Vasu Amarapu shoved for 190,000 from under the gun and Sean Yu called from the small blind with a covering stack. Yu stood pat while Amarapu took one.
Vasu Amarapu: 9x8x5x3x
Sean Yu: 7x6x5x3x2x

Ryan Hoenig was all in from the cutoff, committing his stack of 98,000. Thomas Eychenne asked for a count in the big blind before making the call and drawing one card.
Hoenig also drew one card, after which the players showed down.
Ryan Hoenig: Jx7x4x2x
Thomas Eychenne: Jx9x5x2x
Hoenig peeled first and turned over a Qx, which was not enough when Eychenne made a jack-low with a 10x.
Thomas Eychenne opened to 30,000 from the small blind and Huck Seed defended from the big blind. Both players drew one and checked.
Seed showed a pair with 2x2x7x6x4x and Eychenne mucked his hand.

Jun Weng: Jx9x8x6x4x
