After an early raise, Kevin Martin reraised the button to 48,000, and Pavel "EzzzGame" Plesuv 4-bet the small blind to 112,000. It folded back to Martin, and he shoved for more than 700,000, and Plesuv called him off with more.
Pavel "EzzzGame" Plesuv: 
Kevin Martin: 
Board: 
Martin calls the ace-king hand "church" and his prayers were answered on this one, collecting a big double through Plesuv with the king on the flop. That put Martin in the chip lead.

"onlyyuki": 
Wenjun "twj122" Tu: 
Board: 
The kings were ahead from the start, but after the king on the turn, the jack on the river might have been a bit of a needle for Tu.
