John Perry and Shan Huang had seen a flop of K♥A♦7♠ where Huang check-called a bet of 14,000 from Perry.
Both checked the 6♥ turn to the 4♠ river, where Huang shoved 76,000. Perry didn't need to think for too long and called. Huang then showed two pair with A♠7♦, and Perry's ace was no good.

Alex Trevallion shoved for around 110,000 from the hijack and was put at risk by Banipal Babana on the button.
Alex Trevallion: 5♥5♦ 
Banipal Babana: A♠9♣
Trevallion was ahead with his pair but fell behind after the J♥A♣4♣ flop connected with Babana. No five appeared on either the K♠ turn or 7♣ river, and Trevallion headed to the exit.

Joseph Antar raised the hijack to 25,000 and Fabian Gumz defended his big blind off a short stack.
The flop came 8♦K♥7♣ and Gumz check-shoved his stack of around 40,000 over Antar's 10,000-chip bet. Antar call.
Fabian Gumz: K♠5♠
Joseph Antar: K♦10♣
"They always have it. When you have a few big blinds, they always have it," said Gumz.
Indeed, Antar did have it but some chop possibilities were brought around when both improved to trips on the K♣ turn. However, the J♦ river kept Antar in the lead, and sent Gumz to the rail.

Life Outside Poker is a podcast for PokerNews hosted by Connor Richards that seeks to pull back the curtain on poker players and allow viewers and listeners to get to know them on a personal level.

John Perry made it 20,000 to go from the button and got a call from both Joseph Antar and Anthony Khalil in the blinds.
The action was checked to the river on the 6♦5♥9♠K♥5♦ board where Antar led out for 70,000. Khalil quickly folded, and Perry dropped in the call.
Antar then showed K♠6♠ for two pair, and Perry mucked.
Just seconds after, Perry stacked Khalil to bring the field down to 16.
