Hand #35: Joe Cada raised it up to 525,000 and Artem Metalidi called in the big blind. On a flop of {10-Spades}{5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}, Metalidi checked and Cada's continuation bet of 450,000 did the trick to win the pot uncontested.

The flop fell {Q-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{5-Clubs} and Metalidi continued for 900,000, Zobian didn't go anywhere and tossed in calling chips. The board paired on the {5-Hearts} turn and Metalidi checked, Zobian made it 2,325,000 to go, Metalidi called.

Hand #38: Zobian made it 530,000 to go from the button and Nicolas Manion three-bet to 1,500,000 out of the big blind, Zobian called.

After the {6-Diamonds} turn, Manion checked and called a bet of 1,675,000 by Zobian to see the {2-Diamonds} on the river.

Manion checked once more, and Zobian bet big, making it 6,225,000 to go. Manion called and Zobian tabled a bluff with the {Q-Spades}{10-Spades}, which Manion had beat with {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds} to let his rail applaud.
