Both checked the 4♣9♥4♠, taking them to the K♥ turn, which put Wiciak ahead. Palvini bet 17,000 and Wiciak made a quick call.

The 6♥ river didn't help Palvini and he lost the pot to Wiciak after Wiciak called his 6,000 river bet.

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Malcolm Franchi raised to 13,000 from middle position before being three-bet to 32,000 by Javey Timmer in the cutoff. The action folded back to Franchi, who put in another reraise to 79,000.

Timmer made the call and also called Franchi's bets of 26,000 on the 6♠Q♠7♣ flop and 90,000 on the 3♥ turn.

Franchi then slowed down on the K♦ river and checked. After using a time bank, Timmer shoved all in, covering his opponent's stack of 145,000.

Franchi had to use three time banks of his own before finally folding, after which he asked Timmer to show one card.

Timmer obliged and let Franchi pick one card to show. After Franchi had made his choice, Timmer flipped over the A♠ for the table to see.

Timothy Chung raised to 12,000 from under the gun with K♥Q♠ and got a call from Claudio Gordon in the small blind with K♣J♣. Haoran Cai also defended the big blind with 5♦2♥.

The flop came 6♥4♣2♣ giving Gordon a flush draw and Cai bottom pair with a straight draw. The action checked around the table, taking the players three-ways to the turn.

The river came the 8♦ and Gordon bet 65,000. Cai moved all in for 961,000 and got Gordon to fold the better hand.
