David Uvaydov raised to 40,000 on the button and then called a three-bet to 120,000 by Mohammad Arani in the big blind. The flop came 4♦3♣2♥ and Arani checked. Uvaydov pushed forward his chips and was barely done with the move when Arani already folded.

With blinds and antes increasing every level, Jorge Ufano needed to make a move and fast.
He found a spot under the gun when he jammed the rest of his stack, which amounted to 160,000. A player in late position called, but folded when Ruben Costa re-raised all in out of the big blind.
Ufano: 3♠3♣
Costa: A♣K♥
Ufano held the lead with a pocket pair, and he won the race with a much-needed double up when the dealer placed 2♣6♦9♣8♠7♥ on the board.

Shortly after losing a portion of his stack, Mohammad Arani limped in from the small blind. Valentino Konakchiev raised to 78,000 and quickly called the shove by Arani for what appeared to be just shy of 20 blinds.
Mohammad Arani: 9♥7♥
Valentino Konakchiev: 10♣10♦
The suited undercards gained some equity with the K♣9♣4♠ flop but bricked the 6♠ turn and 3♦ river.

Tony Miles raised in late position, and then Matt Stout moved all in out of the blinds. Miles snap-called and immediately tabled A♦Q♣, while Stout tabled Ax with an inferior kicker.
The dealer placed 3♥7♣4♦K♠J♥, giving Miles the win and ending Stout's tournament.

On a heads-up flop of A♣J♦7♣ in a three-bet pot, Girish Reknar check-raised from 90,000 to 350,000 to send Artem Metalidi into the think tank. The big stack heading into the day then pushed all-in and Reknar snap-called with the covering stack.
Artem Metalidi: A♠J♥
Girish Reknar: J♣J♠
Metalidi needed an ace to stay in contention but bricked the 3♣ turn and 4♥ river, allowing Reknar to skyrocket to the top of the leaderboard.

Justin Bonomo raised it up to 45,000 and was called only by Adrian Mateos on the button. The K♠10♣9♦ flop was checked by Bonomo, who then subsequently check-raised from 35,000 to 140,000. Mateos stuck around and both checked the 6♠ on the turn.
The staring contest also continued on the Q♥ river on which Bonomo checked. Mateos bet 240,000 and eventually forced a fold from his opponent.

In a single-raised pot to the J♣5♠2♠ flop, the action escalated as Kevin Madar and Ludovic Geilich got their chips into the middle.
Ludovic Geilich: A♦A♥
Kevin Madar: A♠Q♠
The 7♠ turn instantly left Geilich drawing dead to make the 10♠ river a formality. Both stacks were counted and the 530,000 of Geilich were covered to send the Scotsman to the payout desk.

Kyle McClellen raised to 50,000 in early position and received calls from Mike Sowers on the button and the player in the small blind.
The flop showed A♣J♣6♣, which drew checks from the small blind and McClellan. Sowers, though, bet and McClellan called after the small blind folded. The turn produced A♠ and fireworks.
McClellan led into Sowers for 120,000, and Sowers responded by moving all in. McClellan looked at the board, and then called.
Sowers: 6♦6♥
McClellan: A♦K♥
McClellen found his trip aces up against Sowers’ full house and needed help on the river. The 8♠, though, gave Sowers the pot and eliminated McClellen.

The board was all but rushed away as the dealer announced a seat open over on table 659 and Ping Liu was spotted on his way out of the tournament area. His A♥8♠ were still visible and the pot was pushed to Tony Miles, who mentioned that he had won the showdown with pocket jacks.
In the meanwhile, Ankit Ahuja raised from the button and called a three-bet out of the small blind by Jared Jaffee which led them to the A♠Q♣8♦ flop. Jaffee's continuation bet took down the pot as he further increased his growing tower.
Some further assorted counts can be found below.
