Barny Boatman, Aleksejs Ponakovs, and David Kaufmann have been sent on a 20-minute break.
Barny Boatman opened to 800,000 from the button with A♥2♦ and folded out David Kaufmann and Aleksejs Ponakovs in the blinds.
Kaufmann folded on the button before Ponakovs limped in from the small blind with K♣4♣. Boatman checked his option with J♣9♠. Ponakovs, with a pair of kings, continued for 400,000 on the A♥K♠Q♦ flop before Boatman raised to 1,000,000 with his gutshot. Ponakovs called. The 4♥ turn improved Ponakovs to two pair and action checked through to the 7♦ river. Ponakovs fired out 2,500,000, and Boatman released his jack-high after some posturing.
On the final hand before the break, Boatman accidentally raised out of turn to 1,200,000 from the small blind with 5♣2♣. Ponakovs looked down at 7♣7♠ and limped in from the button, meaning Boatman's raise stood. Ponakovs called and then folded the best hand after facing a bet of 1,300,000 on the A♣J♥5♦ flop.

Aleksejs Ponakovs limped in Q♥10♦ from the small blind and Barny Boatman checked his option with J♦9♥ in the big blind. The flop then fell 7♥J♣8♣ and saw Ponakovs check to Boatman, who made a bet of 500,000.
Ponakovs flicked in a call and the A♥ turn appeared. Both players checked to the 7♣ river, which was also knuckled down. Boatman's pair won him the pot as he extended his lead by just a bit.
The next hand, Ponakovs raised the button to 800,000 and David Kaufmann looked at A♥6♥ in the big blind, which he shipped all in for 6,425,000. A quick fold followed from Ponakovs, seeing him chip down to a seven-figure stack.

David Kaufmann found 10♥10♦ on the button and raised to 800,000. Barny Boatman then three-bet to 2,200,000 from the small blind with A♥J♣. Kaufmann just called and the 9♥K♥3♥ flop fanned out.
Boatman bet out 1,000,000 chips and Kaufmann put in the same amount for a call. The Q♦ came on the turn and Boatman continued to fire, this time for 2,000,000 chips. Kaufmann stuck in another call and the 4♥ river completed the board.
Both players rivered a flush, but Boatman sat on the nuts and flicked in 3,000,000 chips more. Kaufmann called it off with the lesser flush and paid his dues when Boatman tabled his cards.

Aleksejs Ponakov limped in from the small blind with A♣2♣ and Barny Boatman checked his option with 8♥5♦.
Ponakovs and Boatman paired up on the A♥5♠4♥ flop, with the Latvian having the best of it for the time being. Ponakovs, with top pair and wheel draw, fired out 400,000 and was called, bringing in the 7♠ turn. Boatman picked up a straight draw of his own and called Ponakov's bet of 1,200,000.
The 5♥ river gave Boatman trip fives and the winner and halted any momentum that Ponakovs had since doubling up. Ponakovs fired out another 1,000,000 but found the correct fold after Boatman moved all in.
