John Riordan in middle position found himself at risk for 725,000 against Yevgeniy Minakrin in the cutoff.
John Riordan: A♣K♣
Yevgeniy Minakrin: K♠K♦
Riordan hit an ace directly on the flop on A♦5♦6♠J♠7♣, securing a big double up.
Action folded around to John Riordan in the small blind, who raised to 55,000. Guofeng Wang defended in the big blind and the duo saw a flop of J♣4♥3♦.
Riordan continued with a bet of 55,000 and Wang called.
The turn brought the 8♥, and Riordan put out a bet of 200,000, enough to put Wang all-in, who had about 175,000 behind.
After some thought, Wang eventually tossed his cards into the muck.
Jeffrey Blend was all in for his last 10,000 from under the gun, and Renli Liu raised to 50,000 on the button. James Pilpa then three-bet to 145,000 from the big blind, and Liu folded.
Jeffrey Blend: A♠K♦
James Pilpa: K♥9♥
Blend was looking to spin up his stack but never got past the first step as the 5♣7♣8♠6♥2♣ runout gave Pilpa a straight.
James Dempsey shoved for a little under 300,000 from middle position and David Jackson reshove for over 1,000,000 from the cutoff. Mukul Pahuja snap-called from the big blind and covered both opponents.
James Dempsey: J♥10♥
David Jackson: 8♠8♣
Mukul Pahuja: Q♥Q♦
A dream spot for Pahuja who was on the brink of a 3,000,000-chip stack if his hand could hold up.
The runout of K♠4♣9♠A♣J♣ did keep the pocket queens of Pahuja in the lead and he eliminated both Dempsey & Jackson in the same hand.
Action folded around to Xiaotong Yu in the small blind, who shoved all-in for his last 160,000 or so. Nicolas Vayssieres, who had Yu covered, made the call from the big blind.
Xiaotong Yu: 10♣8♦
Nicolas Vayssieres: 8♣8♠
The board ran out 3♣J♠8♥Q♣10♠, and Vayssieres' trips sent Yu to the rail.
Level: 22
Blinds: 10,000/25,000

A board of 6♦4♠Q♠5♥2♠ was on the table and with a pile of chips in the pot, Christopher Collier had bet 250,000 on the river. Ebony Kenney was the player with the decision and she thought it about it for a long time before she eventually made the call.
Collier tabled 9♥9♣ but Kenney had the winner after she flipped over J♣J♦.
"I almost made you fold," remarked Collier.
"Almost, but don't put me through that again," joked Kenney in her response.
