Matthias Eibinger raised to 475,000 under the gun to leave himself with one T5,000 chip behind. Action folded around to Danny Tang, who announced he was all in from the cutoff. Everybody yet to act folded and Eibinger committed his last chip.
Matthias Eibinger: 
Danny Tang: 
An ace in the window on the flop 
made it seem as if another double was in the works, but the turn 
changed both players' fortunes, planting Tang firmly out in front and in need of fading a four to score the knockout. The river fell 
to finish the runout and the pot was shipped Tang's way as Eibinger finished the tournament in seventh place.

Jans Arends opened to 100,000 in middle position and action folded around to Sam Greenwood in the big blind. Greenwood defended and the flop came 
. Greenwood checked to Arends, who made a continuation-bet of 75,000 which Greenwood called, bringing the turn 
on board. Both players checked.
The river came 
and Greenwood thought for 25 seconds before checking over to Arends, who in turn thought for even longer, utilizing a time bank extension before announcing he was all in. Greenwood immediately called.
Sam Greenwood: 
Jans Arends: 
Greenwood was once the flop came but the majority of his chips didn't get in the middle until the river when his Broadway was more than good against Arends' pair of sixes, earning him the double to put him over 1 million and resulting in Arends falling below 2 million, though ever-increasing blinds continue to bring the effective average stack size lower and lower as seven-handed play continues.

Danny Tang has been getting a massage since pretty much the time he took a seat in the tournament and said he's not stopping until he busts. Over five hours later, he's still going but asked for a little break. During that break, Tang went card dead so quickly asked for the massage to resume since he was down to just 330,000 chips.
In the next hand, Jans Arends opened to 80,000 from early position and Tang shipped all in for 330,000 in the cutoff. The action folded back to Arends who asked for a count before making the call.
Danny Tang: 
Jans Arends: 
The board ran out 
and Tang held on for a double up, keeping his tournament hopes alive and the massage continues.

Sam Greenwood opened to 80,000 in middle position and was called by Jans Arends in the cutoff. Steve O'Dwyer three-bet to 310,000 from the big blind, getting a fold from Greenwood and a call from Arends.
Action went heads up to the flop 
and O'Dwyer used up 25 seconds of his 30-second shot clock before making a continuation-bet of 160,000. Arends thought for an equal amount of time and then called.
The turn came 
and O'Dwyer thought again, putting out a bet of 300,000 as the dealer gave him a five-second warning again. Arends then went into the tank, needing a time bank extension and about 15 seconds of his allotted time to match the bet.
The river fell 
and O'Dwyer then went into the tank, using an extension of his own and needing another 25 seconds before announcing he was all in. Arends immediately called and both hands were tabled.
Jans Arends:
Steve O'Dwyer: 
The kings-versus-aces scenario led to Arends earning a double at O'Dwyer's expense, taking O'Dwyer below the million-mark as Arends now finds himself chip leader with seven still remaining.
