Four-way to a flop of 6♦K♦10♣, the action checked to Santhosh Suvarna in middle position. He fired a bet of 40,000, and Colby Covington quickly tossed in his stack of 175,000.

Dirk Gerritse quickly folded from the big blind, but Richard Gryko reshoved from middle position, covering Suvarna's 563,000. Suvarna spent a while in the tank before he folded, and the cards went face up.

Level 8 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

John Beauprez raised to 12,000 from early position and got a call from Chris Hunichen in late position. The flop fell 10♦10♠7♦ and both players checked.

Beauprez slowly turned over his A♣8♦5♣5♦ for a rivered full house, and Hunichen mucked his cards, complaining that it was the third or fourth time he had lost on the river.
