Jamie Martin got in preflop from early position for 4,200,000 and was called by Tomohiro Suzuki on the button.
Jamie Martin: 9♥8♥
Tomohiro Suzuki: A♠Q♥
Martin was in need of help to stay alive, and the flop gave him more equity when it came K♦4♥7♥ to give him a flush draw.
The 10♥ turn gave Martin a flush, but Suzuki was drawing to a higher flush.
The heart came on the river, but it was one of two hearts that did not help Suzuki as the 6♥ peeled to give Martin a straight flush as the table reacted with awe at the runout.
Guozhi Li raised to 6,300,000 from the cutoff. Yurii Zabrodotskyi moved all in from the big blind.
After a significant pause waiting for a potential pay jump, Li made the call.
Guozhi Li: 9♣9♠
Yurii Zabrodotskyi: A♦K♦
Li got the runout he needed, as he flopped a set and the full board of 4♠J♠9♦A♥6♥ gave him the double-up.
The action was picked up with the chips of Ben Ramon already in the middle, and David Jackson made the call.
Ben Ramon: K♦K♠
David Jackson: A♥K♣
The board showed: 7♥8♦3♥5♥6♥
Unfortunately for Ramon, his pocket kings didn't hold up against the Ace of hearts of Jackson, who made a flush.
There was approximately 9,000,000 already in the middle on a flop that read 7♥9♥9♦ when this hand was picked up.
Kentaro Okawa checked from early position before Luke Purcell opted to bet 6,000,000 from the cutoff. Okawa took an inventory of the situation as he pondered his decision before he opted to fold.
"Would you have called if I shoved?" asked Okawa.
"Yes," replied Purcell. "Oh shit, but yes."
Purcell showed 10♦10♠ as he dragged in the sizable pot.
Gal Naim opened to 1,600,000 and got called in the big blind by Jason O'Loughlin. The dealer revealed the flop 3♣A♣6♠.
O'Loughlin decided to check. Naim asked if O'Loughlin had 20,000,000 behind. O'Loughlin confirmed, and Naim decided to put in a bet of 1,100,000. O'Loughlin decided to fold.
Justin Smith shoved for 3,550,000 from early position and was called by Ran Yi in the big blind to be at risk.
Justin Smith: J♥8♥
Ran Yi: 4♦4♣
Smith had overcards to stay in the hunt for a bracelet, and one of them came on the 2♣Q♥8♦ flop.
The Q♣ turn and 3♦ river did not sink Smith as he doubled up.
Minjoo Cho raised to 1,600,000 from the hijack and was called by Gal Naim in the big blind.
Both players checked the 2♦5♣3♦ flop to bring the 3♥ turn. Naim put out a bet of 2,200,000 and was called by Cho.
Naim did not slow down on the 6♦ river. This time, he put out a wager of 5,700,000 to put Cho to a decision. Naim could hardly get his chips pushed toward the middle before Cho folded to yield the pot.
