On a heads-up turn of 5♦2♣A♣7♦ there was a mound of around 280,000 in the middle when Tolga Demirel moved all in for 105,000.
The action was then on Martin Kabrhel, who had less, and he was deep in the tank. A player eventually called clock on him and he was given a 30-second countdown.
"Ok, you got it," Kabrhel said as his timer reached zero and he tossed in his hand.
"Open, open your hand please," Kabrhel insisted, but Demirel did not oblige and slid his cards to the dealer while the large pot was pushed his way.
"Did you have straight? I had a set." Kabrhel admitted, but still received no information from Demirel.
On a heads-up completed board of 9♣3♦5♣3♣4♦, there was around 65,000 in the pot when Chino Rheem led for 50,000, covering his opponent, Kris Burchfield.
"You know at least what one of my cards are," Rheem stated, "that much is obvious, but what are the other ones? I think you have six, seven, eight and you hit your straight."
"I wish I had six, seven, eight," Burchfield replied, "Ugh, this would have been so much smoother if you checked and I jammed and just lost, but now I don't know what to do. I'm befuddled."
Burchfield tanked for around another minute before he sighed and announced a fold. He then tabled A♦2♦7♣10x for a wheel straight.
"You had a wheel? Yeah that was good," Chino replied and showed A♣Q♠10♦3♠ for just trip threes.
"Yeah, I really wanted to pull the trigger on that one, nice hand," Burchfield told Rheem as he watched the pot slide across the table.
Action was caught after the turn came the 2♦K♣4♣Q♦ and Richard Gryko checked from the big blind. The middle position fired for 24,500. Both the cutoff and Gryko made the call.
The river was the 4♥ and all three players checked their action.
Gryko revealed K♦9♦6♠3♣ and bested his opponents A♣10♣XxXx and K♥2♠XxXx to take the pot.
Daniel Merrilees raised to 7,000 from the cutoff and Yuri Dzivielevski defended his big blind.
The flop came Q♠Q♦4♥ and Dzivielevski checked from the big blind. Merrilees fired for 6,000 and was called.
While the 2♥ peeled off on the turn, Dzivielevski again checked to Merrilees. He continued for 10,000 and received a call from Dzivielevski.
Action checked around as the 2♠ peeled off on the river. Merrilees revealed A♦A♠6♦4♠ to best Dzivielevski's 10♠10♦XxXx.
