Dan Hoidahl and Alberto Gago built a pot of around 25,000 as they went heads-up to a flop of 7♦5♣3♥. Gago then bet 10,000 from middle position and Hoidahl called under the gun.
Both players checked the 10♦ turn. Hoidahl then moved all in on the K♦ river and Gago shrugged before calling for around 40,000.
Hoidahl turned over 10♣10♠ for a turned set and Gago tossed K♠Q♦ into the muck on his way to the rail.
Pol Bellmunt raised to 3,200 in early position, Gerard Villalta three-bet to 8,000 in the cutoff, and Bellmunt called.
The flop came Q♥2♦2♣ and Villalta bet 5,500. Bellmunt called and both players checked through the 2♥ turn.
Bellmunt also checked the 4♠ river and Villalta bet 25,000. Bellmunt took a minute before folding as Villalta showed him K♦K♣ while taking in the pot.
Jack Dean bet 3,500 from the hijack on a board of 2♠4♠A♣3♦ and Axat Mawji called in the big blind.
The river was the 6♣ and Dean moved all in for around 10,000. Mawji quickly called and Dean showed A♦2♦ for two pair, but Mawji had Q♦5♠ for a straight to win the pot and send "Jaack Maate" to the rail.

Nick Eastwood recently busted but quickly fired another bullet.
David Hu was forced all in from the big blind as Bogdan Pop called under the gun. Another opponent in early position then moved all in for 50,000 and Pop called to put both opponents at risk.
David Hu: 9♦7♠
Early-Position Player: Q♠Q♦
Bogdan Pop: A♣K♠
The early-position player remained ahead with his queens on the 2♠10♣6♠ flop, but Pop spiked the A♦ on the turn to make top pair. The river was the 6♥ and Pop scored the double knockout.
The next hand, Dan Hoidahl bet 6,500 from the hijack on a flop of K♥5♦5♣ and Pop called in the big blind, as did another opponent in middle position.
The turn was the 3♥ and the middle-position player moved all in for 10,100. Hoidahl folded, but Pop snap-called with A♠5♠ for trips. The at-risk player had K♦7♦ and needed to improve to stay alive, but he missed the Q♦ river and Pop sent another player to the rail.
Kristian Larsson moved all in for around 20,000 from the small blind and David Hu put him at risk in early position.
Kristian Larsson: A♦A♠
David Hu: 6♠6♦
Larsson showed a pair of aces and was a big favorite to double up against Hu's siixes as the board ran out 5♦9♥A♥Q♦7♣, improving Larsson to a set and securing him the pot.
Six players went to a flop of 8♠7♠Q♥ where Ian Simpson bet 4,000 from the hijack. The cutoff then moved all in for 19,600 and the table folded back around to Simpson who snap-called.
All-In Player: J♣7♣
Ian Simpson: 8♦8♥
The at-risk player had run his pair of sevens into Simpson's flopped set. The 4♦ turn left the cutoff drawing dead, while Simpson secured the knockout once the 9♦ completed the board on the river.
