Bach was firmly in front with a pair of aces, but the 3♣ turn brought some chop outs. Bach saw a clean 8♥ river, doubling his stack through Wells.

Limit Hold'em

Anthony Ribeiro raised from the hijack and Thomas Taylor defended his big blind.

The A♥A♦Q♣ flop checked through to the 3♥ turn which saw Taylor lead. Ribeiro then announced a raise which immediately raised an eyebrow from Taylor, who called.

On the 10♥ river, Taylor checked it over to Ribeiro who bet and Taylor snapped it off. Ribeiro tabled K♥J♠ for a rivered straight as he was likely drawing to just four outs and Taylor could only frustratingly muck as the rail went wild for the Brazilian.

Bach checked to Thomas, who started to slide out a bet of 390,000. Bach folded before the chips reached the middle, with Thomas claiming the pot.

Two hands later, Thomas checked his big blind option after Fu Wong and Robert Wells limped. Wong checked the 4♦Q♥6♠ flop from the small blind, and Thomas fired 265,000.

Wells quickly folded, while Wong followed by sending his cards to the dealer and Thomas took down another pot.

On the 10♣8♦4♥ flop, Wong check-called a bet from Barthe.

Wong check-called another bet on the K♥ turn before he led on the K♠ river. Barthe would go deep into the tank for over a minute before he cut out calling chips and placed them into the middle. Wong tabled K♦8♠4♦3♠ for a full house to drag a sizeable pot off the Frenchman.
