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.

Thales Morelli raised to 60,000 in the hijack, Andre Plaza Marcano moved all in for 390,000 in the cutoff, and Morelli called.
Andre Plaza Marcano: J♦10♦
Thales Morelli: A♣9♠
The A♠6♥2♣ flop was a disaster for Plaza Marcano as Morelli hit top pair. The 5♣ turn left Plaza Marcano drawing dead, while the 4♣ river sealed his elimination.
At the same time on another table, Kevin Houghton was all in for 890,000 from the hijack and up against Marc Foggin in the small blind.
Kevin Houghton: Q♣Q♠
Marc Foggin: 8♥8♣
Houghton had Foggin crushed with his queens, and the 7♥4♣6♣2♣A♥ board proved safe enough for Houghton to double up.

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.
