Alex Montgomery jammed from the small blind with the covering stack, and after around 90 seconds of thought Jonathan Bradley got his 31,500 stack into the middle.
Jonathan Bradley: K♥4♣
Alex Montgomery: A♣3♦
Bradley was behind, and Montgomery's ace-high was enough after the Q♥10♠8♦2♠5♣ runout.
Around 40,000 was in the middle on a board of 10♥6♣5♦10♠J♣, when Dario Marinelli fired out a bet of 35,000, leaving himself 6,000 behind.
Fidan Zahiti immediately raised to 75,000, and after around 90 seconds of thought, Marinelli open-folded 10♣ for trip tens.
Zahiti looked astonished, and showed the 10♦, but gave no indication as to whether he had a full house.
Marinelli's kicker must have been bad as he seemed certain he was beat - "Maybe I'll win the tournament now.", he said. The Italian busted a couple of hands later, but can have another crack in the remaining flights.

In the 26th episode, Connor speaks with chess streamer and GGPoker ambassador Alexandra Botez about learning chess and poker from her dad, getting into streaming at Stanford, dealing with online trolls, creating content with her sister Andrea Botez and the similarities between chess and poker.
Botez also talked about winning $456,900 in a legendary 2022 Hustler Casino Livestream that included Phil Hellmuth, Mr. Beast and Ninja, as well as signing on as a GGPoker ambassador and securing two career-high cashes at World Series of Poker (WSOP) Paradise (she finished 60th in the $10,000 GGMillion$ Championship for $22,190 before finishing 187th in the $25,000 Super Main Event for $67,300).

Around 50,000 was in the middle, in a hand between Piotr Wasilewski in early position and Nicholas Galtos in the big blind, with the board reading 9♠8♣6♦5♠J♠.
Galtos led out with a bet of 21,000, and after some deliberation, and asking "You really have the seven?" Wasilewski open folded K♥K♣.
