Aaron Overton shipped it for his final 25,100 from early position and was called by Huihan Wu out of the big blind to be at risk.
Aaron Overton: K♣K♦
Huihan Wu: A♥10♥
The flop would give Wu more outs when it came 7♥J♥6♦ to give Wu a flush draw.
Overton's position would be softened even more on the 10♠ turn as Wu added more outs to knock out Overton.
Despite all the noise, the kings held on the J♠ river to award Overton the double.
This hand was picked up on the river of a pot that swelled to over 40,000 with a board that read 4♠8♠5♥4♥Q♣.
Thien Tran put out a bet of 17,000 from early position. Robert Mather quickly called to go to a showdown.
Tran showed A♥5♣ for a pair of fives, but Mather had more firepower than that as he tabled J♦J♠ for a pair of jacks to best Tran and take down the pot.

It was a battle of the Eduardos as Eduardo Miranda opened to 1,700 from middle position before Eduardo Rangel made it 7,500 from the hijack.
Miranda called and sent them to a flop of 7♦Q♦7♣ before he checked. Rangel continued for 5,000 and was called by Miranda.
Both players checked the 10♥ turn to bring the 9♥ river.
Miranda chose to lead out for 6,000, but Rangel had other plans as he opted to raise to 25,000.
Rangel's raise sent Miranda deep into the tank as he pondered what to do.
Miranda eventually made the call, and they went to a showdown.
Rangel showed A♣K♥ for ace high. Miranda nodded his head before he tabled 5♥5♣ for a fives and sevens to claim the pot.
Anthony Perez limped from under the gun before Lee Chau opted to shove for his final 12,700 from the cutoff. Perez made the call to put Chau at risk.
Lee Chau: A♣6♠
Anthony Perez: K♥Q♦
Chau was best preflop, but the flop changed that in a hurry when it came K♠10♦7♠ to give Perez a pair of kings and the lead.
The 3♥ turn was of no use to Chau, and Perez secured the pot on the 7♥ river as Chau hit the exit.
Kody Edens began the bidding with a raise to 2,800 from early position. Vanna Tea called out of the middle position, but Benjamin Primus was in the mood to put more chips in the pot. Primus chose to three-bet to 14,000 from the cutoff. Both Edens and Tea called to keep the pot three-handed as they took a flop.
The 5♥5♠10♥ flop prompted both Edens and Tea to check over to Primus, who kept his foot on the gas pedal with a wager of 12,000.
Neither opponent chose to continue as Primus took down the pot on the flop.
This hand was picked up on the river of a board that read 10♥4♠3♦9♦5♣ with over 30,000 in the pot.
Richard Sharon bet 13,000 before Brett Murray went all-in. Santos Cruz Diaz also went all-in, and Sharon folded to let Murray and Diaz go to a showdown with Diaz at risk.
Diaz had a straight with A♥2♥, but much to his disappointment, it was Murray who had the nuts with 7♦6♦ for a higher straight as the river was a spark plug that ignited a clash on the river.

Blinds: 600/1,200

Mei Seow opened to 3,000 from early position. Roger Bailey made the call from the hijack before Yousef Salameh joined on the button. Mrityunjay Jha opted to shove for his final 10,700 from the small blind. He shove was called by Seow, while the other two opponents folded to go to a showdown with Jha at risk
Mrityunjay Jha: A♥Q♥
Mei Seow: A♠Q♦
The two held the same hand, so thoughts of a chop were lingering over the table when they went to a runout, and the flop did not appear to alter that train of thought when it came 4♥10♠9♦.
The 2♥ turn presented other possibilities as Jha was now freerolling to a flush draw with one card to go.
Jha would break the chop on the J♥ river to score a double up.
His run would not end there as on the very next hand Silbiano Rubio shoved for his final 7,700 from early position and was called by Jha on the button to be at risk.
Silbiano Rubio: K♦Q♥
Mrityunjay Jha: A♥8♠
Jha was ahead, and the flop kept him in the lead when it fanned out 8♥10♥4♠.
The 5♠ turn was of no help to Rubio, and the 2♥ river was a blank as Jha scored the knockout right after doubling up himself.
