Jeffrey Hakim raised on the button to 280,000. Isaac Haxton reraised to 490,000 in the big blind. Hakim raised the pot, and Haxton took a moment before making the call.
Isaac Haxton: K♥K♣3♥2♣
Jeffrey Hakim: A♦A♠9♣5♣
The 9♦6♠7♥10♠Q♦ runout saw Hakim's aces hold up, and Haxton was knocked out in 16th place.
Three players were engaged in a limped pot with the flop coming J♥10♠10♣. Gjergj Sinishtaj tossed in a bet of 125,000 from the big blind and Phil Ivey raised to 375,000 in the cutoff. Daniel Geeng three-bet to 700,000 from the small blind which got Sinishtaj to fold. Ivey clicked it back with a four-bet to 1,175,000 and Geen just called.
The turn was the 2♣ and Geeng checked to Ivey who shoved all in. Geeng burned through two time banks before calling off his stack of just over 800,000.
Daniel Geeng: Q♦10♦7♠6♦
Phil Ivey: J♠J♣6♣5♥
Geeng flopped trip tens but Ivey already had a full house with his pocket jacks. The river was the 3♣ and Geeng headed to the payout desk.
Daniel Geeng opened from the cutoff to 250,000. Gjergj Sinishtaj called next to act, and Roman Hrabec called in the small blind.
The flop was A♥J♣9♦ and Geeng bet 650,000. Sinishtaj then raised the pot, the total amount being 2,900,000. Hrabec went into the tank, before moving all in. Geeng was anguished when the action was on him, but finally folded. Sinisthaj made the call.
Roman Hrabec: Q♣10♥9♥8♠
Gjergj Sinishtaj: A♠K♦10♦8♥
The turn was the Q♦ giving Sinishtaj the nuts, and he held on the 5♣ river.
Lautaro Guerra opened under the gun to 350,000 and only Artem Maksimov, in the big blind, called.
The flop came A♥8♣Q♣, and when Guerra continued with a bet of 250,000, Maksimov check-raised all in. Guerra called, and the cards were turned on their backs.
Artem Maksimov: Q♠Q♥8♠8♥
Lautaro Guerra: A♠A♣J♠5♥
Both players had flopped sets; in fact, Maksimov had flopped two. It was Guerra with top set, though.
The turn brought the 3♠, meaning Maksimov had one opportunity left to hit either of his two remaining outs.
Alas, the river 6♠ did not save Maksimov, and he departed in 19th place.
Tomasz Gluszko raised to 280,000 in middle position and Talal Shakerchi called from the cutoff. They went heads-up to a flop of Q♠6♥5♥ and Gluszko checked to Shakerchi who bet 475,000. Gluszko check-raised the pot to 2,225,000 and Shakerchi announced all in. Gluszko used a couple of time banks, hoping for a pay jump, and then eventually called.
Tomasz Gluszko: Q♣10♥8♥7♣
Talal Shakerchi: A♥Q♥8♦3♦
The turn was the A♣ to give Shakerchi two pair and Gluszko was left hoping for a straight. The 10♣ on the river was not enough for Gluszko who was eliminated at the hands of the chip leader.
Roman Hrabec raised to 200,000 from the hijack. Michael Duek called in the small blind, and Petko Tsakov called in the big blind.
The board came J♠3♦2♠ and action checked to Hrabec. He bet another 200,000. Duek folded, but Tsakov raised the pot. Hrabec went all in, and Tsakov called.
Petko Tsakov: Q♣Q♦3♠2♣
Roman Hrabec: A♠9♠8♥2♥
The 7♣ fell on the turn, and the 5♠ on the river gave Hrabec the nut flush and Tskaov was eliminated in 21st place.
Jeffrey Hakim raised to 240,000 in the small blind before Erick Lindgren moved all in from the big blind for 655,000. Hakim called to put Lindgren at risk, and the cards were turned over.
Erick Lindgren: Q♠J♠J♣8♠
Jeffrey Hakim: A♠K♦10♥7♣
The 7♦3♥10♠ flop moved Hakim into the lead with two pair.
The turn 6♣ and river 5♣ weren't enough to save Lindgren, as he vacated his seat and headed to the exit.
Bryn Kenney raised to 175,000 from early position. Dennis Weiss called on the button, Evan Krentzman called in the small blind, and Brant Hale called in the big.
The board came out K♦4♦2♦, and action checked to Weiss, who bet 290,000. Krentzman called, and then Hale moved all in. It folded around to Krentzman, who made the call.
Brant Hale: Q♦J♣9♦5♥
Evan Krentzman: K♥K♠J♦2♣
The 4♠ turn gave Krentzman a boat, sinking Hale's flush, and the 7♦ river couldn't help Hale.
Dennis Weiss limped in from under the gun. Bryn Kenney also called in the cutoff. David Eldridge, completed from the small blind and Isaac Haxton checked his option.
The flop was the Q♦J♦9♠, and action checked to Weiss. He bet 125,000. Kenney folded, but Eldridge called. Haxton then raised to 460,000. Weiss made the call. Eldridge then moved all in for 735,000. Haxton confirmed that he could not raise due to the size of Eldridge's all in. He made the call, and Weiss called as well.
The turn was the 3♦, and Haxton asked for the dealer to count the pot. It was 2,505,000. Haxton then checked, and Weiss bet the pot. Haxton again thought for a while, before folding.
David Eldridge: A♠K♠10♣3♣
Dennis Weiss: A♦10♥8♦8♥
Eldridge was drawing dead to Weiss' flush, and the K♣ river just confirmed his elimination.
After a couple of limps, Dennis Weiss raised the pot to 330,000 in the cutoff. Ka Kwan Lau was the only player to call, and they went heads-up to a flop of 7♠7♣2♠. Lau checked to Weiss, who dropped in a stack of chips, leading to Lau calling off his stack of 355,000.
Ka Kwan Lau: K♥Q♠Q♦9♠
Dennis Weiss: K♠K♣J♥3♣
Weiss was in front with his pair of kings, but Lau had a flush draw to hit. The turn was the 4♣ and the river was the K♦, improving Weiss to a full house and eliminating Lau.
