The board fell 6?K?3?3?6? as Fava collected $26,778.50 for seventh place. A few hands later, though, ikszoorn busted after shoving with A?4?. AmirSF woke up with Q?Q? and called. No ace appeared and ikszoorn left with $39,020.10 for sixth place. Not much later detroitj6 ran 8?8? into Anders "RoxmorE" Losvik's Q?Q? and finished fifth when the board came Q?9?10?5?3?.

HuBaer582 exited at 500,000/1,000,000/100,000, and Anders Losvik again claimed the knockout. This time his A?9? got the best of HuBaer582's A?J? as the board rolled out 9?9?7?6?J?.

Brandon "BP7000" Poe was eliminated at 30,000/60,000/7,500 when he ran K?Q? into flipchik24's AcKh. The board rolled out 8?K?K?10?9? and flipchik24's ace kicker played. Poe finished in fifth for $32,598.36. Next, Tim "BegsClutch" Begley was sent to the rail in brutal fashion. He opened to 140,000 on the button and flipchik24 re-raised to 367,000 in the big blind. Begley made it 730,000 to play and flipchik24 called. The flop came 7?6?5? and flipchik24 check-called Begley's all-in bet of 1,542,656 with J?J?. Begley tabled K?K? and seemed primed to double up. Fourth street was the 9?, but the J? landed on fifth street and Begley pocketed $43,464.48 for fourth.
Ryan "toetagu" Fair fell next, at 40,000/80,000/10,000. Flipchik24 made it 240,000 to play on the button and Fair shoved for 2,372,649 in the small blind.
