Heads up on a Q♥9♠2♠J♦ turn, Justin Fawcett bet 2,500,000 into the pot of 4,500,000 from the big blind. Riley Dieckhoff called under the gun before Q♦ river completed the board.

Fawcett fired 4,500,000, which was quickly raised all in by Dieckhoff.

"I don't think I can fold," Fawcett admitted moments before he committed the 7,000,000 he had left behind. Dieckhoff tabled J♥J♣ for jacks full of queens, beating the 9♥9♦ of Fawcett, who left the COLOSSUS with nines full of queens

Level 36 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

Kaiwen Wei in the big blind and Scott Webber in middle position were heads up on a turn of 6♣7♥Q♦8♣. Wei checked to Webber, who shoved his stack of 7,500,000 into the pot of 9,500,000.

Wei snap-called with the covering stack, and both players revealed their cards.

Scott Webber: A♣Q♠ All in
Kaiwen Wei: 6♠6♦

Webber's top pair was drawing dead against the set of Wei. The inconsequential 4♥ river rolled off as Webber said his goodbyes and left to pick up his cash.

Level 36 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

The board read 10♥9♣5♣K♦ with around 4,500,000 in the middle.

Brandon Simonsen had bet 3,200,000 from under the gun, and Mark Tornai raised it up to 8,400,000 from the button. Simonsen took some time before making the call.

The river completed the board with the 2♣. Simonsen checked for the final time before Tornai pushed all his chips over the line. The dealer confirmed that Tornai had 9,700,000 left, and Simonsen jumped into the tank.

"Wish I had played with you more," Simonsen commented but was met with no response by Tornai. After a few more minutes, Simonsen apologized for the long tank to the rest of the table.

A few more minutes later, the clock was called. The floor came over and gave Simonsen 30 seconds to make a decision, he cut out calling chips and pushed them into the pot for the call.

Tornai tabled the 4♥4♣ for Simonsen to flip over his 5♠5♦ for the set of fives to show he had made the right call.
