Picking up the action on a flop of 6♣9♦6♠, Brian Rast in the hijack bet 175,000 and Alexander Tkatschew in the big blind check-called.
On the 6♥ turn, Tkatschew checked. Rast asked for 325,000, and he was called.
The Q♠ river landed on the felt and after Tkatschew checked again, Rast checked back with A♥10♦. Tkatschew had 9♣8♣ for a full house and scooped the pot.
Fabiano Kovalski raised to 160,000 and Xuejun Huang three-bet to 450,000 on the button for Kovalski to come along. The Q♦8♠5♣ flop was checked by Kovalski, who then called a bet of 350,000 by Huang.
They checked down the 3♣ on the turn and Kovalski bet the 5♦ river for 325,000 to force a fold.
Laurent Manderlier opened to 325,000 from early position, but Julio Trimmer in the small blind three-bet all-in for 2,420,000. Kristen Foxen in the big blind folded, and Manderlier called, finding himself at risk for 530,000.
Laurent Manderlier: Q♥J♦ 
Julio Trimmer: A♥Q♣
Trimmer flopped top pair on A♦10♦9♠7♦5♠ and sent Manderlier to the rail.
Francesc Davila was all in for his last 1,300,000 from the small blind and up against Sean Marshall on the button.
Francesc Davila: A♦Q♠
Sean Marshall: A♠K♦
Davila was dominated heading to the flop, which came J♣4♦7♥. Marshall remained in the lead on the 6♥ turn, while the 10♠ fell on the river to send Davila to the rail.
On a flop of A♥A♠7♣, Robert Tryon in the big blind and Bruno Porto in the hijack checked to Alexander Tkatschew who bet 150,000.
Tryon then check-raised all-in for 755,000. He was called by Porto, while Tkatschew folded 9♥8♥.
Robert Tryon: A♦5♠
Bruno Porto: A♣K♣
Both players flopped trips, but Porto had a better kicker and the situation remained unchanged on the J♣ turn and 6♦ river so Tryon was eliminated.
Bruno Porto opened to 160,000 from middle position, then David Collins to his left three-bet to 460,000. Richard Lowe in the big blind folded 9♦9♣ before Porto four-bet all-in. Collins snap-called, finding himself at risk for 4,210,000.
David Collins: K♠K♦
Bruno Porto: A♠K♥
The dealer fanned a board of 7♦3♥3♠Q♦Q♥ and Collins secured a double up.
Ciaran McCullagh defended against a raise by Jason Sagle and then checked the 10♣5♣2♥ flop. Sagle bet 200,000 but folded when he faced a check-raise to 600,000.
Sagle opened to 160,000 in the next hand and McCullagh called from the small blind. They checked the K♠10♦4♥ flop before McCullagh check-folded the Q♥ turn to a bet worth 225,000.
With around 350,000 chips in the pot on a flop of 9♣6♦9♦, Yong Han checked it over to Mauro Juarez, who bet 140,000. Han then check-raised to 350,000, and Juarez called.
A 10♣ came on the turn and Han fired another bet of 425,000, which Juarez called.
When the 5♦ landed on the river, Han thought for a long time before he checked, and Juarez quickly checked back.
Han tabled A♥K♦ for ace-high, but Juarez's 8♠8♣ earned him the pot.
It's been a great start for Juarez who has more than double the amount of chips that he started the day with.
