Arthur Souza De Campos opened 55,000 in early position and Ivan Ruban three-bet 150,000 before David Levy jammed for 700,000 in the big blind.
De Campos folded quickly, and Ruban took a few seconds before doing the same.
Dirk Perdrix moved all in for approximately 450,000 from early position and was called by Christopher Vitch from the big blind who had a covering stack.
Dirk Perdrix: A♠Q♦
Christopher Vitch: A♦A♥
Perdrix was drawing dead by the turn when the board ran out 2♦2♥8♠7♥4♥ and Vitch collected a nice pot while sending his opponent to the rail.
Arthur Souza De Campos was in the hijack in a heads-up pot against Ivan Ruban in the big blind on a board of 3♦2♠A♦6♥9♥.
With over 800,000 already in the middle, Ruban bet 475,000 on the river to put De Campos in the tank. De Campos eventually called and mucked as Ruban turned over A♠6♠ for aces up.
Koveh Waysei bet 50,000 from the cutoff on a flop of 7♣2♥10♦ before Nicholas Gerrity, in the big blind, raised to 165,000. Waysei called to the J♦ turn.
Gerrity then continued betting, this time for 275,000, and Waysei called once again. The river came the 8♥ and Gerrity fired out 335,000.
Waysei spent a few minutes in the tank counting out his stack and rechecking his cards before folding. "If you shoved, I don't know what I would've done," Gerrity told him, showing J♠8♠ for running two pair as he took the pot.
"So lucky. You have no idea," Waysei added.
"That's what we're all trying to do here, get lucky," Gerrity replied.
Thomas Zanot opened to 60,000 from the cutoff before Hang Xu moved all in for around 550,000 from the small blind. Chris Brewer, who was narrowly covered by Xu, called for his tournament life from the big blind before Zanot folded.
Chris Brewer: J♦J♣
Hang Xu: AxK♦
Xu paired up on the K♥10♠9♣ flop to take the lead and held out to seal the pot and bust out following the 2♦ turn and 5♦ river.
Nick Marchington opened to 50,000 in the hijack and Alexander Villa called from the small blind. The flop came 10♣7♠2♥ and Villa check-called a bet from Marchington.
The 2♦ paired the board on the turn and Villa led out with a bet of 50,000. Marchington raised to 200,000 and Villa stuck around for the 9♦ on the river. Villa checked this time and Marchington jammed all in, putting Villa to the test for his remaining 935,000. Villa gave it some thought before making the call and the cards were tabled which shocked the table.
Marchington rolled over K♦6♦ for complete air while Villa showed 5♠5♣ for the lone pair to earn a double up.
"What the f*** am I watching?" Maurice Hawkins exclaimed as he stood up from his chair. "I've got the popcorn ready!"
Christopher Ahrens opened to 50,000 from under the gun and Bryan Obregon called from two seats over. Aditya Systla three-bet to 180,000 thereafter and Ahrends then jammed for 645,000 total. Obregon folded and Systla called.
Christopher Ahrens: A♣K♣
Aditya Systla: A♠Q♣
The board ran out 10♣9♦6♥8♥3♣ and that secured the double for Ahrends.
"I had ace queen, too," Obregon mentioned in table chat.
Eric Schneider opened for 60,000 from middle position before Daniel Scroggins three-bet all in for 685,000 from the small blind. The big blind folded and Schneider asked for a count.
Once he received the exact number, he made the call as covering stack and the cards went on their backs.
Daniel Scroggins: A♥K♦
Eric Schneider: K♣Q♣
Shneider let out a big sigh and the J♦3♣A♠Q♦8♠ runout would not improve his mood. His pair of queens was inferior to Scroggins' pair of aces, and the players now played roughly the same stack.
Yu Tang opened to 55,000 from middle position. The hijack agonized briefly before placing his cards into the muck. Action folded around to Jon Kyte in the big blind, who called.
Kyte check-raised to 210,000 after Tang bet 75,000 on the Q♠9♣7♥ flop. The latter quickly folded and the next hand began.
David Sebesfi and Thupten Thondup were heads-up on a 10♠4♥Q♥ flop when Sebesfi, in the cutoff, bet 55,000 and Thondup called out of the big blind.
The turn came the 3♠ and Thondup checked over to Sebesfi, who fired out another 180,000. Thondup again called as the K♦ fell on the river.
Sebesfi then slid forward a stack of purple 100,000 chips, putting Thondup all in. Thondup, with around 350,000 remaining, tanked for about a minute before mucking.
"Show the bluff," a tablemate said to Sebesfi as he took the pot.
"No bluff," Sebesfi replied.
