Heads-up on a board of 2♣8♥6♠A♦, Navdeep Chopra bet 3,000 under the gun and Ka Wai Man called in the cutoff.
Chopra checked the 6♦ river, then snap-called when Man tossed out 6,000. Man then showed 8♠8♣ for a full house and Chopra mucked.
At the same table, Ludovic Geilich has increased his stack to around 45,000, while Niall Farrell is sitting on around 50,000.
Ravi Sheth limped in from early position, as did another player in middle position, before Jorge Palomino moved all in for 12,500 in the cutoff. Ryan Otto called on the button as action went on big blind Nathan Jones.
Jones called Palomino's shove, but Sheth then reshoved. Otto got out of the way as Jones was put to a massive decision.
"He's licking his chops. He's gone from having four bigs to potentially 40," Sheth joked about Palomino as Jones continued to tank for several minutes.
"I'll show," Sheth told him to a round of laughs from around the table. Jones eventually stuck in his chips to call.
Jorge Palomino: 2♠2♥
Ravi Sheth: K♦Q♦
Nathan Jones: J♥J♦
Jones and Sheth were flipping for the massive side pot as the board ran out 6♦7♥5♠10♠5♥, securing the pot for Jones. Palomino was eliminated, while the stacks were counted down and Jones had 93,000 remaining, barely covering Sheth's 85,000.
"I'm never folding to you again," Otto told Sheth as the stacks were being counted.
"It was a pretty big spot for me to represent it. Good call. I do the same thing with queens," Sheth said before making his exit.
Francis Obadun bet 3,100 from the hijack on a board of 5♣K♦4♦2♥ and Nim Rattan called on the button.
The river came the 3♥ and Obadun then moved all in for 32,300. Rattan began tanking as the talkative Obadun, who can usually be heard from across the room, fell silent.
Rattan used up several minutes before she called. "I didn't mean to be rude. I just really wanted to get paid," Obadun said as he turned over 6♦6♠ for a straight. Rattan mucked her hand and Obadun, who finished runner-up in the 888poker LIVE London Main Event earlier this year, doubled up.
"Do you want some change," Obadun joked with tablemate Leo McClean, back to his normally loquacious ways.
"Now we got him going," McClean replied.

Jose Aguilera and Samuel Acheampong were heads-up on a flop of Q♥J♠5♣ where Acheampon bet 3,300 under the gun. Aguilera then moved all in for 13,000 in the big blind and Acheampon called.
Jose Aguilera: K♠Q♣
Samuel Acheampong: Q♦10♣
Aguilera had Acheampong out-kicked with his king as they saw the A♣ fall on the turn. The river came the 9♥ and Acheampong slammed his remaining chips on the table in frustration while Aguilera doubled up.
Jozeph Yandle had a raise of 5,000 in front of him in the cutoff and John Bousfield then reraised to 11,800 under the gun. Ben Yandle then shoved for his last 30,000 and Bousfield snap-called.
Jozeph Yandle: A♥A♠
John Bousfield: K♦K♣
Bousfield had run into the ultimate cooler and was headed toward paying off Ben Yandle's double up as the board came 3♥Q♥J♠Q♦. The river, though, was the K♥ and Bousfield spiked a full house.
Ben Yandle instantly stood up from his seat and snapped a photo of the board before making his exit.
"What a f**king life," tablemate Richard Pearson joked with Bousfield.
Heads-up on a flop of 5♦4♦Q♠, Daniel Bedson bet 1,200 in the cutoff, then called when big blind Ion Bivol raised to 4,200.
Both players checked the 10♣ turn before Bivol led out for 10,000 on the 8♦ river. Bedson took his time before calling.
Bivol then turned over A♦10♦ for the rivered flush and Bedson mucked.
Nathan Jones raised to 1,600 in middle position and received one caller as action went on Edward Overall, who three-bet to 4,300 in the small blind. Jones then four-bet to 11,500 and Overall called.
The flop came K♠8♣A♠ and Jones bet another 6,500. Overall called as the 5♥ fell on the turn.
Jones then put Overall all in for his last 20,000. "Aces, huh," Overall said, tanking for several minutes until he committed his chips.
Jones shrugged and turned over K♦2♦ for just a pair of kings. "Wow," he cried out as Overall showed Q♦Q♣ and Jones found out he was still in the lead.
The river came the 3♣ and Overall was sent to the rail.
At the same time at another table, 888poker Ambassador Ian Simpson was all in for around 20,000 with K♥10♦ on a board of K♣8♣6♦10♣A♥. Matthew Eardley, though, had 9♠7♠ for a straight to win the pot and bust Simpson.
"I'll get it on my next bullet," Simpson said.
