All of the chips went in the middle on the K♠5♠3♥ flop, and Rob Wazwaz had his opponent at risk for about 7,000.
Opponent: J♥10♥
Rob Wazwaz: K♣10♣
Wazwaz had his opponent dominated with the king-kicker and his opponent jumped out of his chair in disappointment as the cards were shown.
The 8♥ turn gave some life though, as the opponent picked up a flush draw, but the 2♦ river was no help and Wazwaz dragged the pot.

On the first hand the player in the cutoff, Aram Mkhitaryan raised to 1,000 and the button and both blinds made the call. The flop came out 4♦9♥2♥ and Mkhitaryan bet out 1,000 and the player on the button shoved all in for his last 16,000. Mkhitaryan made the call.
Button: K♥10♠
Aram Mkhitaryan: K♦Q♦
Both players had nada and that did not change on the turn 3♣ or the river 5♦ but Mkhitaryan's kicker came into play.
Mkhitaryan said, "You are going to post that hand? Well hopefully I make it to the final table."
The very next hand Mkhitaryan was on the button when the player in the hijack raised to 4,000. Mkhitaryan three-bet to 12,000 and the hijack four-bet to effective 72,000 all in. Mkhitaryan made the call and this time he was at risk.
Aram Mkhitaryan: J♠J♦
Player in hijack: K♥10♠
The board came with 2♥8♥2♠2♦3♠ and Mhitaryan had a full house and the hijack had a very low stack.
Level 7
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
A player in early position raised to 2,100, the player to their direct left three-bet to 7,600 and Arnold Spee four-bet from the button to 17,200. Only the middle-positioned player called.
On a flop of 6♥9♦2♦, the action checked to Spee who shoved all in, forcing his opponent to fold.
The hijack tossed their cards into the muck face up, showing the table A♦K♠. Spee in return showed A♠7♠ as he raked in the pot.
