It was a blind on blind situation as Giuliano Lentini moved all in from the big blind over the raise from Josep Galindo in the small blind. Galindo waited a while, before the floor warned him about stalling and he made the call right after.

Galindo had the {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds} and was looking to fade the {k-Hearts}{q-Spades} of Lentini.

The flop came {3-Spades}{2-Spades}{q-Clubs} to send Lentini into the lead. The turn was the {5-Diamonds} and the river the {7-Diamonds} to end Galindo's run in 16th place.

Long Ma raised to 5,500,000 from early position. The action folded to Edward Cummins, who defended from the big blind.

The flop came down the {10-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}. Cummins open-jammed for 15,700,000. Ma immediately looked distressed and held his cards up to clearly visible to himself. After several moments he put his cards face down again ad tanked more, playing with his chips. Eventually, he spiked the chips into the middle for the call.

Ma had the {k-Hearts}{k-Spades} and was ahead against the {j-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} draw of Cummins. The turn was the {3-Clubs} and the river came the {4-Clubs} to miss the diamonds and to finish off Cummins in 15th place.
