Angelina Rich opened to 200,000 from the button and Ryan Leng three-bet to 675,000. Rich four-bet to 1,300,000 and Leng five-bet jammed for approximately 5,000,000. Rich, who covered Leng slightly, snap-called to put him at risk.
Ryan Leng: A♦K♣
Angelina Rich: K♥K♠
Leng was well behind Rich's pocket's Kings, but did pick up more outs in the form of a gutshot straight draw on the J♥2♠10♥ flop. The J♣ turn and 9♦ river offered no further improvement and Leng was sent to the rail while Rich scooped in a colossal pot. She now sits on one of the biggest stacks of the tournament with only 11 players remaining.
In a blind versus blind situation, Norbert Szecsi in the small blind raised, and Dzivielevski called in the big blind.
Both checked to the river of a 9♥A♦7♣6♠A♣ board where Szecsi checked for the third time. Dzivielevski took this opportunity to bet 500,000. After a minute, Szecsi decided to check-raise to 1,850,000.
Surprised, Dzivielevski sat up straight to think about this move, and called. However, he had to admit that he lost because Szecsi showed A♥J♥ for trip aces.
Thanks to this hand, Szecsi took the chip lead with more than 10,000,000 chips.
Straight after the restart, Tyler Cornell opened from the button and was reraised by Michael McNicholas who pushed all in for 900,000. Cornell called.
Michael McNicholas: A♥8♥
Tyler Cornell: Q♥10♥
McNicholas was ahead, and couldn't be afraid of a flush. Unfortunately for him, a queen came on the flop on 2♣Q♦8♦2♦4♠, giving Cornell the best pair and sending McNicholas to the rail in 13th place for $51,579.

Almost simultaneously, an "all in and call" situation occurred at every table.
At Table 675, the action was caught on the turn on 7♥8♥10♠8♣. Daniel Lazrus bet 200,000 chips. Tyler Cornell, in the cutoff position, raised to 525,000 chips, and Lazrus called.
When the river card K♠ was revealed, Cornell went all in, and Lazrus hero called with J♦10♦. "I have ace high," Cornell said, revealing A♣6♣. He had to give an additional 725,000 chips to Lazrus, who doubled up.
On table 676, Ryan Leng opened from the cutoff, and Brandon Lulov on the button, as well as Cody Jones in the big blind, called. On the flop 7♣3♠10♦, Jones pushed all in with 325,000 chips. Leng folded, and once again, Lulov had no option but to call.
Cody Jones: 9♠8♠
Brandon Lulov: A♣8♣
Jones had a straight draw on the flop and a flush draw after the turn card K♠. The completion of the flush draw came with the river card 7♠, allowing Jones to double up once more.
Lastly, at Table 686, Pedro Garagnani and William Stanford raised each other and both players went all in on the flop 2♠8♥4♠, creating a pot worth 6.6 million chips.
Pedro Garagnani: K♠8♠
William Stanford: 6♠5♠
Both players had a flush draw, but Garagnani's draw was stronger. The A♣ on the turn did not changer the situation, but the 7♠ on the river completed Garagnani's flush, leading him to claim this massive pot.
Michael Colbert opened to 2,000,000 from the button leaving approximately 400,000 behind. Ryan Leng moved all in with a covering stack and Colbert quickly made the call.
Michael Colbert: 6♥6♦
Ryan Leng: J♥J♠
Colbert was in bad shape versus Leng's superior pocket pair. The flop came 8♠2♠5♣. Colbert picked up more outs on the 4♠ turn but the 2♦ river was a blank. Colbert was eliminated from the tournament and Leng scooped another sizable pot.
