Hiroki Karatsu opened from middle position to 60,000 and Ramon Colillas three-bet to 180,000 in the cutoff. The action got back to Karatsu, who shoved, and Colillas called off his stack of 925,000.
Ramon Colillas: J♥J♦
Hiroki Karatsu: A♦Q♣
Both players had similar stacks, but it was Colillas who was at risk with his pocket jacks. Those jacks looked good through the 4♣6♠5♦ flop and the 7♠ turn. However, an A♥ on the river spelled the end for Colillas as Karatsu rivered a pair of aces.

Sergio Carro Marin raised to 60,000 in middle position before Damien Gayer moved all in for 435,000 on the button. Kevin Houghton was in the big blind and used up two time banks before eventually folding, but Marin snap-called.
Damien Gayer: 6♠6♦
Sergio Carro Marin: 8♥8♠
Marin had Gayer dominated, and the board ran out 10♠Q♣7♣10♦A♦ to send Gayer to the rail. Houghton then slammed the table with his hat in frustration.
"I had eights as well. This said do it. I didn't listen," Houghton said, pointing to his gut.

Felix Kurmayr opened from early position to 55,000 and Yohan Rascar three-bet to 140,000 on the button. The blinds folded and when it got back to Kurmayr, he shoved for 860,000. Rascar snap-called.
Felix Kurmayr: 6♥6♦
Yohan Rascar: K♠K♦
In the last hand before the dinner break, Kurmayr was at risk and way behind. No sixes arrived on the 7♥J♣Q♥ flop, and the 4♦ turn removed any backdoor outs.
An 8♣ on the river sealed the deal, and Kurmayr headed to the exit.
