Adrian Ziemichod open-raised to 250,000 as first to act. Mahersh Selvakumaran defended his big blind, then led out for 175,000 on the 6♥7♥5♦ flop.

Ziemichod called to the A♣ turn, which both players checked. The J♦ river saw Selvakumaran place a hefty over-bet of 1,250,000, sending Ziemichod into the tank.

Eventually, the clock was called, and Ziemichod folded his hand near the end of his 30-second countdown.

Ivan Poroliev opened from under the gun and Lulei Hu three-bet to 675,000 on the button. Poroliev called, and the players went to the flop.

Poroliev checked the 8♣6♠2♣ flop and Hu bet 475,000. Poroliev raised to 1,375,000 which sent Hu into the tank.

Level 30 : Blinds 50,000/125,000, 125,000 ante

Scott Margereson raised to 250,000 under the gun before Mahersh Selvakumaran three-bet to 1,050,000 in the small blind. Margereson called, and they saw a flop of J♦10♠2♠.

Selvakumaran checked to Margereson, who bet 600,000. Selvakumaran called, and they both checked the 6♥ turn.

The river was the Q♣ and Selvakumaran bet 1,700,000. Margereson took around 30 seconds before folding.

"Never ace-king," Yulian Bogdanov said to Selvakumaran.

"Show a five," Matthias Auer added, and while Selvakumaran didn't reveal a five, he did flip over the 7♠ as he raked in the pot.
