A player from under the gun opened to 2,200, a player from the cutoff shoved for around 7,000 and Amin Hosein raised to 27,000. The original raiser got out of the way leaving the cutoff heads up and at risk versus Hosein.
Cutoff: Q♥9♣7♥5♣
Amin Hosein: Q♠Q♣8♥5♥
The board ran out 8♦10♥4♦K♦K♣. Hosein was good at showdown with two pair, kings and queens to eliminate his opponent and take the pot.

Action was caught after the turn of K♦7♠Q♠3♣ and Roussos Koliakoudakis led out for 16,000 from the small blind.
Both the middle position and button made the call.
The river was the 2♦ and Koliakoudakis moved all in for 18,000. Both the opponents made the fold for him to take the pot.

Action was picked up between two players at showdown on a board reading K♥5♥J♠3♣K♠ and about 220,000 in the pot. Martin Zamani was all in for his tournament life and was up against an opponent showing Q♥J♦9♦3♥ for two pair and missed flush and straight draws.
Zamani tabled aces up with A♣A♠8♣2♦ and dragged in a colossal early pot.

On a flop of 8♦6♥A♦, all the chips between Quan Zhou, Taylor Paur, and another player found its way into the middle, with Zhou covering by a mile.
Player 1: A♥Q♠10♣4♥
Taylor Paur: 9♠8♥7♦5♣
Quan Zhou: 8♠8♣2♣2♠
Zhou was in the lead with his flopped set of eights, but he still had to fade the wrap of Paur to stay that way.
Of course, the 5♠ came on the turn to give Paur the straight, but Zhou also picked up a spade draw to make it an even match.
Alas, the 2♦ on the river failed to pair the board or deliver a spade and Paur was pushed the pot with his straight while the other player hit the rail.

Brent Roberts raised to 3,500 from the cutoff. Both the blinds made the call.
The flop came J♣10♠9♣ and both the blinds checked. Roberts continued for 8,000 and received a call from Thi Ngo in the small blind. Joseph Cheong made the fold from the big blind.
While the turn peeled the 7♣, Ngo checked to Roberts. He fired for 12,000 and was rewarded with the pot.
