Bernard Larabi had opened from middle position and Derk van Luijk had defended his big blind when Larabi fired a bet of 3,600 on the 9♠K♥8♠ flop. Van Luijk check-called to the 5♦ turn, which was checked by both.
Van Luijk then put in 8,000 on the 3♣ river, which Larabi reluctantly called. Van Luijk tabled K♠9♦ for two pair, and Larabi's cards ended in the muck in defeat.
Shortly after the hand, Stephen Song joined the field, putting four tables into play.
Bernard Larabi opened the action with a raise to 1,200 under the gun. Derk van Luijk called on the button, as did Diego Montone in the small blind. Big blind Mengshi Tian then squeezed in a reraise to 6,200.
Larabi made a quick fold, with Van Luijk and Montone calling to the K♥6♥K♠ flop, where Montone checked to Tian.
Tian fired a bet of 3,200, Van Luijk called, and Montone folded. The 7♦ turn slowed down Tian, who checked before calling the bet of 6,000 by Van Luijk.
Van Luijk sized up to 8,000 on the J♦ river. Tian used one time extension before putting in a final check-call, but mucked his cards when Van Luijk tabled K♦9♦ for the winning three of a kind.
[Removed:553] raised to 1,500 in middle position. Jorge Artiga-Pacheco, seemingly not having noted Simon's raise, announced a raise in the small blind. He was forced to make the minimum raise to 2,400, which Simon four-bet to 8,500.
Artiga-Pacheco called to the 9♦5♠3♦ flop, which he checked to Simon. Simon fired a bet of 7,500, which Artiga-Pacheco raised to 15,600. Simon clicked back to 25,500, after which Artiga-Pacheco shoved all in.
Simon immediately called off his stack of 77,200, and both players were ordered to show down.
[Removed:553]: 5♥5♣
Jorge Artiga-Pacheco: K♠K♦
Artiga-Pacheco needed a king to win the pot, but the 8♠3♣ runout had none in store for him. Simon was awarded a big double-up, leaving Artiga-Pacheco with just 11,500 chips.
Michel Molenaar and [Removed:553] had gathered 16,000 chips in the pot when the dealer completed the Q♦9♠3♣5♠4♠ board. Molenaar checked from the small blind before Simon made a bet of 5,500 under the gun.
Molenaar flicked in a quick call. Simon could only show eight-high with 8♦7♦, which was no match against the Q♥J♥ of Molenaar, who took the pot with top pair.
