Daniel Swartz opened 50,000 from middle position and John Richards three-bet 166,000 in the small blind. Swartz made the call.
The dealer spread a flop of 10♠8♠3♣ and Richards flung a bet across the line.
"I felt like he was going to bet 125,000. Is that 125,000?" Swartz asked the dealer.
It indeed was, and Swartz made the call.
The 8♣ turn and J♥ river were checked down and Swartz announced 'eight' as he tabled A♥9♠8♥5♠. Richards mucked his hand.

James Chen was seen jamming his last 110,000 on the 9♣5♣2♣ and Chino Rheem tank-called.
James Chen (US): A♦J♣8♣4♦ 
Chino Rheem: Q♠Q♣6♣5♠
Both players flopped a flush but Rheem had the best hand with the queen-high flush. The J♠ turn and 4♥ river were no help for Chen as he left the table.
George Abdallah yelled at Rheem, "I've never seen someone tank so long with the second nuts."
Rheem replied, "Well I had to give him credit, I thought he had it. He just won a bracelet!"

Steve Zolotow opened 60,000 in the hijack and both Jarryd Godena, and Andreas Zampas called in the blinds.
When the Q♣10♠2♣ flop hit the felt, Godena check-folded to a bet of 140,000 from Zoltow while Zampas check-called.
The 7♦ fell on the turn, and Zampas checked once again before Zolotow fired 480,000. Zampas thought about it for about a minute while the table talked about what a legend Zolotow was, being on one of the first ever Poker After Dark episodes.
After some time passed, Zampas mucked his hand. Zolotow let him know it was a good fold tabling A♣10♣10♥ for top set and the nut flush draw.

Grzegorz Derkowski had made it 205,000 to go when Parry re-raised him to 570,000, which left him around 150,000 behind.
After some inner debate, Derkowski moved all in to cover and Parry quickly called to put himself at risk.
Matthew Parry: A♦A♣Q♥6♣
Grzegorz Derkowski: K♣K♥5♣3♥
Parry was in good shape with his superior pocket pair, and the runout of 7♠3♦J♠4♣8♦ kept it that way to score him the big double.
