Players were already heads-up with the cards face up.
Opponent: 9♠9♦
Matthew Lerner: K♠9♣
Lerner was looking to improve to knock out his opponent but the 6♥10♦5♣ flop kept his opponent ahead.
Lerner hit a king K♣ on the turn to take him into the lead, and the 7♣ river sealed him the pot.
Level: 34
Blinds: 250,000/500,000
Ante: 500,000
Roberto Antelo moved all in for his remaining 4,500,000 and action folded around the table to the big blind, where the player immediately called to put Antelo at risk.
Roberto Antelo: K♣Q♠
Opponent: A♠K♠
The dealer placed 3♥3♣9♣ on the board, leaving Antelo well behind. But the Q♣ on the turn gave Antelo the lead, which he didn’t relinquish after the 4♥ hit the river.
Jose Balasar Acosta was all in from a middle position for around 2,700,000 and got called from the hijack.
Jose Balasar Acosta: Q♦9♦
Hijack: A♥Q♥
The 2♣9♠4♥ flop gave Acosta a pair of nines, and this was good enough to secure him the double as the 8♥ turn and 3♣ river didn't change the outcome.
Vic Peppe moved all in out of late position for his remaining 2,150,000 and a player two to his left three-bet all in, a move that covered Peppe.
The rest of the players folded, and the cards were tabled.
Vic Peppe: A♥Q♣
Opponent: A♦K♠
“I’m due a queen,” Peppe said as he stood up.
The dealer fanned 3♦8♠3♠ on the flop, leaving Peppe behind. The 7♠ on the turn didn’t help.
But like Peppe desired, the Q♦ showed up on the turn to give him the win and double up.
“Didn’t I call it?” Peppe turned and asked PokerNews.
Indeed you did, Sir.
Panagiotis Mavritsakis who had previously cracked the aces of Aliosha Staes and was facing a raise all in of 850,000 from him from under the gun this time, made the call from the big blind.
Aliosha Staes: K♠9♣
Panagiotis Mavritsakis: Q♦Q♠
Staes still had hope with one overcard but the board ran out with 7♦8♠6♥4♣3♣ and the queens prevailed for Mavritsakis.
Staes stated regarding the previous hand that it was the first time his pocket aces had been cracked in the series.

Jason Wester raised from under the gun to 600,000 and the early position player three-bet all in for 2,400,000 and the button four-bet all in for 2,700,000 and Wester thought carefully and in the end made the call.
Early position: Q♥Q♣
Button: K♣K♠
Jason Wester A♥9♥
The board ran out as 4♠7♥A♦5♠10♦ and the pair of aces for Wester crushed the pocket pairs of the other two players.
