There were roughly 20,000 chips in the pot when all players checked the turn on 10♠J♣3♦10♣. Ron Jeda bet 13,000 from early position when the 4♠ hit the river, action was on Paul Runcan who raised to 30,000 on the button. Bartolomeo-Fulvio Tato asked for a count before folding.
After a short deliberation, Jeda called and tabled A♦A♥. Runcan showed K♠Q♣.
Arthur Thiriart opened to 2,000 from middle position and was called by Andras Jakabfi in the hijack and Alberto Cigliano in the big blind for a three-way pot.
Everyone checked on the 8♥9♣Q♠ flop and 4♥ turn, but Cigliano led out for 7,500 after the 5♣ completed the board.
Thiriart called, Jakabfi folded, and Cigliano turned over A♥9♥ for a pair of nines. Thiriart tabled A♠9♠ for the same hand and they each profited a bit at Jakabfi's expense.
Simone Andrian rasied to 2,000 from under the gun, Itai Levy three-bet to 5,200, from middle position, and Andrian called.
The 6♥K♠4♦ flop checked through to the Q♦ on the turn. Andrian checked and then called a bet of 8,800 from Levy.
The 3♠ river saw Andrian check again. Levy sized up to 22,000 and Andrian check-raised, moving all in for around 50,000. Levy snap-called.
Simone Andrian: 4♣4♠ 
Itai Levy: Q♣Q♦
This set-over-set cooler saw Andrian sent to the rail.
Following a raise to 2,000 from the hijack, Yauheni Tsiareshchanka three-bet to 7,000 from the button. Massimo Segatto then four-bet to 21,000 from the big blind, which was most of his stack. Tsiareshchanka pushed all in for the rest and Segatto called for 29,600 total. Players flipped their cards.
Massimo Segatto: A♦K♠
Yauheni Tsiareshchanka: J♠J♥
It was a classic poker race and Segatto won it as the board ran out K♥9♦7♠4♦5♠ to give him a pair of kings on the flop. He doubled up his stack to around 60,000.
The remaining 433 players have been sent on a 20-minute break.
In the 868th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, sponsored by the free-to-play WSOP App, Chad Holloway, Kyna England, and Mike Holtz are at Level 9 Studio to discuss the bitter social media feud between Vanessa Kade and Ryan Depaulo, which started over a sponsorship for Benjamin "Bencb" Rolle and saw the likes of Charlie Carrel and Kevin Martin chime in.
You'll also get to check out the recent ClubWPT Gold $5M Freeroll Invitational winners, which includes Kyna, and how the reigning WPT World Champ Dan Sepiol won $1 million in a daily fantasy football contest on Thanksgiving. Some other recent big winners were Faraz Jaka down at the Rock 'n' Roll Poker Open and David Prociak at the Venetian DeepStack Showdown Series.
Finally, the year is quickly coming to an end, so the crew thought it was a good time to look at the PokerGO Tour leaderboard and see who is qualified for the $1,000,000 PGT Championship and who is on the bubble.

The pot had grown to around 27,000 with two players looking at a board of 7♥K♠4♥A♥.
Ermanno Di Nicola, in the small blind, bet out 15,000. Thomas Graupner, in early position, tanked for some time before comically stacking all his chips into one single tower and sliding it forward with some caution. Di Nicola called.
Thomas Graupner: J♥10♥
Ermanno Di Nicola: 9♥8♥
Both players had turned a flush, and the J♠ river changed nothing. Graupner doubled up.
With more than 40,000 in the pot, Pavlos Xanthopoulos and Mateusz Wozniak faced off on a 9♣10♠J♠ flop. Xanthopoulos led out with a bet of 7,000, and Wozniak responded by moving all in for Xanthopoulos's effective stack of 52,000. Xanthopoulos called.
Pavlos Xanthopoulos: 7♣8♣
Mateusz Wozniak: A♦A♥
Xanthopoulos had flopped a straight, cracking Wozniak's aces and the 5♠ turn and 4♣ river changed nothing, securing a massive double-up for the Greek player.
