Heads-up on a flop of 2♣8♥K♦, a player under the gun bet 75,000 and Andrew DeMarco called on the button.

Mykhailo Lendel had a raise of 240,000 in front of him from the button before John McGuinness called for his last 130,000 in the small blind. Aaron Hendi then reshoved for 1,180,000 in middle position, and Lendel got out of the way.

Liuboymyr Melnyk raised to 50,000 in early position and Remo Lupo moved all in for 335,000 in the hijack. Midhat Ibrahem then reshoved for 550,000 on the button, and Melnyk got out of the way.
Remo Lupo: A♠J♥
Midhat Ibrahem: K♦K♥
"Come on, ace!" Lupo shouted out, and he got his wish on the A♥K♠Q♣ flop. Ibrahem, though, had also spiked a set to stay in the lead. "Ten!" Lupo pleaded for, but no help arrived on the 5♥ turn and 2♦ river and he was sent to the rail.
Dan Shapiro moved all in for 200,000 from early position and Matt Matros called in the small blind.
Dan Shapiro: K♠Q♣
Matt Matros: A♠A♦

Liubomyr Melnyk opened to 55,000 in early position before Philip Phan moved all in from the cutoff. "Eight million," Phan said as he put in his last 80,000, and Melnyk called after the table folded back to him.
Philip Phan: 8♣8♦
Liuboymyr Melnyk: A♦9♥
The board ran out 5♥K♠4♥3♣8♥, and Phan hit a set on the river to secure the pot and double up. "Now I have 1.6 million," he joked.
Birjyot Bindra raised to 70,000 under the gun before William McGrotty moved all in for 550,000 in middle position. Bindra quickly called.
William McGrotty: A♦K♠
Birjyot Bindra: J♣J♠
McGrotty was racing for his tournament life, but Bindra's jacks held on through the 6♦3♠9♦3♦3♣ board to earn the BetMGM qualifier the knockout.
Carlos Bermudez raised to 50,000 in early position, Casey Mann three-bet to 125,000 on the button, and Bermudez called.
Both players checked the 6♠3♦J♦ flop. Bermudez then led out for 75,000 on the A♦ turn, and Mann called.
Bermudez checked the 2♥ river, and then quickly folded after Mann bet 175,000.
