Poseidon Ho moved all in for 150,000 from early position. Action folded around and Fintan Hand called the all in blind.
Poseidon Ho: K♥Q♥
Fintan Hand: K♦3♦
"I heard that if you stand up, your equity improves," said Ho as the 8♣9♠4♠ flop rolled off. His king-high held over the A♣ turn and J♦ river.
"Thank you, sir," Ho said to Hand as he took in the pot.
David Dongwoo Ko moved all in for 400,000. Poseidon Ho called on the button. Both blinds folded.
Poseidon Ho: Q♣J♥
David Dongwoo Ko: 7♣7♦
Ko was in good shape on the 3♣A♦2♣ flop, but the turn 5♦ and the 4♣ river put a wheel on board and the dealer chopped up the pot.
Daniel Rezaei opened 50,000 in the cutoff and Leo Margets three-bet 120,000 from the small blind. Rezaei made the call.
When the 9♥4♥3♥ flop hit the felt, Margets took about 10 seconds before deciding to drop a bet of 90,000 across the line. Rezaei wasted no time sending his cards into the muck.
The pot had already grown to 520,000 with two players looking at a flop of 8♥2♦J♦.
Jacob Stone, who was under the gun, bet out 150,000. Stefano Terziani, in middle position, made the call.
The 3♣ turn slowed down Stone with a check. Terziani took the lead for 275,000 and Stone let his hand go. Terziani claimed this sizable pot without a showdown.
Henrik Juncker opened 50,000 under the gun and Shameen Ibrahim jammed for 135,000 next to act. The action folded back around to Juncker and he made the call.
Shameen Ibrahim: A♠9♦
Henrik Juncker: 4♥4♣
It was a flip, and the 8♠7♦3♠ flop wasn't looking promising for Ibrahim but the 6♥ turn gave him an open-ended straight draw to go along with his two live cards. The 10♥ fell on the river, and Ibrahim tapped the table thinking his run was over, but he was quickly notified he made a straight to stay alive.
Jacob Stone limped in from middle postion, Alexandre Raymond three-bet jammed for 360,000 from the small blind and Alexander Ivarsson cold called from the big blind. The action was back on Stone, who elected to move all in for approximately 2,075,000, sending Ivarsson deep into the tank.
Ivarsson, who covered Stone, thought for several minutes before finally making the fold.
Alexandre Raymond: A♠10♠
Jacob Stone: A♣A♥
The board ran out Q♠6♥J♥9♣Q♦. Stone's aces held to eliminate Raymond. As the dust settled, Ivarsson explained that had he made the call, he would have won.
Alexandre Raymond opened to 60,000 from under the gun. Robert Bull was the only caller from the cutoff.
Raymond led out on the 2♥10♦10♣ flop for 55,000. Bull called. The K♥ turn was checked around before Raymond bet 270,000 on the 8♣ river. Bull reraised Raymond all in for 30,000 more and Raymond called.
Bull had A♥10♥ for trips which bested Raymond's A♦K♠.
Kelvin Kerber opened in the hijack before Paolo Boi three-bet 130,000 on the button. Kerber responded with a four-bet to 330,000, and Boi stuck around with a call.
The K♠J♥6♣ flop hit the felt, and Kerber continued for 225,000. Boi matched the bet.
When the 6♠ paired the board on the turn, Kerber tanked for a minute before pushing a bet of 400,000 across the line. Boi went into a tank of his own, and eventually pushed his cards toward the dealer.
Xiaohu Liu raised from the hijack and Fintan Hand called on the button.
Liu continued for 55,000 on the 6♣2♣2♠ flop. Hand chose to see a turn.
The 9♣ fell and both players checked through to the 7♥ river. Liu retook the lead for 85,000 and Hand tossed his cards into the muck.
