John Ciccarelli raised to 100,000 in early position before Hongru Zhang three-bet to 265,000 in the cutoff. Gabriel Moura four-bet to 450,000 on the button and Ciccarelli folded.
Zhang, though, checked the tournament clock to ensure he had made a pay jump before moving all in for 900,000 more. Moura snap-called.
Hongru Zhang: K?K?
Gabriel Moura: J?J?
Zhang was far ahead and poised for a double up with his kings as the flop came 8?10?7?. The 9? turn, though, gave Moura a straight, and he secured the knockout once the 10? completed the board on the river.
"I felt like it was coming after that flop," tablemate Adam Kharman said as Zhang made his unfortunate exit.
Francis Anderson was eliminated from this table a few hands earlier.
Tomoki Matsuda opened to 120,000 and was called by Stephen Song in the big blind.
Song checked to Matsuda on the 10?5?Q? flop and he continued for 115,000. Song then check-raised to 375,000 and Matsuda called.
Matsuda called a 650,000 bet from Song on the 2? turn and Song announced he was all in on the 6? river, which was enough to put Matsuda all in for his last 1,700,000.
Matsuda went deep into the tank and the clock was called after about eight minutes.
The floor counted Matsuda down from five seconds and Matsuda stuck in a call at the last moment.
Song turned over Q?10? for top two pair and Matsuda showed he called with A?K? for just ace-high �� eliminating him from the tournament and sending the massive pot Song's way.
Jan Nakladal opened from early position to 100,000 and Nicholas Howard three-bet from the cutoff. Once the action returned to Nakladal, he shoved for around 900,000, and Howard made the call.
Jan Nakladal: A?10?
Nicholas Howard: A?Q?
Nakladal couldn't overtake the hand of Howard despite flopping a flush draw on the 9?6?8?A?K? runout.
Ignas Vaitulionis opened to 100,000 from under the gun and called off his stack of around 1,100,000 after Yegor Moroz moved all in as the bigger stack from the big blind.
Ignas Vaitulionis: 10?10?
Yegor Moroz: A?K?
Vaitulionis remained ahead on the 2?5?5? flop and 4? turn, but the A? river gave Moroz a pair of aces to secure the bust out.
"You just missed a big one," Oren Haziza said as their table had received a face lift with two new players in Patrick Clarke and Gerardo Hernandez. However, the appearance of Irishman Clarke was short-lived as his pocket aces were cracked by the pocket jacks of big stack Neal Corcoran.
The next hand wasn't as big as Haziza opened to 80,000 from under the gun and Corcoran called, as did Abdullah Al-Shanti in the big blind. Al-Shanti check-folded the 5?5?2? flop to a bet of 100,000 by Haziza, while Corcoran called.
Haziza led the 5? turn for 275,000 and Corcoran folded.
