In a battle of the blinds, both Koray Turker and Andrew Hinrichsen saw a {7-Spades}{5-Hearts}{9-Hearts} flop fall after both committing 2,700 preflop.

Turker fired out 3,000 and Hinrichsen bumped it to 8,000 only to have Turker make it 14,200. Hinrichsen moved all in and Turker made the call for his tournament life.

Turker: {A-Hearts}{3-Hearts}
Hinrichsen: {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}

With Hinrichsen in the lead, Turker would need a heart to take the lead, but when the {2-Clubs} landed on the turn, he picked up a gutshot to the wheel.

Unfortunately for Turker, the {3-Clubs} would land on the river to see him make only a pair - and consequently be bumped to the rail as Hinrichsen soars to 126,000 in chips.

Kashyap Slips

In a hand that took up the majority of the break, a player himself all in for 15,500 on the {K-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} flop.

Nauv Kashyap made the call from the cutoff as the button was left to act.

After six minutes of emotionless sitting, Kashyup finally asked him whether or not he knew the action was on him, and once the button player realized, he quickly folded his hand.

Kashyup: {J-Hearts}{J-Clubs}
Opponent: {K-Diamonds}{3-Spades}

The turn and river landed the {8-Hearts} and {6-Spades} to see Kashyup double his opponent up, but still remain on top of the leaderboard with 198,000 in chips.

Grigg's Five-Bet is Enough!

Nauv Kashyap led out for 3,100 from under the gun before he was met with a raise from Tom Grigg in middle position.

After sitting there for a moment, Kashyap released his hand as Grigg move to 61,000.
