The action was caught on a turn of 2♦J♠8♥4♥, where Manh Nguyen's stack of 100,500 flew in with a pot already amounting to 80,000 chips. Mark Ioli had looked him up with the covering stack and the cards were tabled.
Manh Nguyen: K♦J♦J♣10♣
Mark Ioli: A♥A♣Q♣3♠
Nguyen had to fade an ace or five to double up, and he did so when the river paired the board with the 4♦ to give him a full house as he ended up with nearly five starting stacks after registering late.

Soheb Porbandarwala opened to 18,000 from the cutoff and received calls from Richard Hu on the button as well as Kazuhiko Yotsushika in the big blind.
Yotsushika checked following the 8♦4♦2♠ flop and Porbandarwala continued for 17,000. Hu then moved all in to force Yotsushika out of the hand. Porbandarwala took a little more time but eventually tossed his hand away to concede the pot to Hu.

The cards were on their backs with the flop showing 10♥7♣3♥ and Nikita Kuznetsov was all-in with a short stack against Krzysztof Magott.
Nikita Kuznetsov: A♦A♠Q♥5♥
Krzysztof Magott: A♣6♣5♠4♥
Magott had plenty of outs to crack the aces of Kuznetsov, but they held on a J♠ turn and 7♠ river runout.
"Cashback for you," Magott joked.
