Action was picked up as Blake Bohn was all in against Mei Seow.
Blake Bohn: K♣Q♣
Mei Seow: 7♥7♦
The flop came J♦A♥5♠, at this point Bohn shouted "Ten!", but no luck as the board ran out 4♦ on the turn and the 6♦ on the river.
Mike Holtz raised from middle position to 400,000 and Louise Francoeur jammed from a few seats over for 1,300,000. Holtz made the call when the action got back to him.
Louise Francoeur: A♥10♦
Mike Holtz: A♠2♠
Francoeur had the better ace, but the 9♦4♦2♣ flop gave Holtz the lead with a pair of deuces.
The remainder of the board ran out 6♠A♦ and Francoeur was the 15th-place finisher of the event.
Elliott Hayes moved all in with 895,000 chips from the cutoff. Jason Hickey called from the button.
Elliott Hayes: K♠10♦
Jason Hickey: A♦8♣
The runout came 9♥4♥9♠3♦9♦, knocking Hayes out of the tournament.
Honghao Shi raised to 785,000 from middle position, leaving a mere 5,000 behind. When the action reached Jeremy Halaska in the big blind, he moved all in.
Shi, who had 5,000 left, delayed his decision long enough for the clock to be called on him. He then called before the countdown ended.
Honghao Shi: K♥J♠
Jeremy Halaska: 10♣9♣
The runout came 8♠2♦8♥10♠9♠ giving Halaska the win.

Renato Spahiu jammed from early position for 1,350,000 and Ivan Uzunov made the call from the big blind to put him at risk.
Renato Spahiu: A♣6♦
Ivan Uzunov: A♦J♦
Spahiu was in bad shape with ace-six against the ace-jack of Uzunov.
The 2♦J♠7♣ flop left Spahiu needing running cards to survive, and once the K♠ hit the turn, his tournament run was over in 18th place, making the 2♣ river little more than a formality.
Ivan Uzunov raised to 300,000, Carlos Chu called on the button and Mark Harken called in the small blind.
Action checked to the river as the board ran out 3♣6♣10♣Q♠9♦. Chu decided to bet 500,000 and got a quick call from Harken, and a quick fold from Uzunov.
Harken tabled his hand first with A♥10♥, but could not beat the rivered set of Chu with 9♠9♥.
Kevin Tucker raised to 300,000 under the gun and Carlos Chu three-bet the small blind to 950,000. Tucker four-bet ripped it, and Chu called for his stack of 2,100,000 to put himself at risk.
Carlos Chu: A♠A♣
Kevin Tucker: 3♦3♣
Chu held the preflop nuts against Tucker's pocket threes.
Both players improved to boats on the 4♣J♠J♣8♦J♥ runout, but it was Chu's jacks full of aces that won the pot, earning him the double-up.
