Yilong Wang raised to 500,000 and Rohit Mariwalla responded with an all in to 2,400,000 on his direct left. Wang snapped in a call when it got back to him.
Rohit Mariwalla: J♦J♥
Yilong Wang: A♦A♣
The flop scrolled across A♥9♥K♦, immediately giving Wang top set.
The 3♦ turn had Mariwalla out of his seat, as he had no way of winning the pot as the 10♠ river bricked.
The table congratulated Mariwalla on his good run, and he left the tournament area.
Ran Ilani raised to 400,000 in middle position, Seunghyun Nam flatted in the hijack, and Romain Lewis three-bet jammed for right around 4,000,000 on the button. Ilani got out of the way and Nam quickly called with the covering stack.
Romain Lewis: Q♦Q♣
Seunghyun Nam: K♦K♥
Nam pulled ahead further on the 10♦K♣2♠ flop, improving to a set of kings. The 8♦ turn and J♦ river offered no help to Lewis and his tournament run came to an end.
Romain Lewis raised to 400,000 from early position and Ran Ilani made the call on the button.
The dealer fanned out A♥2♥J♣ and Lewis bet 450,000 after some deliberation. Illani made the call.
The turn peeled the 9♥ and Lewis continued for 700,000. Illani called again.
Lewis continued his aggression with an all-in when the 3♠ fell, and Illani wasted no time in calling off his remaining stack of 2,100,000. Lewis then realized he likely didn't have the best hand.
"Flush?" he asked, and Illani quickly confirmed.
Lewis showed A♣2♣ for flopped two pair but Ilani was best with his Q♥J♥.
Fabrizio Gonzalez raised to 400,000 in the hijack and Paawan Bansal three-bet to 1,275,000 on the button. Gonzalez then four-bet to 2,350,000 and Bansal responded with a five-bet to 3,775,000. Gonzalez made the call.
The flop came 6♥5♦6♦ and Gonzalez led out with a bet of 725,000. Bansal thought for a moment before making the call.
On the Q♦ turn, Gonzalez continued with a bet of 950,000. Bansal took some time to think through his decision before eventually tossing his cards into the muck.
