Ben Heath limped in the small blind and Kornuth, with a stack of around 30,000, raised to 4,200. Heath quickly bet enough to cover his opponent.

Eventually, and having decided against "blasting it in," Kornuth folded.
Within two hands, the stack of Vojtech Ruzicka has been reduced to zero and the Czech left the table with the words "it is a brutal game." According to Danny Tang, he raised and one player called. Ruzicka three-bet and Tang four-bet shoved with

Dave Heskin had won his entry to the $25,000 Challenge through a $2,800 Satellite and built a stack early on. However, that all came to a crashing end right now. The button raised to 2,500 and Heskin three-bet to 7,000 in the small blind. Marius Gierse four-bet to 17,000 and called the shove of Heskin for around 57,000.

Winfred Yu lost a flip with pocket threes against the ace-nine of Jack Salter after the latter paired the nine on the flop and an ace on the turn.
Soon after it would be Salter who joined the rail as well, and Manig Loeser busted on his second bullet as well.
Salter opened the action with a raise to 3,000 in the cutoff and big stack Kahle Burns three-bet out of the small blind to 11,200. Salter four-bet to 23,000 and, once Burns had five-bet to 125,000, the Brit called all in for around 75,000.

The board came

A short-stacked Manig Loeser defended his big blind against Julius Colman and got it in with the
