Hugo Machado raised to 1,600 from the hijack and Benjamin Spragg three-bet to 6,500 from the small blind. It was folded back to Machado, who announced he was all in. Spragg snap-called all in for 30,700 total and hands were revealed.
Benjamin Spragg: A♥K♠
Hugo Machado: J♥J♦
The 2♠2♥K♦5♦6♣ runout paired Spragg's king and he was awarded the double up.
Felipe Ketzer open-raised to 1,600 from the hijack. Salvatore Camarda then three-bet to 4,500 from the button before Florian Duta committed his stack of 25,700 from the big blind.
Ketzer quickly folded but Camarda asked for a count. He thought some more after he had received it, collected calling chips from his stack, and put them in the middle.
Florian Duta: 8♥8♣
Salvatore Camarda: 9♦9♣
Camarda's better pair easily held on the 7♥5♦4♦4♠7♦ runout, sending Duta to the rail.
Ghassan Bitar opened to 1,300 from the cutoff and was called by Marle Spragg on the button for a heads-up pot.
Spragg called a 1,000 bet from Bitar on the 7♥2♦8♣ flop and then raised a 3,000 bet from Bitar to 6,000 on the 9♦ turn. Bitar called.
The Q♣ completed the board and Bitar shoved, which was met with a snap-call from Spragg for her last 7,400.
Spragg held J♣10♣ for the nuts and Bitar showed he held Q♥9♠ for top two pair before sending his hand into the muck.
Julien Sitbon moved all in from the cutoff for his last 6,400, and Mariusz Mikoda, seated on the button, called. But Majid Ejlal Noubarian, in the small blind, had other plans and raised it up to 18,400, which was enough to make Mikoda fold and send it to a heads-up showdown.
Sitbon asked, "Ace-king one time?"—and he was spot on, as Noubarian revealed A♣K♥. Sitbon showed 7♠7♥, setting up the classic flip.
The flop came down 9♥J♥9♦, keeping Sitbon ahead, and the 7♦ on the turn locked up his double-up.
The 6♥ river changed nothing, leaving Noubarian without any improvement, while Sitbon breathed new life into his tournament run.
Arriving on a completed board of J♠7♥6♠9♦J♥, Karen Nazarian had jammed all in covering the 30,800 of Adrian Cazacu.
With there only being 19,000 in the middle, Nazarian's shove was a huge bet. Cazacu clarified the reentry rules before slamming in a stack of chips for the call.
Nazarian tossed K♠Q♦ in the middle. King-high was no good as Cazacu had called with A♥6♥ for bottom pair, taking down the pot and doubling up.
A preflop raising war culminated in Darius Gadeikis jamming with the covering stack and Gregoire Auzoux calling off for his 36,400 stack.
Gregoire Auzoux: J♦J♥
Darius Gadeikis: Q♠Q♦
Auzoux had walked into an overpair, but the J♠10♠4♣ flop put him front with top set jacks, a position that was not altered by the 8♣8♠ turn and river, Auzoux ending up with a full house.
Around 30,000 was in the middle already in a hand between Fintan Hand and Helma Weber, in early and middle position respectively.
The board read A♥5♣9♦5♠, and Hand fired out a bet of 12,500. After some thought, Weber called.
The 7♠ river completed the board. Hand moved all in with the covering stack and Weber quickly got her remaining 13,000 into the middle.
Hand turned over A♣K♠ for two pair aces and fives, while Weber had A♦Q♥ for the same hand, but Hand's better kicker sent him the pot, and sent the unfortunate Weber to the rail.
Nina Krasilnikova opened to 1,200 under the gun, and was called by Tahsin Cankurtaranli, before [Removed:607] produced a three-bet to 5,000. Krasilnikova got out of the way, but Cankurtaranli called.
On the 9♥4♠2♣ flop, Cankurtaranli check-called a bet of 4,500 from [Removed:608].
The 6♣ rolled off on the turn, and action was checked to [Removed:608] once more. He fired out a bet of 7,200, and after some thought, Cankurtaranli check-jammed with the covering stack. [Removed:608] got the rest of his stack, totaling 23,300 into the middle.
[Removed:607]: K♦K♣
Tahsin Cankurtaranli: 10♥10♦
In a cooler Muller had the better overpair, and his double-up was confirmed by the 8♦ river.
Daniel Rezaei opened to 1,100 from early position and was three-bet to 4,100 by Adrien Quetelart in the big blind. Rezaei called.
Rezaei called an 1,800 bet from Quetelart on the 10♦K♦3♠ flop and then bet 3,300 after Quetelart checked on the A♦ turn.
Quetelart quickly laid his hand down and Rezaei showed the 2♠ before collecting the pot.
Adrian Cazacu opened to 800 from early position and Chris Dowling called on the button.
John Kelly was in the big blind, and he produced a three-bet to 3,500. Cazacu quickly got out of the way, but after asking to see his opponent's remaining stack, Dowling moved all in with the covering stack, receiving a snap-call from Kelly.
John Kelly: A♦A♥
Chris Dowling: A♠K♦
In a cooler, Dowling had run his big slick into Kelly's rockets, and no unlikely escape was provided by the J♦7♥8♦2♣Q♥ runout.
