Table seven brought a three-way clash before the flop and considering all of that action, Stephen Courtney folded Q♥Q♠ and showed them.
Rayhaan Adam: 9♦9♣ 
Anand Kumar: J♥J♣
John Abrosie: A♥K♦
The board ran out 10♠6♣6♠3♠J♦ and Kumar rivered a full house for good measure to knock out Adam and leave Abrosie short.
The open raise by Tanith Rothman was three-bet to 5,800 by Rajeev Poonhath in the big blind, who then called a four-bet to 15,000. Poonhath checked the 9♣7♥3♣ flop and Rothman pushed all-in with nearly the same stack to win the pot.

Giovanni Gaggia three-bet an open raise to 8,700 and was called by Dirk Steenkamp as well as Jamie Vilela behind them. Giovanni Zanette then moved all-in as the initial preflop raiser and Gaggia called all-in. Steenkamp folded and Vilela sigh-folded, exposing the A♥K♦ as he suspected Zanette had pocket kings.
Giovanni Gaggia: J♥J♠
Giovanni Zanette: 10♣10♥
The board ran out Q♥9♥7♥9♣5♥ and Gaggia doubled for 57,200. Steenkamp said he folded pocket sevens while Vilela would have also won with the ace-high flush.
A short stack jammed for the second time in a row and this time, the shove was for 7,700. Joe Rahme reraised to 21,000 and isolated successfully. His A♦8♦ was up against Q♠10♠ and sealed the victory on the turn of a 6♥4♦4♥A♣10♣ board.
Following an open raise to 2,000 lover on table three, six players called and the seven-way flop of 10♣5♠4♠ emerged. Anand Kumar in the small blind led for 12,000 and Gregory Maistry pushed all-in for 39,000 in the big blind. All other players folded back to Kumar, who reluctantly called all-in with nearly the same stack size.
Anand Kumar: 10♦9♦
Gregory Maistry: J♦10♠
The 6♣ turn and 6♥ river ensured that the kicker played and Kumar was covered by a mere single big blind.
On the tail end of a 9♥8♥8♠5♣2♦ board, Wesley Blom bet 16,000 out of the big blind. Hadar Goren called and then mucked when he was shown the 7♣6♣ for a turned straight by Blom.
Goren was down to only around 4,000 chips after this hand and vanished shortly after.
Up until now, Moon Khan had been thriving near the top of the leaderboard but he just took a significant blow when he got it in against Jarred Solomon on the Q♦J♣7♦10♣ turn.
Khan's J♥10♠ had turned two pair but the Q♣J♠ of Solomon was way ahead with the top two pair. The river was the 6♥ and Solomon doubled for 50,900.
