Phil Ivey opened to 55,000 from the cutoff before Matthew Cosentino moved all in for around 260,000 from the small blind. The 2014 WSOP Main Event winner Martin Jacobson called off his stack of a little more than 100,000 from the big blind. Ivey called to put the two players at risk.
Martin Jacobson: 6♥6♦
Matthew Cosentino: 3♦3♠
Phil Ivey: 10♣10♦
Jacobson made a set on the 6♣5♦2♣ flop, while Cosentino needed a four for a straight. The 6♠ turn locked up the main pot for Jacobson while the 8♥ river awarded Ivey the side pot and the remainder of Cosentino's stack.

Michael Moncek—better known under his moniker "Texas Mike" and frequently seen in the highest cash games—was one of the top stacks in this tournament. The emphasis here is on 'was,' as suddenly, Moncek was seen making his way to the payout desk with David Guay stacking up more than 3 million in chips.
According to Guay, Moncek had opened two seats to his right and Sebastion Toro, seated between them, put in a three-bet. Guay picked up pocket queens and put in a cold four-bet, which brought the action back on Moncek.
"Texas Mike" five-bet shoved all in for around 1,500,000, and Guay called. Moncek had pocket eights and didn't find help against the queens.

Kevin Pawloski: K♦9♦
Vitalijs Zavorotnijs: Ax10x
