Elias continued for 30,000 on the 10♣ turn, again Shi called.

The Q♣ river saw sparks fly. Elias once again opted to bet, this time for 75,000. Shi, covering Elias, moved all-in.

Elias took some time considering his options before flicking in a chip to signify a call.

Michael Shi: K♣5♣
Darren Elias: Q♠8♥

An unfortunate river for Elias, improving him to two-pair but also giving his opponent a flush.

The duo exchanged a handshake and went their separate ways.

Richard Green raised it up on the button and Kristen Foxen called from the big blind. The flop came 7♦3♦2♦ and Foxen check-called a bet of 8,000 from Green.

The turn was the A♣ and Foxen checked again. Green made a bet of 19,500 and Foxen still called. The 4♥ completed the board and Foxen checked once more. Green threw in a stack of T25,000 chips and Foxen had a decision for her final 92,000 chips.

After using her last two time banks, Foxen shrugged as she made the call. Green flipped over 7♥7♣ for a set of sevens while Foxen held A♦4♣ for just two pair.

Killian Desnos raised it up on the button and Keith Lehr jammed all in for 131,700 from the big blind. Desnos asked for a rough count and then called.

Keith Lehr: K♦9♠All in
Killian Desnos: Q♦9♦

Lehr was in a dominating position and the board of 6♠6♦5♠6♥J♠ left Lehr's king-high in the lead for a double up.

Nearby, Kevin Rabichow and Chanracy Khun saw a flop of 9♣6♣2♦ for 14,000 apiece. Khun led out with a bet of 18,000 on the flop and Rabichow called.
