Bryce Yockey raised to 40,000 from early position and Kevin Martin called from a few seats over before Kelvin Kerber came along from the seat next to that. Mikhail Volfson made it 175,000 from the blinds and Yockey shoved with a bunch — which sent Martin and Kerber running for the hills. Volfson tossed in the 15,000 he left behind and the cards were turned up.
Mikhail Volfson: Q♥Q♣
Bryce Yockey: A♠A♣
The board ran out K♣9♠2♠4♣6♥ and the aces held to send Volfson to the rail.
Wei-hsun Lu opened in early position to 40,000 before the action was on Jonathan Vong in middle position. After a minute in the tank he put in a three-bet to 120,000.
It folded back to Lu who thought over his options for about a minute and then moved all in for his last 925,000. Vong went into the tank and seemed to have a very tough decision. Eventually he thought better of a call and folded.
Lu dragged a healthy pot without even seeing a flop.
Konstantin Maslak was all in for 600,000 from the cutoff against Juan Baraza in the big blind.
Konstantin Maslak: A♦K♦
Juan Baraza: Q♣J♣
Maslak stayed ahead with ace-high as the board ran out 6♣5♠10♦4♣8♦ to earn him a double.

Frank Lagodich opened to 40,000 on the button and Kevin Martin defended in the big blind.
Martin checked on the flop of 8♣10♣7♠ and Lagodich continued for 55,000. Martin called. Martin checked again on the 4♠ turn and Lagodich checked back.
The 4♥ river completed the board and Martin led out for 155,000. Lagodich quickly called. Martin showed Q♠10♦ for a pair of tens, but he was out-kicked by the K♦10♥ of his opponent.
The action was opened when recent Game of Gold Star Olga Iermolcheva opened in middle position to 40,000. It folded to high stakes crusher Adrian Mateos on the button who cold called and the big blind defedned.
The 2♠8♦J♠ flop landed and the action checked all the way through to a 2♦ turn. The action checked to Iermolcheva again and after a moment in thought she put her foot back on the gas and bet 65,000. Both of her opponents thought it over but found a fold.
She dragged the pot to move over average stack.
