Action folded around to Joel Dodds on the button, which prompted a bet of 24,000. Craig Cockburn wasn't convinced of Dodds holdings, so he put him to the test with a raise to 69,000. Dodds came right back over the top, and Cockburn swiftly mucked.
Xin Zhao is down to 230,000 chips after doubling up Kosta Mamaliadis. Zhao raised to 24,000 from UTG and Mamaliadis defended his big blind to see a 
flop.
Zhao's 26,000 c-bet was check-called by Mamaliadis before the latter checked the 
turn in the dark. He then faced a 42,000 bet that he check-raised up to 107,000. Zhao called and then called off his remaining 200,000 when Zhao shoved on the river. Zhao snap mucked and Kosta tabled 
for a rivered full house.

Ben Lingenfelder is now sitting with a much healthier stack after a double-up came courtesy of mega chip leader, Craig Cockburn.
Cockburn opened the action to 24,000 from the button and Joel Dodds flat called in the small blind. This is when Lingenfelder shoved his stack all in. Cockburn thought for a few minutes before making the call. With Dodds' cards in the muck, Cockburn tabled his 
, needing some help against the 
of Lingenfelder.
A board full of bricks was safe for Lingenfelder as he took down the double-up, while Cockburn took a small hit to his stack.

.

A few hands later and Jedlicka had Peter Skouteris all in. Jedlicka was again in front, this time holding 
against Skouteris' . When Skouteris picked up running sevens on the turn and river, he took down the double-up and left Jedlicka with around half of what he came back from the break with.
