Mehdi Namazi was short-stacked and all-in from under the gun. He was up against Mykhailo Lendel, who covered him from the cutoff.
Mehdi Namazi: A♠5♣
Mykhailo Lendel: Q♠10♠
The flop came Q♥J♣K♥, giving Lendel second pair for the lead, while Namazi had a gutshot to Broadway.
"Give him that two pair," Namazi requested, before the 10♦ turn did just that, improving Lendel to two pair and Namazi to the Broadway straight. The Q♦ river further improved Lendel to a full house, and Namazi was sent to the rail.

In a preflop confrontation, Michael Bohmerwald was all-in from the button for 55,000, Sridhar Sangannagari was all-in from under the gun for around 135,000, and they were up against Michael Marder who had both covered from Sangannagari's direct left.
Michael Bohmerwald: 10♠9♠
Sridhar Sangannagari: Q♥Q♦
Michael Marder: J♣J♦
The K♣5♦K♥7♥7♠ runout kept Sangannagari's queens in front to eliminate Bohmerwald, and leave Marder short.

Jack Baldauff opened to 17,000 from under the gun, and Michael Bohmerwald three-bet to 42,000 from middle position. Baldauff four-bet shoved for 107,000, and Bohmerwald called with a covering stack.
Jack Baldauff: A♦K♦
Michael Bohmerwald: K♣Q♥
Bohmerwald had kicker problems, and his king was still dominated on the J♦3♣6♣ flop.
"Nice hand" Bohmerwald told his opponent after picking up some equity with a flush draw on the 7♣ turn, which got some laughs from around the table.
"Don't do that," Baldauff, clearly amused, replied.
Despite the early congratulations from Bohmerwalf, Baldauff's hand held up on the J♥ river for the double, leaving Bohmerwald short-stacked.

With four players seeing a board of Q♥3♠5♣ and around 70,000 in the middle, a player in the small blind checked, and Ken Wang bet 15,000 from the big blind. Daniel Amsalem folded from early position, a player in the hijack folded, and the player in the small blind called.
On the 6♣ turn the small blind checked and Wang shoved, covering the small blind who had a bit less than 70,000. The small blind folded, and Wang took the hand.
Amsalem has rapidly accumulated chips over the last couple of levels, and is now leading the field with over 450,000.
