Two players created a pot of about 160,000 to see the 8♦7♠7♥ flop, and Georgios Sotiropoulos checked from the big blind and called a bet of 55,000 from Hai Nguyen in the hijack.
Both players checked the 8♥ turn to see the K♣ river. Sotiropoulos led for 140,000 and Nguyen tank-called.
Sotiropoulos rolled K♠9♠ for two pair and Nguyen mucked his hand.

Chance Kornuth raised to 50,000 from the hijack. Shaun Deeb three-bet out of the big blind to 175,000 and Kormuth shoved to put Deeb all-in. Deeb made the call for his remaining 480,000 and the cards were revealed.
Shaun Deeb: Q♠Q♥
Chance Kornuth: 2♥2♦
The runout of 6♠8♣9♣A♦10♠ didn't improve Kornuth's pocket twos, and he had to send half of his chips over to Deeb.
Vlad Darie limped the small blind and Filipp Khavin raised to 80,000 from the big blind. Darie responded with a limp-jam for 510,000 and Khavin called as the slightly covering stack.
Vlad Darie: K♣Q♠
Filipp Khavin: A♠J♠
Khavin stayed ahead on the J♣10♥3♣ flop. However, the Q♦ on the turn put Darie into the lead.
Unfortunately for Darie, a repeat J♥ fell on the river which gave Khavin trips and sent Darie to the payout desk.
