Michael Duek raised the pot to 1,400,000 on the button with the Q♦J♦10♦10♣ and Jeffrey Hakim called in the small blind with the 7♠6♦5♠4♦. The double-suited rundown flopped a full house on 7♣7♦5♣ and he checked, Duek bet 1,200,000 and Hakim called.
That led them to the 8♣ on the turn and Hakim checked once more, Duek now checked back and the 2♣ then followed on the river.
Hakim now bet 2,000,000 for one third of the pot and Duek quickly folded. After the hand, the remaining three players went on their first scheduled break.

Dennis Weiss limped the button with the J♠J♣5♦4♣ and Michael Duek called out of the small blind holding the 10♥10♦6♠4♦, Jeffrey Hakim in the big blind checked his option with the K♥Q♥8♠5♣.
The K♣8♦3♠ flop was checked to Weiss, who bet 750,000. That got rid of Duek but Hakim called with his top two pair.

The Q♣ river gave Weiss the nut flush and Hakim checked the third street in a row. Weiss now carefully considered his next option before he eventually declared "pot" for a bet of 7,300,000.
Hakim conceded two time banks but no further chips to avoid a major setback, sending his cards into the muck.

Michael Duek: K♣J♣10♥8♣
Duek had flopped the full house only for Hakim to turn the superior full house. Both slow-played their premium hands and Hakim earned the full double.

Michael Duek opened to 1,400,000 from the cutoff with 10♥8♠6♥6♦ and Evan Krentzman defended from the big blind with A♦Q♥10♦9♠. The flop came A♥6♠2♣ and Krentzman check-called a bet of 1,000,000 from Duek.
The turn was the 9♦ and Krentzman checked again. Duek sized up a bet of 2,700,000 this time and Krentzman still called after improving to two pair.
The 7♥ peeled off on the river which improved Duek from a set of sixes to the nut straight. Krentzman checked and Duek asked for it all, shoving all in. Krentzman went into the tank, having a decision for his remaining 7,400,000 chips. After three time banks, Krentzman made the call and Duek showed him the bad news.

In a preflop raising war, Dennis Weiss was aiming to send the second opponent to the payout desk in a row when he got it in against Evan Krentzman.
Evan Krentzman: A♣K♠Q♠6♥
Dennis Weiss: K♥K♦10♣2♣
The A♦J♣5♣ flop vaulted Krentzman into the lead but he had plenty of outs to dodge, as Weiss had a gutshot and flush draw. Nothing changed with the 3♠ turn and the 8♦ river was a brick as well, prompting some "let's goooo" from Krentzman's rail.

Dennis Weiss limped in from the small blind and Talal Shakerchi raised to 900,000 from the big blind. Weiss called and the dealer fanned the flop of 10♠10♣7♠. Weiss started with a check and Shakerchi cut out a bet of 1,100,000. Weiss still called and the 6♣ landed on the turn.
Weiss checked again and Shakerchi announced all in for his last 3,300,000. Weiss asked for a count and then called to put Shakerchi at risk.
Talal Shakerchi: A♣Q♥10♥8♠
Dennis Weiss: Q♦8♣7♣2♣
Shakerchi was the one way ahead with trip tens but Weiss found a dream turn card to give him straight and flush draws. It was the J♣ on the river that gave Weiss a flush and Shakerchi became the first casualty of the day in fifth place.
