Farid Jattin raised in the small blind and quickly called when Eric Afriat moved all in from the big blind for 1,135,000.
Eric Afriat: A♣Q♠
Farid Jattin: A♥10♦
Afriat had the better ace and remained best as the board ran out with the 7♥6♦5♠8♥K♣ to confirm his double-up.
After some hands had been won preflop, Aleksejs Ponakovs limped in from the small blind and Dimitar Danchev checked in the big blind.
Both players then checked on the J♣8♣9♦ flop before Ponakovs bet 130,000 on the 5♦ turn.
Danchev made the call and did so too when Ponakovs sized down to 115,000 on the 9♠ river. Ponakovs showed 5♠5♣ for a full house and took down the pot.
Ami Barer, with K♠K♦, raised to 135,000 from the button and Farid Jattin defended his big blind with K♥Q♦.
Jattin made top pair on the Q♥8♠7♥ flop, but Barer remained ahead with his overpair. Jattin check-called for 225,000 which brought in the 9♥ turn. Now with a flush draw, Jattin check-called again for 325,000.
The 8♦ river gave Barer the checkmark and he was rewarded with a third street of value as Jattin called his bet of 575,000.
Eliot Hudon raised to 120,000 in the hijack before Leo Worthington-Leese moved all in from the small blind. Hudon quickly gave up his hand.
A few hands later, Worthington-Leese opened to 120,000 in the cutoff and Hudon asked to see his stack before calling in the big blind.
The flop came 9♥A♦8♦ and Hudon quickly check-folded to a bet of 75,000 as he dropped down to less than 10 big blinds.
On the first hand of play, Francesco Delfoco moved all in for 1,175,000 from the cutoff and was snap-called Hans Erlandsson from the big blind.
"A classic confrontation," commented Barny Boatman as the cards were tabled.
Francesco Delfoco: 7♥3♦
Hans Erlandsson: A♥A♣
Delfoco's time at the feature table was over after his speculative holding could not leap frog the aces on the 9♦9♣2♣4♠8♠ runout.
