In a blind-on-blind confrontation, Philip Sternheimer got all of his 460,000 chips into the middle with Jonathan Jaffe looking to eliminate him.
Philip Sternheimer: A♣10♣
Jonathan Jaffe: K♥Q♦
Jaffe picked up an open-ended straight draw on the turn but Sternheimer help on to get the double-up as the board ran out 7♠5♦J♣10♠7♦.
Morten Klein opened to 60,000 from the hijack and Mikita Badziakouski defended his big blind.
Both players checked on the 6♥6♦10♣ flop and then Badziakouski led out for 80,000 on the 2♠ turn. Klein called.
The K♥ filled the river and Badziakouski bet 100,000, which was met with a quick shove for 195,000 from Klein.
“What a disaster,” Badziakouski said as he contemplated his decision.
“Didn’t you go all in?” Klein said.
“That’s even worse!” Badziakouski replied.
Badziakouski eventually put in a call and Klein turned over 10♠10♥ for a flopped full house. Badziakouski held K♦5♦ for two pair and Klein doubled up.
Aleksejs Ponakovs opened from early position to 40,000 and Brandon Wilson three-bet to 125,000 from middle position. When the action folded back to Ponakovs, he made the call.
A flop of 3♣J♥6♦ saw Ponakovs check-call a bet of 120,000 from Wilson.
The 9♥ turn and K♦ river were checked to showdown. Ponakovs tabled A♥Q♣ but Wilson had the winner with J♣10♣ for a flopped pair of jacks.
Action picked up on the flop with 120,000 in the pot in a hand between Ben Heath, in the small blind, and Lander Lijo, on the button.
With the board reading 9♠3♣K♦, Heath check-raised to 75,000 over Lijo's bet of 30,000. Lijo called.
On the J♥ turn, Heath moved all in for about 150,000 and Lijo folded.
Brian Rast shoved for his last 210,000 from under the gun and was called by Sergio Aido in the hijack to be put at risk.
Brian Rast: 9♣8♣
Sergio Aido: A♣K♠
The 7♣Q♣4♣ flop gave Rast a flush, but Aido was still live with his ace of clubs.
The 6♥ turn changed nothing, but the 2♣ river improved Aido to the nut flush to eliminate Rast.
The cards were already on their backs and a full board of Q♥6♠K♥4♦A♥ was showing with both Dan Sepiol & Sean Winter having committed their stacks during the hand.
Sepiol had A♠K♠ for top two pair but Winter had the ultimate nuts with J♥10♥ for a Royal Flush.
Martin Kabrhel limped from under the gun and Masashi Oya raised to 75,000 on the button. Action folded back to Kabrhel, who called.
Kabrhel check-called a 50,000 bet from Oya on the 3♦J♦8♦ flop and then both players checked down on the 4♠ turn and 5♦ river.
Kabrhel tabled J♣10♣ for a pair of jacks and Oya sent his hand into the muck.
[Removed:554] raised to 40,000 in middle position and Stephen Song called from the small blind, as did the player in the big blind.

The A♥ turn went check-check, and on the 5♦ river, Song led out with a bet of 220,000. After a moment of thought, [Removed:555] arrived at a fold.
