Colbert Silva raised it up to 240,000 on the 8♥7♣5♦4♠ turn and was called by Xiang Zou before both checked the 3♠ on the river.
Zou was first to table his cards and revealed the J♣9♣, which Silva had beaten holding the A♠J♠.
Kaifan Wang opened to 40,000 on the button before Alan Nosonchuk jammed for 648,000 from the big blind, and Wang confirmed the count before he elected to call as the covering stack.
Alan Nosonchuk: K♥K♣
Kaifan Wang: 7♦7♣
Nosonchuk was in good shape with the dominating pair as the A♥K♠3♣ flop improved him to top set. It was all over on the 2♠ turn to the 3♥ river, and Nosonchuk collected a massive double.
Michael Lent had already been eliminated and Amir Zaken took his seat only to get his chips into the middle against James Driscoll.
Amir Zaken: 7♥7♠
James Driscoll: K♦J♦
The over cards got there on the J♠10♥9♠Q♥5♦ board for Zaken to bust as well.
Driscoll pulled the bounty thereafter and notched up one of the higher ones so far for $1,375.

Adam Goldman put his hopes on the K♦Q♦ but couldn't beat an ace of Michael Ngai on the 9♠4♦3♣10♠10♥ runout to become the next casualty.
New chip leader George Grabe added more chips to his massive tower, too, after he sent out Tiffany Lee.
On the same table, MG missed two bounties with J♥4♥ when he flopped a flush draw and gutshot as Christopher Shum prevailed.
MG was then all-in with ace-king against pocket queens and couldn't see the board, but made kings full of jacks.
Simon Lau from the hijack and Corbin Avery from the cutoff were heads-up to the turn with about 250,000 in the middle already.
The with board reading 9♠8♣7♥4♣, Lau checked to Avery who jammed for his remaining 286,000. Lau contemplated for over a minute before he flicked in a chip to call as the covering stack.
Corbin Avery: Q♠Q♣
Simon Lau: 5♠5♥
Avery was in good shape to double with the overpair, but Lau still had six outs to improve. The 6♦ would peel off on the river, giving Lau the straight to eliminate Avery in brutal fashion.
The cards were all but rushed into the muck when William Lau handed his payout ticket over to Thomas Puccio after the following preflop all-in.
William Lau: A♥J♣
Thomas Puccio: J♠J♥
The 10♦6♣2♠7♥5♥ board kept the pocket pair in the lead to send Lau out of the tournament.
Level: 17
Blinds: 10,000/20,000
Ante: 20,000
John Fields jammed his remaining 38,000 from middle position before Tameka Farrell-Bowman rejammed for 99,000 from the small blind. David Kilcoyne flatted in the small blind to put both players at risk.
John Fields: A♦6♦
Tameka Farrell-Bowman: A♠10♠
David Kilcoyne: 5♥5♣
Kilcoyne took out his hunting gear as the K♥9♠7♠ flop kept the fives in front while Farrell-Bowman picked up the nut flush draw. Nothing changed on the 8♥ turn, and the 7♥ river left Kilcoyne's fives best, and he scored the double elimination.
