Joseph Cheong opened 160,000 in early position and called a three-bet of 425,000 from Michael Rocco in the cutoff.
When the 9♣6♥3♥ flop hit the felt, Cheong check-called 350,000.
The 9♦ paired the board on the turn and Cheong checked once again. Rocco announced a bet of 525,000 as he slid it across the line. Cheong went into the tank, using a couple of time banks before mucking his hand.

The final 27 players are on a 15-minute break.
Michael Macchia opened 120,000 in middle position and Nacho Barbero called in the small blind before Christoph Vogelsang defended the big blind.
When the J♦5♥4♣ flop hit the felt, Vogelsang checked and Macchia continued for 150,000. Barbero called and Vogelsang check-raised to 525,000. That was enough to earn the pot as both players mucked their hands.
Paulius Vaitiekunas opened to 125,000 from the button and Eric Wasserson shoved from the small blind for 360,000. Vaitiekunas called with a covering stack to put Wasserson at risk.
Eric Wasserson: A♦K♦ 
Paulius Vaitiekunas: A♣A♥
Both players had monster hands but Wasserson was on the wrong side of the cooler with ace-king versus the aces of Vaitiekunas. Wasserson found no help on the 3♥J♥10♣8♣9♣ runout and was sent to the rail on the stone bubble while Vaitiekunas took the pot.
Brek Schutten bet 60,000 from the big blind on the 2♣6♠10♣6♥ board and [Removed:554] called from under the gun.
The river came the 4♦ and Schutten bet 155,000. [Removed:555] called and was shown 7♣5♥ for just seven-high by Schutten. [Removed:555] turned over Q♣9♣, meaning he called and won the pot with just queen-high.
Matthias Eibinger opened 510,000 under the gun and Brynjar Gigja called on the button.
The dealer spread a flop of 9♥4♣4♠, and Eibinger checked to Gigja as he dropped a bet of 60,000 across the line. Eibinger had exactly 60,000 remaining and looked around at the other tables before making the call.
Matthias Eibinger: A♥K♥
Brynjar Gigja: 8♠8♣
Eibinger couldn't connect as the board completed with the Q♠ on the turn and the 4♥ on the river.
Joseph Cheong raised to 120,000 from the cutoff and Brynjar Gigja defended from the big blind.

Gigja bet 500,000 on the Q♣ turn, which forced a fold from Cheong.
