Paul W Lee moved all in from under the gun for his last 3,700,000 before Christopher Castellan shoved his larger stack from the cutoff. The rest of the table folded, leaving Lee at risk heads up.
Paul W Lee: Q♠8♠
Christopher Castellan: A♣A♥
"Best hand I've seen in a while," said Lee as he realized he got his chips in against pocket aces. Castellan improved on the A♠K♥5♣9♣3♠ runout, sending Lee to the rail in 11th place.

Amir Mirrasouli opened the hijack to 6,500,000 and Jefferson James shoved the button for 18,900,000. When the action got back to Mirrasouli, he didn't immediately call and seemed to be in a very difficult spot. After some time in the tank, Mirrasouli folded A♥10♠ face up, and James showed 10♣10♥.

Antonio Payne shoved all in from under the gun for 4,300,000 and Oshri Azran made the call from the small blind. Jefferson James then shoved all in for around 25,000,000 from the big blind, and Azran made the call which put two players at risk.
Antonion Payne: Q♥9♥
Jefferson James: A♦Q♣
Oshri Azran: A♠Q♦
Not the spot that Payne wanted to find himself in and after the 3♥Q♠3♣K♦A♥ runout was displayed on board, his run in the event had come to an end. As both Azran and James won the main pot, they split the bounty of Payne.
