The flop came and the big blind checked to Aziz. Aziz put out a bet of 40,000 and the button folded, but the big blind called.
The turn was the and both players checked. They both checked again on the river. The big blind showed but it was no good as Aziz was holding for top pair. With that Aziz increased his chip lead over the rest of the field even more.
It's another massive pot for Daniel Aziz that vaults him back into the chip lead.
In the hand, Day 1 overall chip leader Rodrigo Navarro shoved all in from under the gun for 77,000. Next to act, Naresh Trivedi called the bet. On the button Daniel Aziz opted to raise, making it 200,000 total to play. The player in the big blind then moved all in for 124,000 total. Trivedi called the 200,000 raise from Aziz creating three pots. A main pot of 77,000 and four calls plus blinds and antes, a side pot with 47,000 more for the big blind's all in and a 150,000 side pot between Aziz and Trivedi with action still to go.

Kara Scott was missing from the feature table as we walked by. We didn't catch her bust out, but we will be checking the live stream for updates to see if we can grab what happened.
We caught a massive pot building on the turn as Alexandre Roese faced off against one other player. There was already over 250,000 in the middle and the board read . Roese's opponent was first to act and he put out a bet of 95,000. Roese called.
The river was the . Roese's opponent checked and Roese quickly checked back. He let out a cheer as his opponent turned up for just top pair. Roese slammed over for an over pair and that was enough for him to earn the massive pot.
