Bryce McVay opened to 80,000 from early position and Clement Van Driessche three-bet to 235,000 on the button. Once the blinds folded, McVay shoved for around 1,000,000, and Van Driessche snap-called.

Bryce McVay: A♥K♠ All in

An unfortunate situation for McVay who did pick up some chop outs on the flop and turn, but couldn't survive after the dealer put out the 4♣3♦5♠6♦J♥ board.

Russell had a bet of 350,000 in front of him and called fairly quickly after Minagar moved all in.

Charles Russell: 10♦10♣

It was a flip but one that Russell won after the board ran out Q♥5♥10♥2♠6♥ to improve him to a set, forcing Minagar out of the tournament.

At roughly the same time, Zakhar Galper was eliminated from another table.

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Heads-up on a flop of J♣6♥5♥, Taras Sopotnytskyi bet 275,000 from the small blind and Pedro Safar called in middle position.

Both players checked the 8♥ turn and the 7♠ fell on the river. Sopotnytskyi then bet another 475,000.

Safar spent a few moments shuffling around his chips before sliding them all forward, a bet totaling 1,255,000. Sopotnytskyi instantly leaned back in his seat and let out a deep sigh as he stared at the ceiling.

He eventually turned back toward the table and buried his head in his hands before folding as Safar took down the pot.
