Ernest Essad has been rolling all day, building up to a huge mountain of chips. The last bit he gathered from a nasty bluff pulled on Joshua Adcock.
In a hand that bled well into the break, Essad raised preflop. Adcock called. Essad made it 125,000 to go when 3♣Q♦Q♣ flopped. Adcock was again along for the ride.
When the board paired a second time with the 3♥ on the turn, Essad threw 300,000 chips into the pot and again Adcock matched the bet.
When the 10♣ hit on the river, Essad didn't hesitate to move his stack of 500,000 chips into the pot.
Adcoack thought about it for a while, then threw his cards in.
"How good were you?" Adcock asked.
A smiling Essad looked above the rim of his spectacles and showed K♠9♠6♥5♣. The best hand he could make was the his king and nine as kickers for the pair of queens on the board. Ouch.

As the levels progress play is getting faster, Justus Marsico raised to 90,000 in middle position and as quickly as it was checked around the table to Jianqiang Yu he moved all in for his remaining 185,000 and Marsico flicked in the call. The players showed down their hands.
Jianqiang Yu:A♣J♠4♣5♠
Justus Marsico: K♣K♠5♦3♣
Short-stacked Yu picked the spot, but his fate did not change on this hand as a clean runout Q♣8♥5♥8♠6♥ held and Yu remarked "Good game" to his tablemates as he made his was across to the payout cage to collect his earned cash.
