: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Scott Wilson opened this pot to 20,000, called by Christopher Zenonos to his direct left and the big blind.
Three players saw the board of 8♣Q♥10♥. The action was checked to Zenonos who bet 40,000 which was first called by the big blind. However, Wilson had other ideas as he raised the bet up to 140,000. After Zenonos' call, the big blind stepped aside.
On the 3♠ turn Wilson bet 200,000. After minutes in the tank Zenonos folded allowing Wilson to surpass the million-chip mark.

: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Patrick Mccullough raised to 26,000 in early position and Julien Perouse called in the small blind before Christian Loucas jammed his entire stack into the middle from the big blind. Mccullough quickly got out of the way and Perouse went into the tank.
"How much is it?" Asked Perouse. After the dealer let him know it was 216,000 he thought about it for a bit longer. "Can I show my hand?"
The floor denied the possibility of showing his hand before he made the call.
Christian Loucas: 10♣10♥
Julien Perouse: 8♣8♦
Loucas had Perouse dominated as the flop came J♥6♦4♠. The K♥ was a safe one, even though Loucas still felt uneasy. "That's okay, It'll hit on the river. The river is always my demise."
However, the eight never showed up as the 9♥ landed on the river for Loucas to collect a full double up.

Jason Somerville raised to 20,000 from early position and was three-bet by Dakota Britton on the button to 65,000. The action folded back around to Somerville who called.
The dealer peeled a flop of 2♦3♠7♠ and Somerville checked to Britton, who checked behind, with both players checking the Q♠ turn as well.
The river brought the A♦ and again Somerville checked to Britton, who this time decided to bet 75,000.
"I wish we could see who was ahead on each street," said Somerville, before making the fold.

Jacob Long raised to 25,000 in the cutoff before Pete Chen called on the button. Anatoly Zharnitsky shoved in the small blind for about 140,000 before Xulong Zhang instantly pushed all of his 750,000 across the line from the big blind. Both Long and Chen's cards went into the muck and both hands were tabled.
Anatoly Zharnitsky: J♦J♠
Xulong Zhang: K♣K♦
Zharnitsky woke up with pocket jacks in the small blind but ran into the monster pocket kings of Zhang and he wasn't able to catch up as the board ran out 8♠7♥4♥A♣10♠, sending him to the payout desk.

: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Dylan Lemery raised in early position to 22,000 finding one caller out of the big blind.
The board came 3♥J♦10♠. The big blind check-called the 16,000 bet from Lemery and they went to the turn.
The 3♠ saw both players check to the Q♣ river. The big blind now lead for 25,000 quickly picked off by Lemery who held A♠Q♥. The big blind tabled an inferior Q♦9♦ and conceded the pot.

: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
The action began with Hunter Mcclelland opening from early position to 23,000 and getting called by Michael Sabbia on the button and Dylan Lemery from the big blind.
The monotone flop of 7♦2♦8♦ saw both Lemery and Mcclelland check to Sabbia, who put in a bet of 20,000, with both players calling.
With the pot growing, the dealer flipped the Q♥ on the turn and this time Sabbia bet 80,000 after being checked to by both Lemery and Mcclelland.
Lemery called the 80,000 chip bet and Mcclelland folded, bringing us the 10♦ river.
Both Lemery and Sabbia checked and Lemery revealed K♥Q♦ for a rivered queen-high flush. Sabbia mucked face down.
