From the cutoff, Flavien Guenan opened to 1,100. He was raised to 3,500 by Brandon Sheils on the button.
Guenan looked at his opponent's stack and saw that he had a total of 20,100 chips. To force him to go all in, Guenan raised for more than his neighbor's stack and got called.
Brandon Sheils: A♠A♦
Flavien Guenan: A♣Q♠
Bad timing for Guenan, who ran into the best possible hand. The board K♦5♥7♦Q♥9♦ did not change the situation, and the Frenchman is back to the starting stack.

There was an open in early position to 1,000. It was called by Kevin Abecassis in middle position and by Andreas Pütz in the small blind.
All three players checked on the flop 6♣8♣K♣. Then Pütz bet 400 on the turn, which was the 2♥. The player in early position raised to 2,500, and Abecassis folded. However, Puetz was not done and he reraised all in to 8,200. His opponent thought for a few seconds and seemed to have no choice but to call.
Andreas Pütz: 10♣9♣
Opponent: K♥J♣
Pütz just had to avoid a club, other than the 7♣, to double up. The J♠ landed on the river, and secured his win.

Michael Gonzalez raised to 800 in early position and Jeff Platt three-bet to 1,800 on the button. The big blind player four-bet to 2,800 and Gonzalez didn't take long to five-bet to 8,800. Platt announced all in, covering his two opponents and the big blind let it go.
Gonzalez snap-called for a total stack worth 20,800 to create the following showdown:
Michael Gonzalez: A♥A♦
Jeff Platt: A♠K♠
"Oh that's it?" Platt said jokingly to Gonzalez, before the dealer showed a board 8♦3♣2♦Q♥4♦, giving the double up to Gonzalez.

At WSOP Main Event Champion Damian Salas' table, a player in early position raised to 1,000. Seated on his left, Oscar Carrasco raised to 3,000. The button moved all in for 14,100 chips. The blinds folded, as well as the initial raiser. Carrasco eventually called.
Button: 7♠7♥
Oscar Carrasco: A♠A♦
"You have the spades anyway," said the player at risk on 2♠J♠10♠. He stood up at this point. Even if the turn 10♦ and the river 6♣ didn't complete the flush, Carrasco's aces stayed ahead, leading to his opponent's elimination.
