Jonathan 'xMONSTERxDONGx' Karamalikis opened from under the gun to 3,000 and received calls from Joe Hachem, Patry Guillaume and another player.
The flop fell down and Karamalikis lead out for 10,000. Hachem slid his last 36,000 into the middle and was instantly followed by Guillaume and his 66,000 in chips.
Karamalikis hesitated for a bit, before tossing in three red 25,000-denomination chips to signify a call.
Hachem:
Guillaume:
Karamalikis:
Hachem would find his diamond on the turn, but it would be the to see Karamalikis fill up and leave Hachem drawing dead.
Guillaume could remain alive if one of the remaining two fives landed, but once the river fell the , both Hachem and Guillaume hit the rail as Karamalikis soars to 225,000 in chips.
Jay Kinkade opened to 3,200 from under the gun before Jonathan Lin bumped it to 7,500 next to speak.
Masa Kagawa made the call, along with Kinkade, to see the flop drop.
Kinkade checked, as did Lin, before Kagawa fired out 15,000. Kinkade passed but Lin clicked it back to 30,000 only to have Kagawa move all in for an additional 63,000 to Lin.
Lin spent over three minutes in the tank before laying his hand down while slipping to 61,000 as Kagawa soars back up to 148,000 in chips.
Grant Levy opened to 3,200 from early position only to be three-bet on the button to 9,600. The player in the big blind made the call as did Levy to see the flop of drop and checks from all three players.
The turn of the was lead out by the big blind for 15,000 and Levy was the only caller.
When the river fell the Levy quickly folded at the sight of his opponent's 100,000-chip shove to slip to just on 100,000 and change.
Terrence Chan opened to 3,500 from the button before Chong Wing Cheong made it 9,600 out of the small blind.
Chan made the call and when the flop dropped he was faced with a 26,500-chip bet from Cheong.
After mulling over a decision for a few minutes, Chan made the call before seeing the fall on the turn and a bet of 25,000 follow from Cheong.
Chan thought for even longer this time, but instead of calling, choose to re-raise all in for his last 43,800. Cheong threw in his last 6,000 or so and the cards were tabled.
Chan:
Cheong:
The river blanked out with the landing to see Cheong hit the rail as Chan climbs to 150,000 in chips.
