Joost Schippers raised from the cutoff to 60,000, T.K. Miles moved all in from the button for 320,000, and Schippers called with KcQd.

Miles turned over 5h5c, and needed it to hold to stay alive.

The board came Jd6d4dJs7h, and Schippers flopped a diamond flush draw, but improved no further. Miles won the pot with his pocket fives to double up in chips.

T.K. Miles  –  715,000  (24 bb)
Joost Schippers  –  3,075,000  (103 bb)

With 44 players remaining from a field of 1,162, the average chip stack is around 1,320,000 (44 big blinds). The remaining players are guaranteed at least $16,300 each.

There will be a redraw when the field gets down to the final three tables (24 players), and at that point, blind levels will increase to 90 minutes. Action is scheduled to continue tonight until there are seven players remaining for tomorrow’s live-streamed final table.
