Michel Leibgorin: A♠8♠
The board ran out 4♣4♥3♦4♠2♥ — keeping Matrai best with his kicker for the double up.

Dann Assouline moved all in for 750,000 from the button as action folded to Michel Leibgorin in the big blind. He turned on his looking glass and peered at his cards through it before snap-calling.
Dann Assouline: K♣9♥
Michel Leibgorin: A♦6♦
The flop came 2♥K♥2♠ and Assouline made two pair to take the lead. The 4♠ turn was safe, while the 9♣ river gave him a higher two pair and a double up.

Parker Talbot opened to 300,000 first-to-act and Stephane Gabarre shoved for his last 2,500,000 from the cutoff. Action folded back to Talbot, who called having Gabarre slightly covered.
Stephane Gabarre: A♠K♦
Parker Talbot: Q♣Q♠
It was another classic race. The J♣K♠A♥ flop vaulted Gabarre into the lead with two pair and the J♦ changed nothing; however, the 10♠ filled Talbot’s Broadway straight draw and Gabarre was eliminated in dramatic fashion.

Parker Talbot had opened a couple of hands in a row and gotten no action, showing A♠Q♥ along the way.
He opened again to 300,000 and Mathew Frankland produced a three-bet to 2,425,000 from the button, leaving himself only 150,000 behind.
Talbot promptly moved all in for 4,700,000 and Frankland called off the rest of it after waiting for a hand at the other table to finish.
Mathew Frankland: A♣Q♦
Parker Talbot: J♣J♠
Talbot was in front in a race with his pair of jacks, and flopped a full house on A♥A♦J♦. Frankland still had plenty of potential outs.
However Talbot managed to find those on the 10♣5♥ turn and river, sending Talbot a chunky pot and sending Frankland to the rail.

Daniel Kyosev moved all in for 550,000 in the hijack, Andras Matrai shoved for 2,600,000 in the cutoff, and Omar Del Pino called on the button to put both players at risk.
Daniel Kyosev: 7♦7♠
Andras Matrai: A♦J♣
Omar Del Pino: A♣K♦
It was a massive three way all in as the flop came A♠6♦3♠ to give Del Pino the lead with top pair and his king-kicker. The K♣ turn improved him to two pair and left Kyosev drawing to two outs and Matrai already drawing dead.
The river was the 10♥ and Del Pino scooped the entire pot to send both opponents to the rail.
"Is this a race to see who can bust them faster," Parker Talbot told Del Pino after the hand.
