Naz Sibaei opened to 130,000 from under the gun, and Nektarios Dimitrakis stuck in a call from the small blind. Dimitrakis checked the 4♥3♣J♥ flop, where Sibaei continued for 225,000.

Dimitrakis moved all in, and Sibaei did not take long to announce a call.

Nektarios Dimitrakis: A♥A♦ All in
Naz Sibaei: K♥J♦

Sibaei's pair of jacks were no good, as Dimitrakis improved to a set of aces on the A♣ turn. The 9♣ river changed nothing, and Dimitrakis secured a big double-up.

Dylan Foster opened to 130,000 on the button, and Hun Wei Lee stuck in a call from the small blind. Lee checked the J♣K♣K♠ flop, and Foster continued for 90,000, Lee then raised to 235,000, and Foster took some time before sliding in a call.

Lee led out for 280,000 on the K♦ turn, and Foster called to see the 9♠ river. Lee sized down to 180,000, and Foster tossed in a calling chip.

Lee tabled K♥10♦ for quad kings, taking down a healthy pot as Foster could only muck his hand.

On a flop of 10♥5♣3♣, Jyrki Hilakari invested 500,000 alongside Bobby Zhang and then led the 7♦ turn for 500,000. Zhang pushed for 285,000 on top and Hilakari called.

Bobby Zhang: 5♥5♠ All in
Jyrki Hilakari: J♣10♣

"I need a ten or clubs," Hilakari mentioned but only the clubs were actually live except for one of them. No help came with the 2♥ river and pocket fives were responsible for yet another big pot on table 49 as Zhang doubled for 785,000.

"I am getting slaughtered with ace-king, I already lost two million chips with it," Joe Hachem mentioned in table chat and then added that he was thinking about folding them preflop.

Nektarios Dimitrakis opened to 200,000 in the hijack, and Jyrki Hilakari moved all in from the cutoff. Ruben Padilla also shoved his stack of 600,000 from the big blind, and Dimitrakis took some time before folding while indicated that he had pocket tens.

Ruben Padilla: A♣7♠ All in
Jyrki Hilakari: Q♣Q♥

Padilla found no help on the J♣10♦2♦7♣J♥ runout, while Dimitrakis laughed after seeing a ten hit the board. Padilla was sent out in 20th position, indicating to the table that he didn't see Hilakari's shove before sending his stack into the middle.
