There was around 15,000 in the pot as Jack Hardcastle and Terence Jordon went to the turn on a board of 3♥A♥10♣6♣. Hardcastle then bet 14,500 from the button and Jordon moved all in from middle position.
Hardcastle tanked for a moment but eventually called for his last 40,000, turning over A♠J♦ for top pair. Jordon, though, had 6♦6♠ for a turned set and Hardcastle was already drawing dead. The 10♦ river improved Jordon to a full house and sent Hardcastle to the rail.
"So well disguised," a tablemate said to Jordon.
Christopher Guertin moved all in for around 20,000 from the small blind and Stewart Davie put him at risk under the gun.
Christopher Guertin: 8♣8♠
Stewart Davie: 10♠10♥
Guertin's eights were far behind Davie's tens and the 4♠K♥Q♥J♠J♥ board didn't provide him with any miracles as he was sent to the rail.
Action folded to Nick Eastwood in the small blind who raised to 4,000. Richard Heveli came along from the big blind and they saw a flop of Q♣9♣5♥.
Eastwood continued for 5,700 and Heveli called. Both players then checked the 10♥ turn.
Eastwood also checked the 8♣ river and Heveli bet 15,000. Eastwood snap-called with Q♦J♦ for top pair, while Heveli could only show A♣6♦ for ace-high as he mucked.
"If you shove there, I'm hating my life," Eastwood told him.
Abel Aspas was on the button and three-bet to 7,000 as Sotirios Grantsaris called in middle position.
The flop came 4♥2♠6♦ and Aspas bet 5,500. Grantsaris called once more and the 7♥ fell on the turn. Aspas then bet enough to put Grantsaris all in.
Grantsaris had around 20,000 remaining and took a few minutes before folding. "Did you have a big pair there?" he asked Aspar, who nodded his head and took in the pot.

Bernie McGinlay bet 2,000 from the button on a flop of 3♠2♥J♥ and Gavin Naughton called in the small blind, as did big blind Nick Eastwood.
All three players checked the K♠ turn and the 6♠ fell on the river. Action checked around to McGinlay again and he resumed betting with 7,200. Only Naughton called.
"Queen-high," McGinlay announced, and Naughton showed A♥J♠ for a pair of jacks to win the pot.
Gavan Ryan bet 4,000 from the hijack on a flop of J♠10♦6♦ and Dale Wilson raised to 10,000 in the small blind. Ryan then moved all in for 20,000 and Wilson called.
Gavan Ryan: 10♣6♣
Dale Wilson: Q♥J♥
Wilson showed down top pair, but Ryan had flopped two pair and stayed in the lead through the 3♠ turn and 5♥ river to earn the double up.
