In the hand just prior, Martin Zamani had tangled with Hassan Kamel and check-called a bet of 150,000 on the A♣8♣6♠2♥ turn. Zamani checked the 2♠ river and Kamel bet the pot for 275,000 to force a fold from Zamani.
Zamani then raised it up to 85,000 from the button in the last hand of the level before he faced a three-bet to 265,000 by Anton Smirnov in the big blind, which he called. Smirnov potted the 7♣5♥3♦ flop and Zamani called all-in for around 550,000 total.
Martin Zamani: K♣K♦6♣3♥
Anton Smirnov: A♠A♦9♣6♥
The Q♠ turn and J♠ river brought no help to Zamani, as he made no low and his pair of kings was no good either. He departed in 18th place for $24,509.

Martin Zamani raised to 60,000 in middle position, Hassan Kamel called from the cutoff, as did Anton Smirnov on the button, and Ryan Rapaski from the big blind. The flop was Q♥8♠5♠ and Rapaski bet pot, leaving himself with crumbs behind.
Zamani went all in over the top, which quickly got Kamel out of the way. Smirnov, though, appeared to have a big hand for the situation and painfully gave it up after two minutes. Rapaski quickly committed the extra chips.
Ryan Rapaski: A♦Q♣8♦3♥
Martin Zamani: A♣J♥8♣2♦
The turn and river 9♥9♠ brought a pair on the board, meaning Rapaski's two pair (queens and nines with ace kicker) would play for a full double-up, with no low possible.

Paul Volpe raised to 60,000 from under the gun and Naoya Kihara called from one seat over. Joao Simao raised to 275,000 in the cutoff and Volpe tank-folded which prompted "ah, we are still friends."
Kihara called, however, and they headed to the 8♦7♥3♦ flop, on which the shove by Kihara for 105,000 was called by Simao.
Noaya Kihara: A♥5♠4♦2♦
Joao Simao: A♠A♦J♠6♣
The J♦ turn ensured the scoop of Kihara, (with the nut low and nut low diamond flush) to make the 9♠ river a formality.
"How do you find the low cards here and here ... diamonds?!" Simao asked more to himself than Kihara.

Having invested 60,000 preflop, Calen McNeil and Dylan Wilkerson headed to the K♥10♠5♦ flop on which they invested 175,000 each. McNeil then bet the 10♥ turn for 220,000 and Wilkerson quickly folded.

Paul Volpe raised to 60,000 on the button and Joao Simao potted to 190,000 in the big blind, leaving himself with 220,000 behind. Volpe called to see A♥9♥7♠ roll off the deck.
Simao wasted no time getting the rest of his stack in and Volpe went in the tank. The two players had an animated chat while Volpe was considering it.
"Will you show if I fold?" Volpe inquired.
"Is this for information?" Simao roared.
The pair kept quipping back and forth before Volpe ultimately laid it down. Simao was a good sport and flashed A♠A♣7♣Xx, prompting a cheer from Volpe.

Long Tran doubled through Naoya Kihara with A♠Q♦3♥2♣ versus K♥Q♣5♣2♥ when he made a pair and nut-low on the 10♦9♦4♦8♠A♦ runout.
Calen McNeil then chipped up without showdown when he bet the pot on the Q♥J♦4♥9♥ turn against Anton Smirnov before the latter was moved tables.
Dylan Weisman got it in with the A♣A♠5♠2♥ and Stephen Deutsch looked him up with the A♦K♦K♥6♠. The Q♦J♠8♥A♥3♣ board gave Weisman a set of aces and the second nut low to scoop, further denting Deutsch's stack.
Last but not least, Paul Volpe raised to 75,000 in the hijack and Joao Simao potted to 260,000 on the button. Volpe inquired with the floor if there had been a second elimination before he called. The 7♠5♠3♣ flop saw Volpe jam for 210,000 and Simao went into the tank.
They chatted back and forth and Simao casually dropped that he had double-suited aces and could not make a flush. He ultimately folded and Volpe asked if he could show the cards just to him before tossing them all the way over to the other side of the table.
"You can turn them over," Volpe added and the A♦7♦5x4x were shown for a mere second as Simao indeed flashed aces.

After the elimination of Chris Vitch, Anton Smirnov got moved to Martin Zamani's table. He didn't waste much time getting his chips in against Zamani, with the flop reading J♠10♠2♦.
Smirnov was all in and at risk for 740,000 total.
Anton Smirnov: A♦A♥10♥7♠
Martin Zamani: A♠Q♥3♠2♠
"Good game, man," Zamani chuckled.
Smirnov needed to avoid many cards to stave off eliminated and did just that as the board ran out 8♣J♦. He pumped his fists in excitement to celebrate the double-up.

Chris Vitch raised to 70,000 and Martin Zamani three-bet to 255,000. Vitch four-bet shoved all in and Zamani quickly called it off.
Chris Vitch: A♠A♣K♥6♣
Martin Zamani: A♥K♣4♥3♥
The 8♣5♥4♠ flop was much to Zamani's delight, who quipped "favorite, big favorite." The turn brought the 10♣ and the river was the 2♦, completing Zamani's wheel for the scoop.
"Favorite." Zamani comfirmed.

Four players saw a flop of Q♥10♥7♥ and checked it around. On the 7♣ turn, two checks followed to Ryan Hoenig, who bet 100,000. Anton Smirnov and Calen McNeil got out of the way, but Dylan Wilkerson went in the tank.
After a little over a minute, he cut out a check-raise to 200,000, leaving himself a little over 100,000 behind. Hoenig considered it for a bit, then tapped the table in defeat.
