The full board was out and read J♠5♠4♠Q♣Q♥ and Aaron Massey from the small blind had checked it over to Victoria Livschitz in the big blind, who shoved all in for around 110,000 into the pot of 125,000. Massey immediately called.
Livschitz tabled 10♣3♠ for just ten-high, but Massey had the winner after he flopped a flush holding Q♠7♠.
Girish Apte opened the action from the button to 8,000 and the small blind folded. Cary Katz raised to 29,000 from the big blind and Apte decided on a quick call.
The flop fell 9♠Q♦3♦ and Katz checked to Apte who bet for 65,000. Katz quickly raised to 175,000, covering his opponent, and Apte called.
Girish Apte: K♣J♣
Cary Katz: Q♠Q♣
The turn 2♣ and river A♠ did not improve Apte's gutshot, so Katz won with his flopped set.
Three players were on the flop with it reading A♥A♣4♦. Daniyal Gheba bet 9,000 from the button. The small blind folded and Punnat Punsri called under the gun.
The turn was the 8♦ which both players checked. The river came the 7♥.
Punsri led out for 42,000. Gheba took his time with the decision, as he tanked for close to a minute before he called and tabled the A♦Q♣ which was the winner against the Jx10x of Punsri.
A player in early position limped for 4,000, but quickly faced aggression from Julien Sitbon, who raised to 9,000. Action folded around and the player called.
The dealer fanned 5♣J♥4♦ on the flop, which produced fireworks.
The player in early position checked and Sitbon bet 8,000, which produced a check-raise of 16,000 from Sitbon’s opponent.
Sitbon leaned forward and asked his opponent how much he had left. The player didn’t reply, but moved his hands aside to give Sitbon a view of the stack.
Sitbon, who had his opponent covered, then came back over the top with a 21,000 re-raise.
The player counted his remaining chip and placed them in a single stack. He glanced at the board for a few moments before eventually folding.
[Removed:513] bet 20,000 on a flop of Q♠K♣7♦ and Robert Burlacu called.
The turn was a 3♥ which saw Lu fire another bet of 31,000, which Burlacu called again.
When the 4♦ fell on the river, Lu checked it over to his opponent, and Burlacu slid forward a bet of 160,000, leaving himself just 17,000 chips behind.
"Why do I put you on jack-ten?" remarked Lu during his four-minute tank.
Eventually, Lu shoved all in for 178,000, and Burlacu called.
Burlacu tabled K♦J♣ for top pair which was the winner as Lu showed he had made a light call down with A♦4♠ for a rivered pair of fours.
