SM raised and earned one caller to then see Adam Woolf click it up to 75,000 in the big blind. The initial raiser bumped it up to 205,000 and it folded back to Woolf, who used two time banks and called.
On the 8♣4♠3♦ flop, Woolf jammed for 322,000 and SM used two time banks before folding.
Up next, SM clashed with Giovanni Zanette, who had described his opponent as the "most gifted" player.
SM defended the big blind and the chips were splashing into the middle until the 10♦9♠5♥A♣4♣ river, on which SM bet 250,000. Zanette sigh-called after a lot of consideration and mucked when he was shown the 10♥9♥.

Mariette Language and SM tangled in a pot in which Language ended up jamming the A♠7♠6♦ flop. SM smirked and folded the J♠9♠ for the jack-high flush draw. Language also revealed her cards, showing the K♠8♠ and the smirk of SM turned into a big smile as he avoided a potential disaster.
Language also won the next pot without showdown to jump above half a million in chips.

On a flop of Q♣6♣2♣, Luqman A pushed all-in for 268,000 and Gerrit van der Spoel tank-called with the words "maybe a split pot".
