Jorge Pardo opened to 3,500 and was called by David Docherty.
Action folded to Dinesh Alt in the big blind, who produced an all-in three-bet of 28,500. Pardo folded and Docherty called, to put Alt at risk.
Dinesh Alt: A♣K♦
David Docherty: 8♣8♠
Docherty was ahead in a race with his pair of eights, but was soon behind after the J♥A♥5♣ flop gave Alt a pair of aces.
Nothing changed on the 9♦3♣ turn and river, giving Alt the double-up.

Marcello Miniucchi opened to 3,000 from middle position and action folded to Daniel Neilson in the big blind, who shoved. Miniucchi called all in for his last 16,500 and a showdown was held.
Marcello Miniucchi: K♠K♣
Daniel Neilson: 6♣6♦
The 8♠8♥K♦ flop left Neilson all but drawing dead. The 9♥ turn ensured Miniucchi's double up and an irrelevant A♠ completed the board to make the double up official.

Action was picked up on the 10♠7♠K♦ flop where Jack Hardcastle checked in the small blind to Maxim Staudacher who bet 4,000 from the big blind.
Hardcastle made the call and the dealer flipped the 7♦ turn. Hardcastle check-called a sizeable 20,000 bet from Staudacher.
The K♥ river paired the board. Hardcastle checked once more. Staudacher tanked for a moment before checking back. Hardcastle tabled 7♣8♦ for a full house and Staudacher mucked.
