: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Five players put 8,000 in the middle to see the Q♥5♣4♦ flop, and once the big blind checked, Justin Zaki fired a bet of 23,000. Only Ami Barer made the call from a couple of spots to his left.
The 6♣ fell on the turn and Zaki slowed down with a check before Barer dropped a bet of 34,000 across the line. Zaki took a couple of seconds before flinging his cards into the middle of the table.

Geoffrey Hum bet 12,000 from under the gun on a flop of A♦10♦5♣ and Deer Kim called on the button. Thiago Crema then raised to 50,000 in the big blind and only Kim called.
The turn was the 9♦ and Crema continued for 55,000. Kim again called and the 10♣ fell on the river. Crema then bet 250,000 and Kim attempted to raise to 400,000 but was forced to make it 500,000. Crema had a little less behind and called all in.
Both players ended up turning over ace-ten and chopped the pot with identical full houses.

Two players saw the 10♣2♥4♠ flop and Brian Kim checked it over from middle position to Thiago Crema in the hijack who fired 10,000 into the pot of about 40,000. Kim took a few moments before putting in a check-raise to 43,000 and Crema called.
The A♥ hit the turn, and Kim didn't slow down, tossing 110,000 across the line. Crema called once again.
The 4♣ paired the board on the river and Brian slid 375,000 across the line, putting Crema to the test for his last 373,000. Crema made the call to see Kim's full house as he tabled 2♦2♣. However, it was no good as Crema rolled 10♥10♦ for tens full of fours to score a massive double.

: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Ilia Arkhipov raised to 10,000 under the gun and Chance Kornuth three-bet to 35,000 on the button. Arkhipov then four-bet to 120,000 and Kornuth folded.
The next hand, Kornuth had a raise of 77,000 in front of him in the cutoff and Arkhipov reraised to 160,000 in the big blind. Kornuth then moved all in for 355,000 and Arkhipov quickly called.
Chance Kornuth: A♣J♥
Ilia Arkhipov: A♠K♦
Kornuth found himself dominated and at risk as the flop came Q♠8♣10♠. Arkhipov hit top pair on the K♠ turn, but the same card improved Kornuth to a straight and the 5♣ river sealed his fortunate double up.

Jad Gharios opened the cutoff before Thomas Eychenne three-bet to 40,000 from the small blind, and Gharios called.
On the 7♠5♥2♣ flop, Eychenne continued for a chunky size of 60,000 and Gharios put in the call after some deliberation.
The turn brought the 8♦. Eychenne slowed down with a check before Gharios put out a bet of 125,000. Eychenne responded with a check-raise all in for 400,000 effective as the covering stack. Gharios thought it over for a minute before electing to fold, but did not appear entirely convinced by Eychenne who has been active all day.
