Ben Lamb opened to 27,000 but was then immediately three-bet to 114,000 by William Kopp to his left. The other players quickly got out of the way and the action was back to Lamb who made the call.
The flop came out 5♣6♦5♠ and Lamb checked to Kopp who continued for 75,000 and Lamb check-raised to 483,000.
Kopp quickly moved all in and Lamb made the call, putting himself at risk.
Ben Lamb: 10♥9♥8♦7♠
William Kopp: A♣A♥J♥10♥
Kopp was ahead with his two pair of aces and fives, but had to fade Lamb's wrap. Unfortunately for Kopp, the turn came the 7♦ which gave Lamb a straight and the river completed with the J♣ to secure his victory.
Lamb scored a big double up to 1,400,000 while Kopp was left with crumbs but has now been able to spin some of it back up to around 175,000.

After multiple limps including Josh Arieh, Sam Soverel, Dylan Weisman and Jordan Spurlin, Ka Kwan Lau raised the pot to 72,000 out of the big blind. Arieh from under the gun and Soverel called as they headed to the Q♦9♣3♠ flop. Lau asked for the size of the pot and then bet 125,000 into 277,000, forcing out Arieh and earning a call from Soverel.
After the 9♦ turn, Lau bet another 175,000 and Soverel came along to the 10♠ on the river. Lau checked with 517,000 behind and chip leader Soverel pulled the trigger by moving all-in.
Lau used three time bank extensions and then called all-in as Soverel flung his Q♥10♥8♦7♦ on the table. Lau had that beat with the K♣J♠10♣7♠ for a king-high straight and earned a huge double.
Despite losing this large pot, Soverel remained not far behind his opponent on the leaderboard.
"You called me with nothing?" Soverel joked.
Lau instantly replied "Nothing, I don't know."

On a completed board of A♦8♦5♣3♠5♦, Evan Krentzman had checked and Bradley Kil pushed forward his large stack that included two towers of T-25,000 chips. He had Krentzman covered by a mile and eventually forced a fold to close in on nearly two million in chips.
"Man, I wanna see these four cards," Joseph Liberta joked and then added "oh Brad, oh Brad" ... while Kil was busy raking in all the chips.

Oliver Weis limped in early position which brought along a limp from a player in middle position, the cutoff, and the button. It was then on Day 1 chip leader Firas Kashat in the small blind who raised less than pot to 27,000.
The big blind folded and action was back on Weis. He didn't take long before announcing "pot". The other limpers got out of the way and Kashat four-bet to an amount that put his opponent all-in. Weis quickly called.
Oliver Weis: A♦6♥9♥7♦
Firas Kashat: A♣K♦6♣6♦
The J♥J♦3♣2♥6♠ board was dicey for Kashat when Weis turned the nut flush draw but the case six on the river gave him a boat and a knockout.
