Rokas Asipauskas raised it up from the cutoff and was called by Liv Boeree on the button. The flop fell K♥5♦3♠ and Asipauskas continued with a bet of 8,000. Boeree called and the K♣ paired the board on the turn.

Asipauskas fired out another bet of 20,000 and Boeree stuck around for the Q♣ on the river. Asipauskas threw in another 28,000 and Boeree thought for a minute before making it 75,000. Asipauskas looked defeated as he reluctantly made the call. Boeree tabled 5♠5♣ for a full house and Asipauskas conceded the pot.

Level 4 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Jon Pardy just recently got his seat in the Super Main Event after taking an overnight flight to get here from South America. He wasted little time getting in on the action with a raise to 8,000 from under the gun. Youngsik Eum called on the button and the flop of K♦3♥3♦ hit the felt.

Pardy continued with a bet of 12,000 and Eum called to see the 10♦ on the turn. Pardy unleashed another barrel of 32,000 and Eum still called. The J♣ completed the board and both players tapped the table. Pardy rolled over K♠Q♥ for kings-up and that was enough to earn the pot.

Level 4 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Heads up on a flop of 4♥8♠10♠, Panagiotis Gavriilidis bet 60,000 from the hijack and Victor Chong called in the small blind.

The turn was the 5♠ and Gavriilidis moved all in for 160,000. Chong snap-called with A♣A♠, but Gavriilidis had K♠Q♠ for a flush.

The 9♠ fell on the river and Gavriilidis shot out of his seat after Chong improved to the nut flush, letting out a few choice words in his native language before snapping a photo of the board and heading for the exit.

"You know what the odds were of hitting that spade?" tablemate Eric Afriat said to Chong.

"Very low," Chong replied with a smile.

Rokas Asipauskas opened to 13,000 from under the gun and Alessio La Francesca called in middle position. In the big blind, David D'Alessandro put in a small three-bet to 30,000 and both opponents called.

On the J♥4♥2♣ flop, D'Alessandro checked it over to Asipauskas, who bet 30,000. La Francesca swiftly folded before D'Alessandro called.

The 6♠ turn checked through to the A♥ river which saw D'Alessandro check for a third time. Asipauskas then fired a bet of 75,000. D'Alessandro would think it over for a minute before electing to fold, and Asipauskas won without showdown.
