There were a couple of limps before Pavel Plesuv raised the pot from the small blind. Adam Hendrix folded after limping but Christopher Demaci shoved all. Plesuv called off his last 110,000 chips and the cards were tabled.
Pavel Plesuv: A♠A♥7♣6♣
Christopher Demaci: K♠K♦5♥2♠
The board ran out 9♣6♥4♥8♣4♣ and Plesuv's pair of aces turned into a flush, good enough for a double up.
Phil Ivey limped from the button, which led to a limp by John Richards in the small blind. Ben Lamb checked his option to send the three players to a flop.
Richards and Lamb checked the 8♠Q♥K♥ flop. Ivey slid out 16,000, which led to a fold from Richards. Lamb reacted with a raise to 64,000. Ivey folded to end the hand.
Jason Mercier limped in from middle position, and David Mzareulov checked his option from the big blind.
The flop came K♣4♠3♦ and Mzareulov checked over to Mercier, who bet 10,000. Mzareulov called.
The turn was the Q♠, and both players checked. On the 8♦ river, Mzareulov threw in 25,000. Mercier thought for a second before making the call.
Mzareulov tabled K♠10♠8♥4♠ for two pair, and Mercier mucked.
Erick Lindgren opened the hand with a raise to 20,000 from the hijack and was called in the next seat over by Biao Ding in the cutoff. Scott Bohlman also called from the big blind to send the three players to a flop.
The K♦10♠3♣ flop led to a round of checks.
Bohlman checked the 5♥ turn, which led to a bet of 72,000 from Lindgren. Ding and Bohlman folded to award Lindgren the pot.
Jesse Lonis opened to 20,000 in early position and Kristopher Tong three-bet to 88,000 from the small blind. Lonis just called and the flop of J♣2♣2♦ was spread across the felt. Tong moved all in for his last 86,000 and Lonis used a time bank before making the call.
Kristopher Tong: A♣A♦8♠2♥
Jesse Lonis: K♠K♦7♦5♣
Tong had aces with a deuce in his hand while Lonis was drawing slim with pocket kings. The 9♦ on the turn gave Lonis a flush draw and the 4♦ on the river completed his flush, without improving Tong who was left stunned by the runout.
