Ernst Aschacher has Blair Hinkle to his immediate left, but that's not stopping him from bumping heads with the WSOP bracelet winner.
During one hand, Aschacher limped in late position, but then promptly faced Hinkle’s 1,200 raise on the button. The blinds called, as did Ashacher.
The dealer fanned J♥2♣5♥ on the flop, resulting in checks from the players in front of Hinkle, who bet 1,600. Hinkle’s action forced the blinds out of the hand, but Ashacher called.
The turn showed A♣, drawing checks from both players. The 9♥ hit the turn and Aschacher checked. Hinkle bet 3,200, but then Aschacher check-raised, which forced Hinkle to promptly fold and the dealer pushed the pot to Aschacher.
On the very next hand, the two mixed it up again.
The board showed 10♦5♥5♣J♠4♥ and the two players were heads up. Aschacher bet after Hinkle checked out of the small blind, and took down the pot.

With 6,500 in the middle, three players saw the turn of 9♦6♣5♥3♠. Matthias Kubler in the hijack bet 2,200 and was met with a check-raise of 8,000 from under-the-gunner Sridhar Sangannagari.
The middle position folded and Kubler responded with a bet of 17,500. Sangannagari mulled over their decision and opted to fold, giving Kubler the pot.

With 14,000 in the middle on a completed board of A♥5♠3♦7♦J♣, Terry Fleischer bet 6,600 from the button. The hijack took a moment before making the call.
Fleischer turned over 6♣4♣ for the straight, while the cutoff grimaced showing Ax9x for a no-good top pair.

Steve Wilkie was involved in three-way action on a flop showing 8♠3♦6♥ and the pot already had more than 50,000 in the middle of the table.
The fireworks went off on the turn when 8♦ appeared on the board. A player in early position went all in, then a player behind reraised all in. Wilkie, who was covered by his two opponents, followed by going all in to put his tournament at stake. He appeared in good shape when the cards were tabled.
Steve Wilkie: 10♣8♣
First all in: A♣A♠
Second all in: J♣J♦
Wilkie’s trip eights had a commanding lead, which wasn’t lost when the dealer placed the 4♥ on the river to give Wilkie a triple up.

On a three-way turn, the board read K♠A♠9♦2♥ when Joe Messineo in early position bet 7,500 after a check from the big blind. The middle position player to his left made the call while the big blind folded and the two went heads-up to a river 5♦.
Messineo looked visibly confused, visibly shaking his head as he checked it over his opponent, who seemed like he couldn't tell if Messineo was pulling a Hollywood or not, so he just checked back.
Messineo then flipped over A♣Q♣ for top pair and his opponent quickly mucked to award him the pot.
"What, you didn't like that river?" another player at the table joked.
"I mean yeah I'm glad spades missed I just wasn't happy about him calling the 7,500," Messineo replied as he stacked his new chips.
