Defending champion Domenico Lando jammed for 37,000 from the hijack, and Sameh Elamawy rejammed for around 105,000 from the cutoff.
Max Eberle was in the small blind, and he agonized over his decision before the clock was called, and he stuck his stack of around 49,000 into the middle, creating a three-way all-in scenario.
Domenico Lando: K♠Q♠ 
Max Eberle: 7♣7♦
Sameh Elamawy: 10♥7♥
Eberle was ahead, and flopped a set on the J♦7♠5♠ flop. However Lando had the flush draw, and he binked the A♠ turn.
The 8♣ river was a brick, and Lando secured a triple-up, while Eberle won a small side pot against Elamawy.

Stig Eketrapp had immediately got involved in another big pot, in a hand against Julianna Soirio, with the flop reading A♦Q♥2♠ and around 20,000 in the middle.
Soirio fired out a bet of 11,000 and Eketrapp called.
The 4♠ hit on the turn, and Soirio confidently slid out a bet of 33,000, sending Eketrapp back into a tough spot.
After around 90 seconds of thought, he folded and blew out his cheeks, his growing frustration clear to see.

A pot of 16,000 had developed on a completed board of Q♥10♣9♣A♠8♣.
Feliciano Gentile led out with a bet of 9,000, and was faced with a raise to 42,500 by Stig Eketrapp. Gentile went deep into the tank, taking at least two minutes counting out his remaining stack, asking to see his opponent's, and considering his next move.
It looked like a fold was the most likely outcome, but suddenly he gathered the rest of his 110,000 total stack together, and confidently moved it into the middle.
Eketrapp was surprised, and suddenly the pressure positions were reversed. Eketrapp then took four minutes deciding what to do, completely bamboozled by the jam.
A table mate decided to put him out of his misery by calling the clock and forcing a decision, and with about 20 seconds left, Eketrapp flicked his hand into the muck, sending a big pot to Gentile.
