Alex Kulev raised to 1,200,000 from the button with 10♣8♠ and Chris Brewer moved all-in for 6,900,000 with A♦J♦ from the small blind, prompting Kulev to fold.

In the next hand, Dan Smith raised to 1,300,000 from middle position with 8♥8♣ and was called by Chance Kornuth in the big blind with A♦8♦.

Kornuth check-folded the 10♦4♠Q♥ flop to a 900,000 bet from Smith.

Smith would pick up K♦K♣ and raise to 1,300,000 from middle position in the very next hand, with Chris Brewer picking up J♠J♣ in late position. Brewer put in a three-bet of 3,600,000, almost half of his remaining stack of 9,300,000.

But it wouldn't end there. Artur Martirosian looked down at Q♠Q♥ from the big blind and moved all in over both players for 10,700,000. Smith would deliberate for a moment before making the call.

Brewer was able to sniff out the trouble and got out of the way.

The A♥5♣8♥ flop kept Smith in the lead, but with Martirosian halfway out the door, the Q♣ on the turn pulled him right back in and catapulted him into the lead in the hand.

The J♥ left Smith unimproved and Martirosian got the full double-up.
