Jeffrey Griffiths opened to 11,000 from middle position but was then three-bet by San Vong in the small blind to 65,000. Griffiths thought about it for a second and then made the call to see a flop of 6♦A♠10♦.
Vong then immediately slid out a bet of 85,000 and Griffiths looked like he was going to call but instead tossed in his cards face up to show Q♣Q♦. Vong then showed him it was the proper laydown and tabled A♥K♦.
After checking through the flop of J♣9♠9♣, Sooraj Sairam and Thomas Morris went to a turn 7♦, where Morris bet 15,000 into the pot of 30,000.
Sairam check-called the bet to see the river 2♣ and he checked once more.
Morris then tossed out a bet of 26,000 and sent Sairam into the tank. After a full minute in thought, he finally made the call, only to be shown K♣K♥ by Morris for a big two pair and he quickly mucked.

The players are now on their third 15-minute break of the afternoon and will return to action shortly.
On a three-way flop of Q♣Q♦5♠, Richard Herrera, Felipe Quijano, and Julian Hayes all checked to see the 10♥ on the turn.
Herrera then led out for 8,000 and was called by Quijano while Hayes got out of the way.
On the river 10♣, Herrera decided to check and Quijana quickly checked back to show K♣9♣ for king-high and Herrara mucked.
John Murphy opened to 7,000 from late position and Bruno Hernandez Esquivel Vel defended from the big blind to see a flop of 2♥J♠4♦.
Vel checked over to Murphy who put out a continuation bet of 6,500 which prompted a fold from his opponent and he was awarded the pot.
