The player in the cutoff opened to 10,000 and was called by Ehsan Amiri on the button for a heads-up pot.
The cutoff check-called a 5,000 bet from Amiri on the 9♠3♠2♠ flop and checked again after the 2♦ paired the board on the turn. Amiri continued for 25,000 and his opponent responded by shoving for a bit over 100,000 total.
Amiri nearly beat his opponent into the pot with a call and hands were revealed.
Cutoff: K♠Q♦
Ehsan Amiri: A♠10♠
Amiri's opponent could only laugh after seeing he was drawing dead, and an irrelevant J♠ river made his elimination official to send Amiri a nice pot.

Heads-up in a raised pot on a flop of 6♠Q♦10♣, the player in middle position checked to Maxwell Young, who bet 16,000. His opponent called.
Young's opponent then check-called a 40,000 bet from Young on the 7♦ turn before leading out for 55,000 on the 8♥ river.
Young responded by shoving, which was enough to put his opponent all in for his last 140,000 behind. Young's opponent burned up several time extensions contemplating his decision, but eventually decided to look Young up.
Young showed K♣9♣ for a straight and his opponent mucked his hand before sliding his stack over to Young.

Players have been sent on their second 15-minute break of the day.
Attendees are turning out in force today, with the field already up to 184 entrants and climbing steadily.
Noman Mirza opened to 5,500 first to act and was called by his opponent from directly behind. The player on the button then squeezed to 25,000 and Higor Seibel tanked a bit before making it 80,000 to go from the small blind. Action folded back to the button, who called.
The flop came J♦J♥2♠ and Seibel tossed a single t-100,000 denomination chip into the middle, which got a quick fold from his opponent to send him a nice pot without a showdown.

Action folded around to the blinds, where the player in the small blind raised to 9,000 and called a three-bet of 27,000 from Eugene Tung in the big blind.
The small blind check-called a 19,000 bet from from Tung on the 6♥A♦5♥ flop, but check-folded facing a 65,000 barrel from Tung on the A♠ turn to award Tung the pot.

The player under the gun opened to 6,000 and was three-bet to 18,000 by the player on the button, Joseph Antar then cold four-bet to 42,000 from the small blind, which got both of his opponents to fold.
Antar showed pocket aces before dragging the pot, apparently having got them for the second hand in a row.
On the very next hand, Antar opened to 6,000 on the button and was called by the player in the big blind.
The big blind check-called a 4,000 bet from Antar on the A♠7♦Q♥ flop, but check-folded after Antar bombed 35,000 into the middle on the 4♦ turn.
