Diogo Veiga had vanished with Neal Corcoran jumping back to his comfortable bigger stack.
One table over, Francisco Sanchez took advantage of the A♥K♥K♠8♦A♣ river when Randy Gattesco check-folded to his bet and flashed the 8♥8♠. As he collected the pot, Sanchez smirked and then exposed the 7♦7♠ for a successful bluff.
"Wait, what did he have?" Gattesco on the other side of the table asked and when he was told, shot out of the table with a loud "son of a bitch" as a joke, with the entire table bursting out in laughter.
While that hand was played out, Orson Young limped the small blind and called a raise to 140,000 by Jimmy Gorham in the big blind one table over. They checked the J♥6♠3♠ flop and Young led the 5♦ turn for 185,000, Gorham called.
Young also bet the 5♠ river for 425,000 and then tank-folded when Gorham raised it up to 1,400,000.

Steven Ayoub opened to 80,000 from early position and called when Aloisio Dourado three-bet to 250,000 from middle position. Ayoub check-called for 175,000 on the K♦9♠8♦ flop and then check-called Dourado's jam of 850,000 on the 9♣ turn. Ayoub tabled 6♣6♦ but was behind his opponent's A♦K♥, who took in the double up after the K♣ river.
On the next deal, Ayoub put in his last 285,000 from under the gun and Hiroki Nawa called on his direct left. Ayoub turned over A♥6♠ and was dominated by Nawa's A♦Q♥. Ayoub paired up on the 8♥6♥2♥10♠3♠ runout to stay in contention.
Then, in a limped pot between the blinds, Daniel Zadok and Ayoub checked action through to the river for the final board to read 4♦J♠8♦Q♥4♥. Zadok bet 150,000 and Ayoub called. Zadok had trips with 6♥4♠ to take the pot. Ayoub flashed the 8♠ and lamented about letting Zadok get there.
The following hand, Michael Jagroo raised to 300,000 from middle position, leaving 45,000 behind. Ayoub jammed from the small blind as the slightly bigger stack and Jagroo put in the rest of his chips. Ayoub, with QxJx, was flipping against 8♣8♥. Ayoub paired up on the Q♥6♠4♥ flop to take the lead and looked to send Jagroo out after the 5♠ turn. The 8♠ river saw Jagroo improve to a set of eights, leaving Ayoub with 95,000.
Ayoub folded his hand on the next shuffle but the last of it went in when he was in the cutoff. Dourado and Boris Kolev called from the blinds. Dourado led out for 150,000 on the Q♦J♣10♥ flop and then check-called for 305,000 on the 10♣ turn. The 5♦ river then checked through to showdown.
Dourado tabled K♦9♠ for a king-high straight, besting Kolev's Q♠9♦. Ayoub turned over Q♥7♠, and wished the table good luck before he headed to the payout desk.

"You just missed a big one," Oren Haziza said as their table had received a face lift with two new players in Patrick Clarke and Gerardo Hernandez. However, the appearance of Irishman Clarke was short-lived as his pocket aces were cracked by the pocket jacks of big stack Neal Corcoran.
The next hand wasn't as big as Haziza opened to 80,000 from under the gun and Corcoran called, as did Abdullah Al-Shanti in the big blind. Al-Shanti check-folded the 5♥5♣2♠ flop to a bet of 100,000 by Haziza, while Corcoran called.
Haziza led the 5♦ turn for 275,000 and Corcoran folded.
