Picking up the action partway through the hand, Douglas Gerda in middle position had his opponent in the small blind all in and at risk.
Small Blind Player: A♠Q♦
Douglas Gerda: A♣K♥
Gerda held the dominating hand and only pulled further into the lead on the 6♥K♦3♣ flop. The at-risk player was already exiting his seat as the remainder of the board ran out 7♥7♠ to hand Gerda the pot and knockout.
Action was picked up on the flop with the board reading A♥5♠K♠ and players heads up. Chance Kornuth checked from the small blind and a player in middle position bet 28,000. Kornuth made the call.
The turn was the 3♠. Kornuth checked, his opponent bet 67,000, and Kornuth put in a check-raise to 170,000, receiving a call from his opponent.
Kornuth moved all in, covering his opponent's remaining 260,000 on the 7♣ river. After briefly considering his options, the middle position player made the call.
Kornuth tabled Q♠9♠ for a queen-high flush which was good enough to secure the elimination and collect a sizable pot.
Shota Nakanishi raised to 27,000 with the A♦K♥ and Sebastin Kolman three-bet to 75,000 with the K♠K♦, earning a call from Nakanishi.
Nakanishi checked the Q♦5♣2♠ flop and subsequently called a bet worth 50,000 to see the K♣ on the turn. The Japanese checked again and Kolman fired a second bet worth 125,000 for Nakanishi to call, which led to the 8♣ river.
Nakanishi check-called for another 200,000 and was shown the bad news on the other side ofthe table.
A player opened in early position and Chris Hak called next to act before the small blind did the same.
When the K♦5♦3♣ flop hit the felt, the action checked to Hak, and he dropped a bet of 30,000 across the line. Both the small blind and the early position player made the call.
The 6♣ fell on the turn and once checked to, Hak continued for 100,000. This time only the small blind made the call.
The Q♥ completed the board on the river, and the small blind checked for a final time before Hak splashed a bet of 181,000 into the middle. His opponent only took a couple of seconds before folding and flashing his A♣9♣, missing his flush draw.
Dominik Nitsche raised for Clement Richez to three-bet to 70,000. The four-bet shove by Nitsche for 445,000 followed and it was a coin flip for the tournament life of the German GTO expert.
Dominik Nitsche: J♦J♣
Clement Richez: A♥Q♣
Richez took the lead on the Q♦10♥7♣ flop but Nitsche picked up more outs on the K♥ turn. However, the 5♥ river was a blank and Nitsche was knocked out.
The feature table cameras then switched to another all-in and call on a 9♣5♦5♥ flop on which Donald Crabtree had jammed and was called by Shota Nakanishi.
Shota Nakanishi: Q♣5♣
Donald Crabtree: A♠9♦
Two blanks followed with the 10♦ turn and Q♠ river, sending Crabtree to the payout desk as well.
Action was picked up on the flop with players four-way and the board reading 5♥4♣9♣. A player in the small blind checked, Yuri Dzivielevski checked from the big blind and Daniel Chuprun bet 41,000 from early position, folding out a player in the hijack while receiving calls from both the small blind and Dzivielevski.
The turn was the 5♣. The small blind checked, Dzivielevski bet 48,000, Chuprun called and the small blind got out of the way.
Action checked through on the K♦ river. Dzivielevski tabled 9♥8♣ for two pair, nines and fives while Chuprun revealed A♣A♦ for two pair, aces and fives to take down a nice pot.
A player in early position raised to 25,000, the player to their direct left called, as did the cutoff. Bobby Harrison on the button squeezed to 105,000.
In response, the small blind put in a cold four-bet to 250,000. All remaining players folded, except Harrison who put in a five-bet to 600,000.
The small blind went deep into the tank for several minutes before finally finding the fold. Harrison claimed this pot and left his table wondering.
