Sergio Aido opened to 20,000 from the cutoff and Jim Nagi flat-called from the button, so did Arunas Sapitavicius from the big blind. On the flop , the action was checked to Nagi and the Aussie bet 25,000. Only Sapitavicius called and then led the turn for 37,000.
Nagi announced a raise and slid forward 50,000 chips only to be reminded by the dealer that a minimum raise had to be at least 74,000. Sapitavicius then shoved and Nagi called it off for around 120,000 in total.
Sapitavicius:
Nagi:
The blank river changed nothing whatsoever and Nagi hit the rail in 14th place.

Yan asked his opponent if he had any bigger chips behind and then shoved for effectively 145,000. Awerbuch checked his stack carefully before calling it off and sent his cards into the muck as soon as Yan had flipped over the winning .

2014 World Series of Poker Asia Pacific bracelet winner Sam Higgs had been a short stack for most of the last stages the previous night and didn't find any spot today. Down to just 112,000 chips, he moved all in from under the gun and Tang Peng announced the call from the button with the players in the blinds getting out of the way.
Higgs:
Peng:
The flop was kind of an overkill, as only running fours or aces could save the Aussie. It was all over after the turn and the river even gave Peng a full house.
