David Yan raised to 165,000 from under the gun. Jean-Noel Thorel, in early position, moved all in for 710,000. Yan used two time banks before making a frustrated call.
Jean-Noel Thorel: K♥J♦
David Yan: K♣Q♥
Thorel was dominated and the 6♣Q♠10♥ flop gave Yan top pair. The J♠ turn took away some of Thorel's straight outs and made a chopped pot a possible outcome. The 9♠ gave both players a straight and the pot was chopped; a lucky escape for Thorel.

Juan Pardo opened under the gun to 170,000.
Byron Kaverman was in the cutoff, and he produced a three-bet to 775,000.
Stephen Chidwick was in the big blind. He asked to see his opponents' stacks before moving all in for 430,000.
Action folded back to Pardo, who asked for a count before moving all in for 3,405,000.
Kaverman went into the tank and looked pained as he pondered the decision, before calling for 1,635,000 to put himself at risk.
Stephen Chidwick: 8♥8♣
Byron Kaverman: A♦K♦
Juan Pardo: Q♠Q♦
In a cooler, Chidwick was in bad shape versus Pardo's queens and Kaverman's big slick.
The runout came K♣A♥J♦7♦5♠, Kaverman taking a huge pot with top two pair to send Chidwick to the rail and take a big chunk out of Pardo.
