Kully Sidhu moved all in for 30,000 from under the gun and Davide Magnan called in the cutoff.
Kully Sidhu: K♠Q♣ 
Davide Magnan: A♣9♠
Sidhu hit a pair of queens on the Q♦J♠2♦ flop to take the lead, while the rest of the board came 5♦9♥ to keep him in front and secure him a double up.
Arun Sood raised to 5,000 in middle position, Joe Hindry moved all in for 30,000 from the hijack, and Sood quickly called.
Joe Hindry: A♠3♠
Arun Sood: A♦A♥
"My God," tablemate Alex O'Brien exclaimed after Sood turned over his aces. The board ran out 10♣Q♦9♦10♠J♥ and Sood left Hindry debating with himself whether to rebuy tonight or wait until tomorrow.
Arun Sood and Reza Mostafavita built a pot of around 40,000 preflop, and Sood threw in 32,000 from the small blind even before the dealer turned over the 9♦4♠5♣ flop. Mostafavita then moved all in for 76,500 in the cutoff, and Sood snap-called.
Reza Mostafavita: 2♦2♥
Arun Sood: A♣K♣
Mostafavita was ahead with his deuces until the K♥ fell on the turn, giving Sood top pair. The river was the 10♠ and Sood took the pot to send Mostafavita to the rail.
Andrei Teodorescu again reached to give Sood a fist bump, and this time Sood returned the favor. "Having fun?" Teodorescu asked him.
"Of course. Always," Sood replied.
Jack Hardcastle moved all in for 34,000 from the small blind and Ali Abdulzahra put him at risk on the button.
Jack Hardcastle: 10♦10♥
Ali Abdulzahra: K♦J♥
The flop came 10♠5♠2♣ to give Hardcastle top set, and he already began taking back his chips in anticipation of his double up. "Queen," Abdulzahra pleaded, and he got his wish as the Q♥ fell on the turn.
Hardcastle put his chips back in the middle and awaited the river, which was a harmless 6♣ as he finally celebrated his double up.
Andrei Teodorescu moved all in for 25,000 from the big blind on a flop of A♥Q♥10♣, and Arun Sood called in the cutoff.
Andrei Teodorescu: A♦8♥
Arun Sood: K♥10♦
Teodorescu was ahead with top pair, while Sood had a pair and straight draw. The turn was the 3♦, while the 5♣ fell on the river and Teodorescu doubled up.
Teodorescu leaned across the table and went to give Sood a fist bump after the hand. "No. Next time when I win," Sood told him.
"I'll take you out," Teodorescu added.
"I don't mind," Sood replied as the two players exchanged some playful banter.

Davide Magnan bet 12,000 from the button on a flop of A♦4♣3♦ and Reza Mostafavita called in the small blind.
The turn was the 2♣ and Magnan moved all in for 34,900. Mostafavita took a minute before calling with 6♣6♦, while Magnan had A♣K♦ for top pair.
Mostafavita was looking for a six or five to make a straight, but he missed the 8♠ river as Magnan jumped out of his seat and let out a deep breath as the dealer pushed him over the pot.
"You didn't believe I had an ace?" he asked Mostafavita after the hand.
"I knew you had an ace. Big pot. I needed a five or a six. I play my game," Mostafavita replied.
At another table, Antoine Labat had three-bet to 13,000 in the big blind and Ali Abdulzahra called in the cutoff.
Action was checked to the river on a board of J♥5♦8♠3♠Q♦ when Labat bet 21,000. Abdulzahra then moved all in, and Labat called for his last 40,000.
Labat showed A♠Q♠ for top pair, but Abdulzahra had a set with 3♥3♦ to win the pot and send Labat to the rail.
