Jose Criado raised to 250,000 from early position, and Gerard Carbo defended his big blind.
When Carbo checked on a K♣9♥8♠ flop, Criado continued for 175,000, and Carbo called. It was the same pattern on the 2♥ turn, as Carbo checked before calling when Criado fired again, this time for a more substantial 700,000.
The 2♦ completed the board and slowed the action, as both players checked.
Carbo tabled Q♥10♥, which was not enough to claim the pot, as Criado turned over A♥10♠.
Xiaosheng Zheng upped it to 250,000 in middle position. Jose Criado was in the cutoff, and he three-bet to 625,000. Zheng called, prompting the dealer to fan the 7♦J♣6♣ flop.
Zheng checked it to Criado, who tossed in 350,000. Zheng called to the 6♥ turn, which both players checked.
Zheng then led out for 250,000 on the 10♣ river. Criado considered his options for a while, eventually deciding to move all in.
Zheng snap-called for 2,800,000, revealing 10♠10♦ for a rivered boat. Criado had been bluffing with K♦4♦, and he fell under eight figures, being surpassed in the counts by Zheng.
Jose Criado raised to 250,000 on the button with 6♦4♦, and Lukas van Eeden called in the big blind, having looked down at K♣J♣.
The 2♠A♣10♣ flop saw Van Eeden check-call Criado's 175,000 continuation-bet, having flopped a royal flush draw. The 3♣ turn then completed his flush, but Van Eeden continued to check-call, this time facing a 750,000 barrel from Criado.
When the Q♣ completed the board and Van Eeden hit the royal flush, he opted to lead out for 650,000. Left holding just six-high, Criado offered no resistance, as he returned his cards to the dealer.
Like a true professional, Van Eeden didn't show his cards.
Xiaosheng Zheng looked down at K♦2♦ in the cutoff and raised to 275,000. Joris Ruijs flat-called A♥Q♠ on the button, and Edward Pak defended K♣2♣ in the big blind.
The trio checked through the 6♠A♠7♣10♥ flop and turn, prompting Pak to bet 1,250,000 on the 10♠ river, a slight over-bet.
Zheng quickly folded, but Ruijs entered the tank. After spending a time bank, Ruijs folded his top pair, seeing Pak win the pot with his bluff.
Manuel Ferrari raised to 250,000 from under the gun with K♥K♦, which only Nicolas Chouity called in the small blind, having peeled 5♠5♣.
Chouity check-called a continuation-bet of 300,000 on a K♠4♣3♣ flop; however, when Ferrari barreled for 625,000 on the 8♥ turn, Chouity wisely folded.
Manuel Ferrari made it 250,000 to go in middle position, holding K♥Q♦. Jose Criado was in the cutoff, and he called with A♥10♣, while big blind Michael Dwyer defended J♦7♠.
Dwyer checked the 4♠K♠7♣ flop to Ferrari, who tossed in another 250,000. Criado folded, but Dwyer stuck around and called. Ferrari sized up to 325,000 on the 5♥ turn, winning him the pot as Dwyer decided to give up as well.
Edward Pak raised to 375,000 in the small blind, which faced resistance when Lukas van Eeden moved all-in for 3,550,000 from the big blind. Holding just K♣4♥, Pak folded, seeing Van Eeden increase his stack without having to see a runout with his A♠10♠.
Gerard Carbo opened to 250,000 in middle position. Joris Ruijs flat-called on the button, and Edward Pak defended his big blind.
The 8♦J♠7♠ flop checked to Ruijs, who bet 225,000. Pak called before Carbo folded A♥K♦. Pak checked again on the 10♠ turn, but after spending a time bank, Ruijs fired for 950,000.
Pak took some time to collect his thoughts, then called. The 2♣ river saw the hand check to showdown. Pak showed K♠4♠ for a flush, outclassing Ruijs's 6♥6♣ to overtake him in the counts.
Gerard Carbo was first to act and raised A♣2♣ to 250,000. It folded all the way to Nicolas Chouity in the big blind, who defended with K♥Q♦. On the 8♦6♥K♣ flop, Carbo continued for 200,000, and Chouity check-called.
The 7♣ turn was checked by both players, prompting Chouity to bet 350,000 on the 10♥ river. Carbo swiftly mucked his ace-high, and the chips were added to Chouity's stack.
