Ivan Luca's open-raise was followed by a three-bet of Adrian Mateos in the big blind and Luca four-bet all in, which Mateos called for 265,000.

Adrian Mateos: {A-Hearts}{K-Hearts}
Ivan Luca: {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}

The board of {K-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{7-Hearts} left Luca with next to no chips, and he shoved the next hand for 14,000 from under the gun. Kitson Kho called out of the big blind for the second all in showdown in a row.

Ivan Luca: {A-Clubs}{5-Spades}
Kitson Kho: {J-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}

While Kho got there with the {J-Spades}{8-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop, the {8-Spades} turn and {A-Spades} river run out gave Luca the better hand.

It only took a few moments and the action accelerated once again. JC Alvarado opened the cutoff for 17,000 with about 150,000 or so behind. From the button, Mateos moved all in having everyone behind him and Alvarado easily covered. The blinds quickly folded, Alvarado called just as fast.

JC Alvarado: {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}
Adrian Mateos: {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}

The board ran out {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{4-Spades}{3-Diamonds} and just like that, with the wheel for Mateos, Alvarado hit the rail.
