Ian Tang opened in early position to 6,000 before the action folded to Mayuran Srithara in the cutoff who called and the rest of the players folded.
The 6♣6♠10♣ flop landed and Tang continued for 6,000. Srithara called and 3♠ rolled off on the turn. Tang sat in the tank for about a minute before putting out a chunky bet of 23,000. Srithara then went into a tank of his own but eventually he mucked. Tang scooped after some well time aggression.

The action was opened by Quingwei Meng in early position before getting three-bet by Georgees Zero in middle position. It then folded all the way to James Pillon in late position who cold four-bet jammed having both players covered...they both called.
Quingwei Meng: Q♠Q♣
Georgees Zero: A♠K♠
James Pillon: A♥K♣
It was kind of the classic flip but with the twist that two of the players had each others outs. Meng was looking good through the 10♣3♣5♥ flop but the dealer then peeled the K♥ turn. Meng was drawing slim and the 8♦ river wouldn't come. Despite being in prime position for a triple, the other two players would split up his chips. Meng hit the rail just before break.

The action was opened in the cutoff to 6,500 by Colin Mchugh before the action folded all the way to Gregory Taylor in the small blind who took a moment and then moved all in for his last 64,000. Mchugh went into the tank and eventually flicked in a call.
The cards hit their backs with Mchugh all in and at risk.
Gregory Taylor: A♦5♦
Colin Mchugh: A♣J♦
Taylor was holding the hand that all the kids and the solver love but he would still need some help. He got that help on the 4♠5♣2♠ flop in the form of top pair. The 9♦ turn and K♦ river did not improve Mchugh and he would double up Taylor.

The action folded to Leo Gulliver on the button who limped before Xin Qi limped in the small blind and then Bradley Hinnegan checked his option in the big blind.
The 9♠8♣7♣ flop landed and the action quickly checked through to a 6♠ turn. Qi then led from the small blind for 4,000 and both players called.
The Q♦ hit the river and the action quickly checked through. Qi tabled 8x6x for two pair but Hinnegan had him pipped with 9x6x for a better two pair and the button mucked. Hinnegan dragged the pot and continues to chip up.

The action folded all the way to the table chip leader, John Araujo, on the button who opened to 8,000 before Daniel Kirsch jammed for 47,500 from the small blind.
Araujo sat in the tank for a moment before sticking in a call to put Kirsch at risk.
Daniel Kirsch: K♠J♣
John Araujo: A♠8♣
The full board ran out 2♥3♦4♣A♣3♠ and the pair of aces for Araujo was enough to send Kirsch to the rail before the money.
