JP Rounce-Sue made it 100,000 from under the gun and Daniel Neilson three-bet to 400,000 from the next seat. When it got back to Rounce-Sue, he made it 1,000,0000. Neilson got up on his chair and then ripped his stack of for around 2,200,000, and Rounce-Sue quickly called.

Daniel Neilson: J♦J♣ All in
JP Rounce-Sue: Q♦Q♣

Neilson was in trouble and Rounce-Sue was on the brink of a very healthy stack. The flop of 8♣A♥K♥ offered no help to Neilson, and the 8♠ turn left him with just two outs to survive. When everybody expected the field to get thinned down by one, the J♠ rolled off on the river, giving Neilson a full house!

"It's an easy game," joked Neilson.

Dustin Tran made it 160,000 to go from the hijack and JP Rounce-Sue called on the button. Jennifer Cassell also called from the big blind.

Despite three players taking it to the streets, all three checked it to the river on the 2♣8♣6♣3♥8♥ board and when it got to Rounce-Sue, he bet 900,000. Cassell quickly folded and Tran went deep, deep into the tank.

After thinking for well over a minute, Tran folded, and Rounce-Sue took the pot.

Daniel Klinger raised the button to 120,000 and Dustin Tran three-bet the small blind to 400,000 off a stack of around 1,250,000. Klinger then four-bet ripped it, and Tran snap-called.

Dustin Tran: 9♥9♦ All in
Daniel Klinger: A♠8♥

Tran just had to fade three outs and managed to do so as the K♦K♥3♣J♦2♣ runout meant he doubled up to around 2,600,000.

On a A♦7♥K♣10♦7♦ board, there were already a ton of chips in the pot when Van Mai and Reece Bedot both got their stacks in by the river.

Mai showed Ax9x for top pair, but he was crushed by the full house of Bedot, who tabled K♥K♦, eliminating Mai.

Fui Lie Tjhai had his short stack of 250,000 in the middle and was put at risk by Dustin Tran.

Fui Lie Tjhai: A♣Q♥ All in
Dustin Tran: A♥5♠

Tjhai was a big favorite and remained in the lead through the 7♠8♦10♣ flop. A 4♦ on the turn gave Tran a few more outs with a gutshot, and he connected with that draw when the 6♠ hit the river, sending Tjhai to the rail in 21st.
