With a flop of A♠10♥6♦ and about 750,000 chips already in the middle, Jake Schindler check-raised a bet of 200,000 to 500,000 from Brandon Wittmeyer. Wittmeyer made the call.
The Q♦ peeled off on the turn, and Schindler slowed down with a check. Wittmeyer fired a bet of 800,000 and Schindler called.
When the 9♣ completed the board, Schindler checked once again before Wittmeyer pushed forward two stacks of greens for a bet of 1,000,000. Schindler went deep into the tank, using seven time banks, and eventually pitched his cards into the muck.

Everybody crowded around Sergio Aguero when Johannes Straver asked him for his last 700,000 chips on a K♥A♦7♠10♦5♥ board.
At the beginning of the hand, Straver opened from the hijack, and Aguero defended in the big blind.
On the flop, Aguero called a continuation bet of 150,000, then a second barrel of 300,000 on the turn. On the river, Straver bet more than Aguero's stack, putting the soccer player into the tank.
Aguero thought about his decision for 4 minutes. He seemed like he didn't know what to do. But in the last seconds, his decision was made, and he called.
Sergio Aguero: K♠2♣
Johannes Straver: A♣8♣
Aguero tried to hero call with a pair of kings. However, Straver had the ace and won the hand. Aguero joined his emphatic rail and left in 19th place for $88,506.

Daniel Negreanu opened to 240,000 in the cutoff before Christoph Vogelsang three-bet to 500,000 next to act. Gergely Kulcsár put in a four-bet to 850,000, forcing Negreanu out of the pot and Vogelsang called off his remaining 60,000.
Christoph Vogelsang: K♥J♣
Gergely Kulcsár: J♥10♥
Vogelsang was in great shape to nearly triple his stack until the Q♥8♥7♥ flop hit the board, giving Kulcsár a flush. Vogelsang wasn't drawing dead but couldn't find another heart as the board completed with the 9♠ turn and 4♠ river, sending him to the payout desk in 18th place.

Nacho Barbero had just run over and touched Jason Koon for good luck at a different table, and immediately sat down to raise 950,000 under the gun. The action folded around to Alex Kulev in the big blind and he made the call.
The dealer fanned a flop of K♠7♥5♠, and Kulev check-called Barbero's last 60,000.
Nacho Barbero: A♠Q♦
Alex Kulev: A♥J♥
Barbero's ace-high was slightly better than Kulev's and the board completed with the 5♥ on the turn and the 2♠ on the river.
"I instantly doubled up!" Barbero yelled to Koon, "I swear you are the most blessed guy alive. Legit."

Johannes Straver raised 240,000 in the cutoff and Moshe Refaelowitz came along in the big blind.
When the A♠5♦4♣ flop hit the felt, Refaelowitz check-raised the bet of 180,000 to 500,000. Straver called.
The 2♦ hit the turn, and Refaelowitz took some time before making a decision, tossing a time bank chip for an extra 30 seconds. Eventually, he pushed forward a bet of 850,000 and Straver mucked his hand.

Nacho Barbero opened to 325,000 on the button and Jake Schindler defended the big blind.
The dealer fanned a flop of 10♥8♣6♠, and Schindler check-raised Barbero's bet of 250,000 all-in. Barbero had about 1,800,000 and called.
Nacho Barbero: 9♦9♥
Jake Schindler: K♦10♣
Schindler out-flopped Barbero with top pair and Barbero couldn't find one of the remaining nines in the deck as the board completed with the 6♦ turn and the 4♥ river.
