With about 2,600 already in the middle and the flop showing J♦8♦4♦, Ethan Yau led out from the big blind with a bet of 600. Dinesh Alt made the call.
On the 10♠ turn, Yau checked and Alt took the lead with a bet of 2,000. Yau quickly called.
The 3♦ river saw no further action as both players checked. Yau tabled 10♥8♠ for two pair, and after a quick glance at his own cards, Alt tossed them into the muck, giving up the pot.
PokerNews caught the action with Clemen Deng already all in and Loni Harwood having committed 7,000 to the pot. After some consideration, Harwood folded, leaving Raoul Kanme to make the call.
Clemen Deng: 4♦4♥
Raoul Kanme: K♣K♦
Deng was in rough shape and needed serious help from the board, but the runout of A♦J♥9♥7♦7♥ offered no escape. Kanme’s kings held strong, earning him the pot and Deng’s bounty.
Min Zhang raised to 900 from middle position, Max Neugebauer then three-bet to 3,200 from the button, and Zhang made the call.
The dealer fanned a Q♠8♠10♦ flop, Zhang checked, Neugebauer bet 2,000, and Zhang called.
Action checked through on the Q♣ turn card.
The river was the 7♣, Zhang bet 5,000, and Neugebauer called. Zhang tabled K♣10♣, which was good for the win.

With about 36,000 in the pot and the board reading A♣4♦4♣2♦5♠, John Andress checked from under the gun over to Fabian Gumz in the cutoff. Gumz fired out a bet of 18,000, and after a short pause, Andress made the call.
Gumz revealed A♦3♦ for a straight, enough to scoop the sizable pot early in the event.
Action was picked up on a 5♠2♥K♣ flop. Anatoly Nikitin bet 4,500 from under the gun, and Stephen Hubbard called on the button.
Action checked through on the 2♣ turn.
The river was the 10♥. Nikitin moved all in for roughly 40,000. Hubbard asked for a count and discovered that Nikitin had him outchipped by just 100. Unable to acquire Nikitin’s bounty on this hand, Hubbard decided to fold.
With roughly 4,700 in the pot and the board showing 6♥4♣3♣5♦, both players checked the turn and again checked the K♠ river.
Shai Zurr tabled 10♦10♠ for a solid pair of tens, and Leon Sturm sent his cards quietly into the muck, conceding the pot.
Mohamed-Said Taghla opened the action with a raise to 600 from under the gun, and Patrick Leonard responded with a three-bet to 2,000 from the button. Brice Wood called from the small blind, as did Taghla.
The flop came 6♣7♣A♥, and all three players opted to check it through.
When the 2♦ hit the turn, Taghla took the lead with a bet of 3,200. Both Leonard and Wood quickly let it go, handing the pot back to the original raiser.
