With around 350,000 in the middle to the 10♦10♠5♠ flop, Bogdan Capitan ended up all-in and at risk for the 425,000 he had behind and big stack Stanislav Halatenko quickly called.
Bogdan Capitan: Q♣Q♥8♥2♠
Stanislav Halatenko: J♣10♥9♣9♠
Capitan gasped a quick "oops" when he was caught with the fingers in the cookie jar. Nothing changed with the 7♠ turn but the Q♦ river provided the fortunate double-up.
Peng Shan raised from the cutoff to 310,000. Joesph Liberta in the small blind three-bet to the size of the pot for 310,000. Shan four-bet jammed putting Liberta all in and Liberta called.
Joseph Liberta: A♦K♥J♦9♦
Peng Shan: K♦K♠8♥6♦
The board ran out 3♣4♠2♠J♣3♥. Shan's kings held to end Liberta's run at the bracelet.
Oswin Ziegelbecker was all-in and at risk preflop for 710,000 with the J♥9♣8♣6♥. He was looked up by Dimitar Danchev with the K♥Q♥Q♦J♣ and the Austrian got there on a board of A♥J♦6♠2♦7♣ as he flopped jacks and sixes.
Edmund Chan was then all-in and at risk one table over and faced Ioannis Angelou Konstas in the following showdown.
Edmund Chan: A♠K♦10♦2♠
Ioannis Angelou Konstas: A♥A♣Q♣4♥
The 8♦8♣4♠ flop left Chan in desperate shape and he was ready to leave. However, the 3♠ turn and J♠ river provided running spades for a flush and double-up.
Sonny Franco in the cutoff had most of his short stack in the middle already with a pot-sized raise, and he was called by Orod Ashegh. The flop came A♠Q♠4♥ and Franco jammed for the 75,000 he had behind. Ashegh sighed and called, mentioning that the ace was the only card he didn't want to see.
Sonny Franco: A♥10♣8♣3♥
Orod Ashegh: K♦K♥Q♦6♠
The Q♣ turn improved Ashegh to trips queens and he asked for a deuce. Instead, the river brought the K♠ and that was good enough to eliminate Franco with a set of kings.
PokerNews caught the action as the full board read 10♥K♦3♥9♦J♣. Joseph Liberta was the all-in and at-risk player against Juha Helppi.
Joesph Liberta: A♣A♠Q♠5♦
Juha Helppi: 10♠9♠8♣7♠
Liberta doubled up to 700,000 while Helppi was left short with approximately 200,000.
Helppi, in only a matter of hands, found his own double-up virtue of Jose Castillo putting him back up to 500,000.
Ka Kwan Lau raised to 110,000 preflop from the cutoff, and William Kopp defended his big blind.
The flop came 3♠A♦8♦, and action was checked to Lau. He bet 120,000, and Kopp came along.
The 4♦ hit the turn, leading to two checks. The 6♦ arrived on the river, resulting in another check from Kopp. Lau led out for 375,000, which Kopp called. Lau turned over A♣Q♦7♠5♦ for a straight to win the pot.
In a three-way limped pot that led to the A♦K♥J♦10♥ turn, Sebastian Trisch bet 85,000 out of the small blind. Kosei Ichinose called in the big blind and so did Peng Shan. The 2♣ river was checked and Trisch tabled K♦K♠3♣2♦ for a set of kings. Ichinose mucked but Shan won the pot with the A♣A♠8♣2x.
Ioannis Angelou Konstas raised from under the gun to 120,000 finding Orod Ashegh in the big blind who moved all in. Konstas snap-called.
Orod Ashegh: A♣A♥10♦6♣
Ioannis Angelou Konstas: A♠J♦8♠8♦
The board ran out 4♥2♦5♣K♣Q♣. Ashegh's aces turned into the nut flush by the river ensuring him the full double.
Sam Soverel limped in and Kosei Ichinose raised to 180,000 on the button for Soverel to call.
On a flop of Q♥5♥2♣, Soverel check-called for 170,000 and they checked down the 7♥ turn as well as the 5♦ river. Ichinose tabled the winning hand with the K♣Q♠J♥9♥.
Over on table 678, a three-way flop of K♦7♠6♦ saw Bogdan Capitan check and Arthur Morris bet 225,000. Dimitar Danchev called from an early position and Capitan folded.
