Jessica Teusl kicked things off with a raise to 4,000 from middle position, and Jovan Kenjic in the small blind called.
On the flop of K♣4♠2♥, Teusl continued with a bet of 3,000, which Kenjic check-called.
Both players checked when the Q♣ hit on the turn.
Then came the J♣ on the river. Kenjic looked at Teusl and said,"I’ll be honest, I have a straight flush."
After a quick glance at his cards, he corrected himself: "No, a royal flush. If I bet, will you call?" Teusl replied, "I’ll pay."
Kenjic led out with a small bet of 2,000, and Teusl honored her word by calling.
When Kenjic revealed A♣10♣, he wasn't lying—he indeed had a royal flush. Teusl chuckled, saying, "Good thing you corrected yourself because I had the nine of clubs and wouldn’t have believed you and get myself in trouble"

With three players seeing a board of Q♥3♦9♥ and around 9,000 in the middle, Vivian Saliba bet 5,500 from the big blind, forcing a fold from Carlo Savinelli in early position before Dinesh Alt made the call from the button.
On the 4♣ river Saliba fired another barrel for 7,500 and once again was called by Alt.
Saliba could only show a missed gutshot with K♣J♣ while Alt turned over second pair with K♦9♦ to take the pot.

Jorge Pardo had become incredibly shot-stacked with just 200 remaining. He put them across the line from the cutoff, and Kevin Fluegel shoved from the button for 15,000. Paul Runcan was going bounty hunting from the big blind as he made the call to put both at risk.
Jorge Pardo: A♠J♦
Kevin Fluegel: A♦6♥
Paul Runcan: Q♦6♣
There was no help for Runcan on the A♥4♣J♥J♠8♥ runout, and he would have to wait until the next hand to go bounty hunting. Pardo hit a boat and moved up to a stack of 1,000, and Fluegel doubled up through Runcan.

With two players seeing a board of A♦4♠J♠ and around 20,000 already in the middle, Stefan Drusca bet 6,500 from the hijack and David Dongwoo Ko made the call from the button.
On the 5♠ river Drusca moved all in for a bit under 30,000 and Ko snap-called with a covering stack to put him at risk.
Stefan Drusca: A♥K♠
David Dongwoo Ko: 10♠9♠
Drusca had top pair but Ko was well ahead with a turned flush, needing only to fade a fourth spade to secure the elimination. The 10♣ river changed nothing for either player and Drusca was sent to the rail while Ko continued adding chips to his stack.

With around 24,000 in the middle on a flop of 9♠5♥9♦, Jessica Teusl checked from under the gun and Jovan Kenjic bet 3,500 from the cutoff. Teusl called.
Both players checked the 10♠ turn and Q♦ river. Teusl confidently turned over 3♠3♦ for an underpair, which was good as Kenjic mucked his hand

On a flop of A♦3♦2♦, Stanislaw Miadzel shoved all in holding A♣Q♠ and was called by Aaron Duczak with K♦K♣.
Miadzel’s pair of aces had him in the lead, and things were looking good when the 4♥ hit the turn.
But the J♦ on the river completed Duczak’s flush, knocking Miadzel out of the tournament as Duczak scooped the pot and claimed the bounty.
