Alejandro Sanchez raised to 3,600 in middle position, and T.P. three-bet to 9,600 in the cutoff. Sanchez responded with a four-bet to 29,600, which T.P. called after some thought.
Sanchez continued for 22,000 on the 8♥Q♦8♦ flop, and T.P. obliged with a call. Sanchez then fired a huge shove on the 7♠ turn, moving all in for 130,000.
T.P. spent some minutes in the tank before the clock was called. Near the end of his countdown, he made the call with the covering stack.
Alejandro Sanchez: K♦K♣
T.P.: 10♥10♦
Sanchez was a big favorite to win the pot, but T.P. hit one of his two outs on the 10♠ river. Gasps were heard from the other players at the table and the gathered spectators as a stunned Sanchez headed to the rail.
T.P., meanwhile, raked in the giant pot and ended with a stack of nearly 250 big blinds.
Csaba Kovacs raised to 3,200 in late position, getting no fewer than four callers along to the 8♥9♦K♣ flop. Sinead Davenport and Trung Tran checked from the blinds to Kovacs, who continued with a bet of 4,500.
Shaun Williams called in the cutoff, as did Jack Rhodes on the button. Davenport was the only one who mucked, as Tran also came along to the 7♥ river.
Tran led out for 16,000, and Kovacs committed his stack of 24,700 to the middle. Williams and Rhodes had seen enough and folded, forcing a showdown.
Csaba Kovacs: 8♦7♦
Trung Tran: 10♠6♦
Tran had turned a straight, and Kovacs' two pair did not become a full house on the 5♥ river, resulting in his exit.
Level: 8
Blinds: 800/1,600
Ante: 1,600
T.P. raised to 2,500 under the gun. Stefan Lazar tossed in a call from the cutoff before Bernardo Bugalho bumped it up to 8,000 in the small blind.
T.P. and Lazar both came along to the 6♠Q♠8♠ flop, where Bugalho continued for 10,000. T.P. called, after which Lazar quickly folded.
The 6♣ turn then checked through to the 5♦ river, where Bugalho moved all in for 95,000. T.P. snap-called and tabled 8♥6♥ for a full house.
Bugalho's K♠K♣ were no good, and he said his goodbyes before exiting the tournament area.
Matthew Davenport had recently entered Day 1d when he got involved in a pot against Bernardo Bugalho. From middle position, Davenport checked on a 7♣5♦5♣9♠ turn, after which Bugalho moved all in from the cutoff.
Davenport immediately called off for 36,500, around the size of the pot, and the players tabled their cards.
Matthew Davenport: 6♥5♥
Bernardo Bugalho: A♠A♣
Bugalho did not river a full house on the 8♣, meaning Davenport booked a double-up with his flopped trips.
Timothy Ebenezer's final 15,000 was committed on a 9♣6♦4♥ flop, being looked up by Michael Rosaman.
Timothy Ebenezer: 10♦10♣
Michael Rosaman: 6♥6♣
Ebenezer's neighbor Nick Eastwood was rooting for a ten, but his cries were in vain as the dealer completed the board with the A♠ turn and A♥ river, securing Ebenezer's elimination.
