Sirzat Hissou raised to 160,000 from under the gun before Thomas Boivin three-bet to 380,000 from the small blind. Hissou complied with the extra chips and the pair went off to a flop of Q♣A♥10♠.
Boivin continued for 200,000, which quickly got called by Hissou. On the 2♣ turn, Boivin cut out 305,000 chips, around half his stack, and put them in the middle.
Hissou thought about it for a bit but eventually mucked his hand, being left with less than 15 big blinds to maneuver.

Duco ten Haven moved all in from the button and both Sirzat Hissou and Adrian Mateos gave up their blinds.
Ten Haven then raised to 160,000 in the hijack and found no callers, allowing him to collect another pot uncontested. The next hand, ten Haven again raised to 160,000, this time from under the gun, and again the rest of the table got out of the way.

Action folded to Quan Zhou in the small blind who raised enough to put Sergi Reixach all in. "Are you sure," Reixach said, flipping over the A♥ and slamming in his last 855,000.
Sergi Reixach: A♥A♣
Quan Zhou: 5♣4♥
"I swear I only looked at one," Reixach told the table after exposing his pocket aces. The flop came 6♦6♣A♦ to give him a full house and leave Zhou drawing dead heading to the 7♠ turn and 10♠ river as Reixach doubled up.

Quan Zhou raised to 210,000 from under the gun, receiving calls from Duco ten Haven in the small blind and Sirzat Hissou in the big blind.
The trio went on to check through the 4♥7♠3♦4♦ board until Ten Haven led out for 150,000 on the A♣ river.
Hissou quickly folded but Zhou put in a raise to 745,000. Ten Haven sat in the tank for a few minutes before reluctantly folding his hand, pleading his opponent to show a bluff.
Zhou complied, as he tabled K♥Q♠ for just king-high, which got a smile out of Ten Haven.

Duco ten Haven raised to 200,000 on the button and Quan Zhou called in the big blind.
The flop was Q♥A♠2♣ and ten Haven bet 150,000. Zhou called and the Q♠ turn was checked through.
The K♥ fell on the river and Zhou fired out 360,000. Ten Haven snap-folded and Zhou raked in the pot to take over the tournament chip lead.
The next hand, action folded to Zhou in the small blind. "Remember what happened last time," big blind Sergi Reixach told him, harking back to his double up with pocket aces earlier.
"All in," Zhou said, undeterred. Reixach took a peek at his cards but found something less than aces this time as he quickly folded.
