David Coleman A♦4♦ raised to 400,000 from under the gun and won the pot uncontested.
Stephen Song K♦Q♣ was first to act and made it 400,000 and saw Rania Nasreddine 10♦9♦ call from middle position. It was checked to showdown, and Song's high cards were best on the A♥7♥3♠3♦3♥ board.
Marius-Catalin Pertea Q♣10♣ opened to 450,000 from under the gun. Song 9♣8♥ came along from the big blind. Song paired up on the 8♠7♣2♦ flop and check-raised to 950,000 over a bet of 375,000. Pertea released his hand.
Pertea then received a walk in the big blind and the players went on break.
