Yasuhito Abe jammed his final 155,000 from middle position and was called by Georgios Sotiropoulos in the hijack, while all subsequent action folded.
Yasuhito Abe: K♥3♥
Georgios Sotiropoulos: A♦8♦
Abe pulled ahead on the K♦Q♠6♦ flop and it stayed that way on the 4♣ turn. However, the 2♦ fell on the river to give Sotiropoulos a flush as Abe hit the rail in the first orbit of play.
Action folded to Anvar Muratov who moved all in for 365,000 in the small blind. John Engledow in the big blind confirmed the amount before calling.
Anvar Muratov: 2♦2♣
John Engledow: K♠J♣
The 9♣9♠6♠ flop gave Engledow outs to counterfeit Muratov's pair, while the turn was the 8♥. Engledow hit the K♥ on the river to make two pair and Muratov was sent to the rail.
Hossein Ensan raised to 80,000 under the gun and Gregoire Auzoux moved all in for 680,000 in the cutoff.
"For the investors," Noah Schwartz said as he snapped a photo of his hand. He eventually folded, while Tetsuro Tomita in the big blind also captured his hand as he folded. Ensan also quickly mucked. Tetsuro then showed the table he had folded two nines.
The next hand, Tomita shoved from the small blind and Ensan called for 400,000.
Hossein Ensan: K♠5♠
Tetsuro Tomita: J♣6♦
"Are you guys rich?" Schwartz said when the cards were revealed. The J♠10♠10♥ flop gave Tomita two pair, while Ensan picked up a flush draw. The rest of the 7♥A♥ board missed Ensan and the Main Event champion was sent to the rail.
"That's disrespectful. Did you look at the jack twice? I thought you played tight," Schwartz joked with Tomita after the hand.
Martins Adeniya moved all in for 600,000 from the cutoff and Arthur Conan called on the button.
Martins Adeniya: K♣J♠
Arthur Conan: A♠J♣
Adeniya was dominated going to the flop, which came A♥4♥7♠ to give Conan a bigger lead with top pair. Adeniya was left drawing dead after the 5♥ turn, while the river was the Q♥ and Adeniya was sent to the rail.
At the same time at another table, Georgios Sotiropoulos was all in for 300,000 and up against Igor Pihela.
Georgios Sotiropoulos: A♦8♦
Igor Pihela: A♥J♠
The board ran out 2♥3♠Q♠6♥Q♣ and Pihela's jack-kicker played to send Sotiropoulos to the rail.
Anatoly Filatov raised to 100,000 under the gun and Abdelhakim Zoufri called in the cutoff. Gregoire Auzoux then moved all in for 700,000 from the big blind and Filatov folded, but Zoufri snap-called to put Auzoux at risk.
Gregoire Auzoux: A♦5♦
Abdelhakim Zoufri: A♠Q♣
Zoufri hit top pair on the Q♥8♣6♦ flop, and Auzoux was already drawing dead after the 3♥ turn. The river was the 3♦ and Auzoux was sent to the rail.
[Removed:554] opened the hijack to 100,000 before Jose Fernandes Scarano jammed for 545,000 from the cutoff. In the big blind, Igor Pihela rejammed covering and [Removed:555] snapped it off for 1,150,000.
Jose Fernandes Scarano: A♦10♣
[Removed:554]: Q♥Q♦
Igor Pihela: 7♠7♣
[Removed:555] was in good position to win a huge one and it stayed that way on the J♦5♠5♣ flop. Nothing changed on the 2♦6♦ runout as Scarano hit the rail and [Removed:555] put a huge dent in Pihela's stack.
A massive pile of chips was already in the middle as Michael Soyza and Abdelhakim Zoufri went to the river on a board of 5♣J♦8♦5♠8♣.
Soyza then bet 600,000 from the big blind and Zoufri moved all in under the gun. Soyza had around 1,200,000 remaining and tanked for a minute before calling.
Zoufri turned over A♠8♠ for a full house and Soyza tossed 5♦4♥ into the muck as Zoufri raked in the enormous pot to send Soyza to the rail.
