Leonel Guerra Garza raised to 2,000 from middle position and Martin Paap called. Andrew Ostapchenko then pushed all in for 15,900. Garza folded and Paap called. Players flipped their cards, with Ostapchenko at risk.
Andrew Ostapchenko: J♣10♣
Martin Paap: 7♣7♦
The board ran out K♠6♣Q♦K♣9♠. Paap had pocket sevens, but Ostapchenko flopped a straight draw and completed it on the river. He doubled up to bring himself back above the starting stack.
Frederic Breton raised to 1,200 from early position. He was called by Danjel Petro, John Kelly in the small blind and Duc Quy Nguyen in the big blind.
The flop came 7♥A♥9♠. Action checked to Breton, who bet 2,500. Kelly and Nguyen made the call.
The turn came the K♣. Action once again checked to Breton, who bet 8,500. Both players made the call. The river was the 7♠ and all three players checked to showdown.
Kelly showed Q♥4♥ for a busted flush draw. Nguyen mucked his hand. Breton showed K♥9♥. He'd missed his flush draw but still picked up two pair, which was good enough to win him the pot.
Paul Tait raised from the hijack to 1,400, receiving calls from both Giovanny Reyes in the small blind and Roberto Romanello in the big.
The 3♣J♣9♠ flop checked through to the 6♦ on the turn. Reyes took the lead for 2,500 and Roberto Romanello moved all in for 17,200. Tait made a quick fold while Reyes went deep into the tank. Reyes' cards eventually found the muck and Romanello won this pot without a showdown.
Ryan Yu raised from middle position and Jeremy Palvini reraised to 2,200, which Yu called.
The flop came 8♠8♣10♣. Yu checked and Palvini bet 1,500. Yu responded with a raise to 6,000 and Palvini called. The turn came the Q♦. Yu shoved all in and Palvini quickly called. Players flipped over their cards.
Palvini showed K♦K♥ for two pair with pocket kings and the eights on board. Yu showed J♦8♦ for trip eights.
The river came the 7♥ and Yu held to win the pot and eliminate Palvini.
The pot stood at approximately 17,000 with two players looking at a full board that read Q♦10♦A♦2♠A♥.
Uri Reichenstein, who was under the gun, bet out 5,000. In response, Phillipe Barouk, in the cutoff, moved all in for 20,300, sending Reichenstein into the tank.
Reichenstein eventually folded and Barouk proudly slammed K♦J♦ on the table for a flopped royal flush.
Action was on the flop in a reraised pot on a board of K♥8♥6♠. Hamza Nasir continued for 5,000 and Juho Suutari raised to 16,200. Nasir moved all in for not much more and Suutari called. Players flipped their cards, with Nasir at risk.
Hamza Nasir: A♠A♦
Juho Suutari: A♥5♥
Nasir had pocket aces and Suutari was drawing to the nut flush. The turn came the Q♥ and the river the 8♦.
The turn brought Suutari the flush and he let out a cry of "Yes!" as he scooped the pot. Nasir was eliminated from the tournament.
