On a flop of 8♣K♣J♥, Rob Yong bet 35,000 from late position, and was called by Sirzat Hissou in the next seat.
A board-pairing J♠ landed on the turn, and Yong continued with a bet of 65,000. Hissou wasn't deterred, as he quickly threw in the call.
Both checked the 3♦ river and Yong tabled A♦Q♦ for ace-high. Hissou had that beat with K♥10♥ for a pair of kings, and the pot went his way.

"Loopoo" raised to 35,000 from the cutoff and Paul Phua jammed for 353,000 out of the small blind. "Loopoo" made the call to put Phua at risk.
Paul Phua: A♠Q♣
"Loopoo": 10♥10♦
Phua found himself in a flop for his tournament life, and he was the one needing to connect with the board.
Phua found a lot of help on the Q♦K♠9♦ flop, as he paired his queen to take the lead. The rest of the board ran out 3♥6♥, and Phua earned the much-needed double-up through "Loopoo".

Three ways to the 2♠K♦10♣ flop, where Jamil Wakil checked from the big blind, and Nick Schulman bet 40,000 out of the cutoff. Samuel Mullur called from the button, but Wakil folded.
The 3♦ dropped on the turn, and Schulman continued with a bet of 150,000. Once again, Mullur just called.
When the 9♥ appeared on the river, Schulman slid out a bet of 457,000, leaving just one blue T-5,000 chip behind. Mullur swiftly released his cards and relinquished the pot to Schulman.

Liang Xu raised to 34,000 from middle position and Mark Hammond called from the cutoff. Biao Ding squeezed to 140,000 out of the big blind, which forced Xu to fold. Hammond, however, back-jammed for 562,000, and was snap-called by Ding.
Biao Ding: K♣K♥
Mark Hammond: A♥A♣
It was poker's classic preflop cooler that Hammond was on the right side of.
Hammond improved to a set on the 6♥7♥Q♣8♣A♠ runout to win the pot and eliminate Ding, who had just one big blind less than Hammond to start the hand.
