When the 10♣7♣7♦ flop hit the felt, Chen check-called a continuation bet of 145,000 from Soucy.

The 4♣ fell on the turn, and Chen check-called once again, the time for 275,000.

The dealer rolled the 4♦ on the river, and both players tapped the table. Chen tabled K♦10♦ for tens and sevens, and Soucy mucked his hand.

Level 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Daniel Drommel opened to 125,000 from under the gun and was three-bet to 345,000 by Theodoros Ampelikiotis from the hijack. Action folded back to Drommel, who announced he was all in, which was enough to put Ampelikiotis all in for 1,575,000. Ampelikiotis quickly called and hands were revealed.

Theodoros Ampelikiotis: A♠K♣ All in
Daniel Drommel: K♦K♠

The Q♥2♣10♣ flop gave Ampelikiotis outs to Broadway, which came in on the J♣ turn, leaving Drommel drawing to a chop at best.

The 4♦ river kept Ampelikiotis ahead and he doubled through Drommel.

Level 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Lin Chen opened 120,000 from early position and Alejandro Lococo defended the big blind.

The dealer spread a flop of J♠J♥7♦, and Lococo check-called a bet of 60,000.

When the 5♥ fell on the turn, Lococo checked and Chen continued with aggression as he dropped 100,000 across the line. Lococo stuck around with a call.

The 6♣ completed the board on the river, and Lococo checked for a final time. Chen paused for a moment before deciding to check back. Lococo tabled A♠9♦ for ace-high, but was quickly shown it was no good as Chen tabled A♥A♦.

Archibald Seaton opened to 120,000 from middle position and Biao Ding shoved for his remaining 850,000 on the button. It was folded back to Seaton, who quickly called to put Ding at risk.

Biao Ding: A♣K♥ All in
Archibald Seaton: J♦J♥

It was a fair fight, but the Q♦10♦9♣9♥3♦ runout kept Seaton ahead with his jacks and Ding was forced to surrender the rest of his chips.
