Hand #96: Vincent Chauve opened to 3.2 million from the hijack and Kainalu McCue-Unciano called from the cutoff. Benjamin Ector shipped all in for 8.2 million on the button which got both of the blinds to fold. Chauve re-shoved all in over the top which got McCue-Unciano to lay his hand down.

Vincent Chauve: {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}
Benjamin Ector: {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}

The flop came {10-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{4-Hearts} which left Chauve in the lead with his pair of nines. However, the {j-Hearts} on the turn sent Ector into the lead and his rail burst into cheers. The {7-Diamonds} on the river changed nothing and Ector found himself a double up.

Hand #97: Gregory Katayama raised to 4.8 million in the small blind and Chauve called from the big blind. The flop came {9-Spades}{4-Spades}{4-Hearts} and Katayama led out for 4.5 million. Chauve called and the {a-Hearts} landed on the turn.

Katayama fired out another bet of 9 million but Chauve stuck around to see the {3-Diamonds} on the river. Katayama moved all in, putting Chauve to the test for his remaining 30 million chips. Chauve thought for over a minute and finally sent his cards to the muck.

Hand #98: Chauve limped in from the small blind and McCue-Unciano quickly checked his option. The flop came {q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{4-Clubs} and both players checked to the {2-Hearts} on the turn. Two more checks and the {a-Clubs} completed the board. The players checked it down and Chauve claimed the pot.

Hand #99: Katayama raised to 3.2 million in the cutoff and picked up the blinds and ante.
