Scott Bohlman opened to 120,000 from early position and Shuofei Geng called in the cutoff. Rafael Mota also came along from the big blind.
The flop came 10♦6♦K♥ and all three checked to the 6♠ turn, where Mota bet 200,000. Bohlman called and Geng folded.
When the K♠ double-paired the board on the river, Mota went with a small sizing of 225,000. Bohlman took some time and then stuck in a raise to 1,000,000, then Mota shoved for 3,050,000. Bohlman had around 3,200,000 behind and after thinking it over for more than a minute, he folded.

Samy Dubonnet made it 120,000 to go from early position and Jesse Lonis called in the cutoff. Kyle Larsen also called in the big blind.
The flop came 9♦7♦5♠ and when it checked to Lonis, he fired 180,000. Larsen took some time before he shoved his stack of 550,000. Dubonnet folded, and Lonis called.
Kyle Larsen: 5♥4♠
Jesse Lonis: J♥8♥
Larsen flopped a pair and went with it, but couldn't fade the turn as the 6♥ gave Lonis a straight. There was no chop on the J♦ river, and Larsen headed to the exit.

After a brief squabble over chair positioning, Dusti Smith and Samy Dubonnet found themselves in a more serious confrontation—this time over a pot. Smith’s assertive playing style has been steadily increasing her stack, while Dubonnet remains one of the shorter stacks at the table. With a significant pay jump looming, play has noticeably tightened across the board.
Smith opened the action from early position with a raise to 175,000. Despite his short stack, Dubonnet responded with a bold three-bet to 400,000 from middle position. Smith tossed in the additional chips to see a flop.
The dealer spread 3♠8♠J♠, and Smith checked the action to Dubonnet. He fired out a bet of 160,000, which prompted a quick fold from Smith on the monotone board.
Dubonnet raked in the pot, and although this hand didn’t reach showdown, it added another layer to their brewing table dynamic—one worth keeping an eye on.

Both players checked to the showdown. When Shen saw Boujmala flipped his A♥10♥, he tossed his cards away.

Brian Green, sitting on the button, moved all in for his last 1,760,000 chips, and Jesse Lonis snap-called from the big blind. As the cards hit the felt, Green offered an immediate apology—despite holding the inferior hand—adding with a grin, “The Universe wants me to win.”
So far, that mantra seemed to be working in his favor.
Brian Green: A♣5♠
Jesse Lonis: A♦K♣
The board followed the universe's orders with a straight for Green on a runout of 2♦A♠3♦4♦4♥.

The action folded around to Pete Chen in the small blind, who shoved for around 850,000. Allen Shen was in the big blind and immediately called.
Pete Chen: A♠8♣
Allen Shen: A♣K♦
Chen was in trouble, but did find some chop outs as they both hit trips on the A♦A♥5♠ flop. A K♣ on the turn all but sealed the deal for Shen as he made top boat, with Chen searching for a king on the river to chop. Instead, the 2♥ rolled off, and Chen was out in 17th.

Shuofei Geng raised from early position to 160,000, and Scott Bohlman called from the button. The flop came out with K♠Q♦Q♣, and Geng made an out-of-position continuation bet of 150,000. Bohlman called.
The turn 2♦ saw both players check.
The river was the gin card 6♠ for Geng, and he re-checked his cards and led out for 160,000. Bohlman made the call, but mucked when he saw Geng had 6♣6♥ for a full house.
Geng commented, "No raise on the river?" and chuckled.
