Sebastian Malec raised from early position to 60,000 and when it folded to Kavin Shah in the big blind, he made the call.
When the flop came Q♣8♥6♣, Shah check-called the 125,000 bet from Malec.
The turn was the 9♥ and after Shah checked, Malec bet 310,000. After sitting in the tank for over a minute, Shah folded to give Malec the pot.
After a limp by Jed Friedman on the button, Michael Berk moved all in from the big blind, sending Friedman into the tank. After over a minute, Friedman made the call, putting his tournament life at risk.
Jed Friedman: K♣10♠
Michael Berk: A♣7♥
Berk was ahead with his ace-high, but the flop of 9♣K♠2♥ immediately pulled Friedman into the lead with his king and the runout of 9♥4♠ changed nothing to win him the double.
Jeremiah Wheeler was under the gun and raised to 60,000, Yunkyu Song was in early position and called. Jared Kingery had other ideas and three-bet for the squeeze play to 225,000. Wheeler wasn't giving up and four-bet all in for 875,000. Song thought for some time and made the fold and Kingery called.
Jeremiah Wheeler: A♠Q♦
Jared Kingery: K♥K♦
The board ran out with 9♥3♣5♥J♦Q♥ and Kingery dodged a bullet and added to his massive stack.
The action was caught as Ludovic Uzan, in the small blind, was all in and at risk for his effective stack of 360,000, against Rafael Reis, in the cutoff.
Ludovic Uzan: A♦10♥
Rafael Reis: A♣K♦
The board ran out 2♦A♥3♠9♠Q♥; Uzan's inferior holding couldn't improve against Reis, and he was sent to the rail.
Action was picked up on the turn with 320,000 in the pot on a board showing A♦8♦10♠J♣.
Chris Moorman was facing a bet of 130,000 from Phillip Wiszowaty in early position. He elected to make the call and see a river.
The river was the 6♠ and after Moorman checked, Wiszowaty bet 505,000 to put Moorman all in. Moorman wasted no time and pushed in his chips to call.
Wiszowaty tabled K♣Q♠ for the Broadway straight. Moorman chucked his cards in the air to show A♠J♦ for top two pair, as he was leaving the table.
The pot stood at approximately 250,000 with two players looking at a board of J♣A♣J♦8♥.
Both players checked to reveal the Q♣ river. Dillon Najor, in the big blind, led out for 85,000 and was met by a quick call from Gabriel Nastasa, in the hijack. Najor tabled J♠3♠ for flopped trips, winning him this hand.
Action folded to Juan Carlos Vecino in the hijack and he raised to 60,000. When it folded to the big blind, he three-bet all in for 505,000. Carlos Vecino made the call to put the big blind at risk.
Big Blind: A♦J♦
Juan Carlos Vecino: A♥A♣
The big blind was way behind the aces of Carlos Vecino and when the board ran out 6♦3♥8♥3♠9♦ the big blind was knocked out of the tournament.
Yita Choong moved all in preflop and was called by the chip leader Juan Carlos Vecino to his left.
Yita Choong: K♠Q♠
Juan Carlos Vecino: K♦10♦
Choong was in a great spot with his dominating king, and the runout of 5♥J♦2♠Q♥4♠ stored him the double with his pair of queens.
Chris Moorman raised from the cutoff and Ludovic Uzan defended in the big blind.
Both players checked to the river as the full board now read 9♦3♣6♥K♠5♦. Uzan bet out for 120,000 and Moorman went into the tank.
Pained by his decision, Moorman eventually tossed his cards into the muck.
