Efrim Erdinc: 10♦10♠ 
Peter Schmidt: Q♦Q♥

Fredrik Hegh moved all in for 1,500,000 from the cutoff and Kazuhiko Yotsushika took a minute before deciding to fold on the button. Sven Stok also gave up the small blind, but Joseph Bardakji snap-called in the big blind.
Fredrik Hegh: K♠10♠
Joseph Bardakji: A♠Q♣
The A♣J♠8♦ flop gave Bardakji top pair and Hegh a straight draw. Hegh hit a pair on the K♦ turn, but it wasn't enough as the J♣ river kept Bardakji in the lead and sent Hegh to the rail.
Ben Zech opened to 250,000 in early position and Tor Skardi called in the small blind.

Cory Gerber: 3♦3♥

Zech bet another 600,000 on the 5♥ river and Cuomo quickly called. Zech turned over K♦6♦ for two pair, and Cuomo mucked.
Kazuhiko Yotsushika opened to 250,000 in middle position and Thibaud Martin defended in the big blind.
Martin checked on the flop of 6♥7♠5♣ and Yotsushika continued for 200,000. Martin check-raised to 550,000 and Yotsushika called.
Martin then bet 900,000 on the A♥ turn and Yotsushika raised all in. Martin snap-called with a stack of just over 5,800,000.
Thibaud Martin: 9♦8♦
Kazuhiko Yotsushika: A♣3♠
Yotsushika had turned top pair but was drawing stone dead against the flopped nut straight of Martin, who cheered as the meaningless Q♥ river bricked off to earn him a big double through the no-longer chip leader.
