In a heads-up raised pot, the flop read 8♦3♥3♦ when Paul Tedeschi tanked and check-called from the big blind a bet worth 125,000 from Peyton Ethridge.
The turn fell the 10♥ and the two players checked to see a 2♦ on the river. Tedeschi checked one last time, followed by Ethridge who showed 8♥8♦ for a full house. Tedeschi sent A♥4♦ into the muck.
Benny Chen raised to 125,000 from the late position, while Andreas Kniep three bet to 330,000 from the cutoff. Chen made the call to the flop.
The flop came 8♦4♠2♣, and Chen made a quick check to Kniep. He led out for 250,000, while Chen found a call.
When the A♣ peeled off on the turn, Chen once again checked. Kniep fired for 500,000 and was again called.
The river was the 9♦, as Chen checked to Kniep. He spared no time and jammed all in for 4,700,000. After some consideration, Chen folded, and Kniep showed J♥10♥ to take the pot.
Myles Mullaly raised in the cutoff to 120,000 and Nick Cipiti three-bet to 280,000 and Mullaly flatted.
The flop came out 5♥J♣9♣ and Mullaly checked and Cipiti bet 175,000. Mullaly called.
The A♠ on the turn had both players check.
The river was the 3♣ and Mullaly checked and Cipiti bet out 500,000. Mullaly went into the think tank for awhile and eyed up Cipiti. Some of the players discussed calling the clock but then Mullaly folded.
One of the players asked Cipiti to show his cards for fun and Cipiti threw his cards up across the table which were A♥A♦.

Stausholm won the flip thanks to a board of 6♣A♣K♠4♣4♦ and took down the pot to double up after pairing his ace.
