Action was picked up on the river with the board reading 9?10?4?K?8?. Jason Koon had moved all in and Jessica Vierling had made the call with a covering stack.
Vierling had 7?6? for a straight but Koon tabled Q?J? for a higher straight to preserve his tournament life.
Renan Aziz raised with the 5?5? and Nicholas Rigby called from one seat over with the K?4?, Jordan Grant defended with just the A? showing. On a flop of 6?3?2?, Grant check-folded when Aziz bet 45,000 and Rigby raised to 225,000.
Aziz gave it some thought before pushing all-in for 410,000 and Rigby instantly asked for a count. He then made the call with five imminent outs to put Aziz at risk.
The K? struck on the turn to improve Rigby and Aziz was eliminated on the blank A? river.
Scott Berko amassed a gigantic stack in two hands at the tail end of the previous level, and he stopped by the PokerNews desk to tell how it happened.
In the first hand, Berko raised to 35,000 from under the gun with 7?6? and the big blind called. The flop came down K?5?4? with a combo draw for Berko. The big blind checked and Berko continuation-bet for 50,000. The big blind called and the 2? turn was dealt.
Berko now bet another 90,000 with his flush after a check from the big blind. Berko then faced a big check-raise to 395,000, which he just flat-called.
The Q? river fell and the big blind now jammed, covering Berko's stack of 850,000 chips. Berko allegedly tanked for nearly six minutes before ultimately putting in the call. The big blind showed A?5? for a big bluff and Berko's flush scooped a pot to rocket him over the three million mark.
Not much later, Berko was in the big blind himself and faced a raise to 50,000 from the same player, who sat in the small blind this time. Berko called and the flop fell Q?10?3?.
The small blind continued for 110,000 and Berko called. The Q? turn saw the big blind bet another 260,000, leaving around 500,000 behind. Berko jammed all in with the covering stack and the small blind called.
Small blind: J?9?
Scott Berko: 3?3?
Berko had flopped a set and turned a full house, while the small blind only had two outs to a straight flush. Neither of them arrived on the 4? river and Berko eliminated his rival and shot up a stack of 4,000,000 chips.

The final 549 players are now on their final 20-minute break of the night. When they come back, they will play one more two-hour level before the remaining players will bag and tag for Day 5.
Below is an overview of highlights that happened during Level 19.
Dario Sammartino and Ryan Garcia got all of their chips in the middle preflop and it was Garcia at risk for a little over 200,000.
Ryan Garcia: A?3?
Dario Sammartino: 10?10?
Garcia was in search of an ace but it could not be found on the 8?7?6? flop. The 6? paired the board on the turn and the J? hit the river, sending Garcia for the "talk of shame" with Jeff Platt.
Leo Soma, who won his first bracelet in last year's $1,500 Six-Handed No-Limit Hold'em event, opened to 40,000 from the hijack and received calls from a player on the button and David Eldridge in the big blind.
The flop came 2?5?4? and action checked around to Soma, who made a continuation bet of 45,000. Eldridge put in a check-raise to 135,000, folding out the big blind while Soma made the call.
On the 10? turn Eldridge bet 200,000. Soma once again made the call.
The river was the 9?. Eldridge moved all in, covering Soma's remaining stack of 280,000. Soma thought about his decision for about a minute before putting in the call.
Eldridge tabled 8?7? for a bluff while Soma revealed 6?6? for a just a small pair to secure a big double up.
Jordan Westmorland raised 30,000 in early position and Nikita Luther called from a couple of spots to his left before Thien Chung Wu three-bet to 150,000 in the cutoff. Westmorland mucked his hand but Luther stuck around.
The dealer fanned a flop of A?J?5?, and Luther checked to Chung Wu. Wu announced all-in for 665,000 and Luther snap-called, dropping a stack of greens across the line.
Thien Chung Wu: A?K?
Nikita Luther: A?J?
Wu flopped top pair, top kicker but it was no good against Luther's top two pair. Wu couldn't find one of the last remaining kings as the board completed with the 7? on the turn and the 6? on the river.
With Michael Mizrachi making his way to the payout cage, PokerNews caught up with his former table who recounted his bust-out hand.
The under-the-gun player raised to 30,000, Dean Lyall two spots to their left called and Michael Mizrachi defended in the big blind.
The flop of 9x7x4x checked through to the 10x on the turn. Mizrachi took the lead for 50,000, the original raiser folded and Lyall raised enough to put 'The Grinder' all in for his tournament life. Mizrachi called.
Michael Mizrachi: Jx10x
Dean Lyall: 9x9x
The rivered Jx couldn't help Mizrachi and he was sent to the rail.
Theo Devidal raised to 30,000 from the hijack and former chipleader Emmanuel Lopez three-bet to 100,000 from the cutoff. The action folded back to Devidal, who made the call.
The flop came 6?5?6? and Devidal checked to Lopez, who bet out 80,000. Devidal made the call and the 3? arrived on the turn.
Devidal checked again and Lopez went all-in for around 350,000. Devidal snap called with the covering stack.
Emmanuel Lopez: 9?9?
Theo Devidal: A?A?
Devidal had slowplayed his aces and Lopez was drawing slim. The 7? river completed the board and Lopez said his goodbyes while the Frenchman stacked his chips.
