The board read 9♦K♦J♥4♥10♠ on the river. Benjamin Pollak was facing a bet of 20,000 from his opponent. After about two minutes he decided to make the call.
His opponent tabled 7♠3♠ for zilch and Pollah showed the winning ace-high with the A♣8♥.
Josip Vidovic looked up Adam Arslan, who was all in for 120,000, with the covering stack.
Adam Arslan: K♠Q♦[allin[
Josip Vidovic: A♠A♣
The 7♠6♣7♦3♥5♦ board brought no surprises, sending Arslan home.
Action folded around to James Tsou in the small blind who moved all in for 65,000 effective. Phil Laak called the all in with his tournament life on the line.
Phil Laak: 3♥3♦ 
James Tsou: A♣2♣
Needing to fade an Ace, Laak did after the dealer put out 2♥4♣3♠7♠J♦ earning him the pot and newfound chips.
Picking up the action partway through the hand, Adam Cook in the small blind was all in and at risk against Nazar Buhaiov in the cutoff.
Adam Cook: KxKx
Nazar Buhaiov: A♣A♦
Cook had run right into pocket rockets to leave himself drawing thin. The J♣7♦6♣ flop kept the aces best with nothing changing on either the 10♠ turn or J♥ river to send Cook out in cruel fashion while handing a boost to Buhaiov's stack.

Cates also talked about his iconic Poker Players Championship outfits and a six-figure downswing he experienced at Bellagio during the summer.
This interview was filmed at the 2024 World Series of Poker (WSOP) inside Horseshoe and Paris Las Vegas.
Yoshihiro Inoue opened to 8,000 from the cutoff and was three-bet by the button to 33,000. Once the blinds folded, Inoue called.
On the 9♣10♦4♦ flop, Inoue checked, the button bet 27,000, and Inoue shoved for 143,000. After some thinking, the button folded.
Anthony Migliaccio moved all in for 67,000 from the button. Robert Schulz, in the small blind, moved all in himself and the hand went to a showdown.
Anthony Migliaccio: 4♠4♥
Robert Schulz: A♦J♣
Migliaccio was ahead in this flip until the Q♥A♥10♦ flop saw Schulz take the lead. Migliaccio was up and out of his seat on the Q♦ turn. However, the 4♣ river saw the table erupt in surprise as Migliaccio made a full house. Migliaccio retook his seat and received his double-up.
