Quan Zhou raised to 27,000 on the button and Ami Barer ripped all in for 76,000 in the small blind. Ivan Zhang folded his big blind and Zhou quickly called to put Barer at risk.
Ami Barer: A♣J♦
Quan Zhou: 8♠8♦
It was a coin flip and the flop of Q♣Q♦J♠ gave Barer the lead with the better two pair. The 7♠ on the turn and the 3♣ on the river changed nothing, allowing Barer to survive.

Renji Mao opened to 25,000 from the hijack with A♥J♥ and Ivan Zhang defended his big blind holding J♠10♠.
Both players checked on the 3♠2♦7♣ flop and then Zhang led out for 55,000 on the 7♥ turn. Mao thought a bit and called with his ace-high.
Zhang improved to tens-up on the 10♣ river and fired 155,000 into the middle. Mao thought it over, but eventually decided to correctly lay his hand down to award Zhang the pot.

Ante: 12,000
Dominik Nitsche opened to 25,000 with the K♣Q♠ in the hijack and Renji Mao three-bet to 70,000 one seat over with the K♠K♥. It folded back to Nitsche and he gave his table neighbour a stare down before using a time bank extension.
Nitsche checked his cards once more and then used a second time bank extension. The German then four-bet small to 130,000 and Mao needed a time bank card himself before checking his stack, moving all-in and forcing a snap-fold.
