shathaya was happy to see his was flipping, and let out a muted, "Yes!" after the 4♠7♠J♠3♦7♦ runout kept his nines best to eliminate Ramon.
Big blind Alex Foxen had Philipp Hasenburger in the hijack at risk preflop for his last 475,000.
Philipp Hasenburger: J♠J♦
Alex Foxen: Q♥Q♣
The K♣7♣6♣ flop left Hasenburger with one out, but he regained his other out on the 6♦ turn. The 7♦ river brought no jack, however, sending Hasenburger to the rail.
Michael Conoran raised to 60,000 from middle position, and Shaun Deeb decided the price of poker should go up, three-betting to 185,000 from the button. Conoran elected to call.
The dealer spread a flop of 5♦9♥A♣, and Conoran quickly checked. Deeb immediately fired a continuation-bet of 105,000, which was enough to get Conoran to lay his hand down.
Ihar Soika three-bet to 240,000 in the small blind before Jeff Weiss four-bet to 640,000 in the big blind. The table folded back around to Soika, and he called to see the 8♠J♥10♠ flop.
Both players checked to the 9♥ turn, where Soika led out for 435,000. Weiss tanked for a few minutes until sliding his cards back to the dealer.
