Antonio Gjurau raised to 20,000 in middle position and was called by a player on the button before Joseph Ritchie three-bet to 75,000 in the small blind. Only Gjuraj called.
Ritchie continued for 55,000 on the 6♥Q♦7♠ flop, and Gjuraj called. The turn was the 4♣ and Ritchie slowed down and checked over to Gjuraj, who moved all in. Ritchie quickly tapped the felt and surrendered his hand.
Gabor Nagy raised to 23,000 in the cutoff before Harvey Krasner three-bet to 50,000 in the big blind. Nagy then moved all in for 186,000, and Krasner called.
Gabor Nagy: A♣A♥ 
Harvey Krasner: K♣K♠
Nagy was on the right side of the aces-versus-kings cooler, and he held on through the J♦9♣4♦4♠5♦ board to earn the double up.
Thomas Yarbrough raised to 26,000 in middle position, Heung Yoon moved all in for 106,000 in the hijack, and Yarbrough called.
Heung Yoon: 7♠7♥
Thomas Yarbrough: K♦Q♥
Yarbrough picked up a straight draw on the 3♣9♥10♠ flop to go with his two overcards, but he couldn't improve on the 3♠ turn or 4♣ river as Yoon survived the flip to double up.
