Dean Hutchison piled his stack of 540,000 into the middle from the hijack and Atanas Malinov took his time before he called from the cutoff.
Dean Hutchison: A♣9♠ 
Atanas Malinov: A♠A♦
Hutchinson had run into the bullets and didn't seem like he could dodge them after the 10♠6♥6♣ flop. A K♣ on the turn sealed the deal as Hutchinson was already up on his feet, and the meaningless 3♠ completed the runout.

Nikita Kalinin's stack had dwindled to just over 200,000 and he put them all at risk from early position after Wojciech Frankowski had opened to 100,000 from under the gun. Everybody else at the table folded, and Frankowski stuck in a chip to call.
Nikita Kalinin: K♦J♦
Wojciech Frankowski: A♥K♣
An all-spade flop of 3♠5♠10♠ didn't offer any help to either player as neither held a spade, but the Q♥ turn did give Kalinin an open-ended straight draw. However, the 8♦ river was a brick, and he made his way to the exit.

Jan Petersen made an open to 150,000 from the cutoff and Aren Bezhanyan three-bet to 375,000 on the button. Alexandru Lupuleac was in the big blind and four-bet shoved for around 1,250,000, which got a quick fold out of Petersen.
Bezhanyan didn't fold so quickly and was in the tank for some time before he reluctantly tossed his cards into the middle.
"Show the five," joked Petersen to Lupuleac.
Lupuleac didn't oblige and returned his cards face down to the dealer, which brought up the topic of a new ability the players have here at Merit Poker — rabbit hunting!
At the start of each major tournament, players receive a single Rabbit Hunting card, which they can redeem at any time to reveal the turn or river after they've folded. However, the card can't be used preflop to see a full runout—it's only valid when a player folds on the flop or turn, allowing them to satisfy their curiosity about what might have been.
