Denis Amirault open-shoved for his last 520,00 with Q♦7♦and got called by Kilian Kramer on the button, holding Q♠J♣.
Amirault didn't find any help throughout the board K♥2♥6♣5♣A♦ and joined the payout desk.
David Simon raised to 300,000 from late position, Thomas Nasuti then went all in and was at risk from the small blind for 1,160,000. Jian Levine went all in for 890,000 from the big blind and was also at risk. Simon made the call, and the three players were off to see five cards.
Jian Levine: 9♦9♥
Thomas Nasuti: A♠5♠
David Simon: K♣J♦
The dealer ran out a board of 4♠10♦8♦9♣A♣, Levine was ecstatic to add a pile of new chips to her stack.
In a raised pot, the flop showed 10♥K♦7♣ when Tam Ho checked from the big blind to Daune Fernandez who bet 285,000. Ho just called.
The turn brought the A♦ and Ho shoved for his last 325,000. Fernandez called, showing A♠J♦, but saw A♣10♣ in Ho's hand for two pair and the latter doubled up after the 8♣ completed the board.
Parminderjit Mehmi began the hand with a raise to 270,000 from under the gun. The action folded to Paawan Bansal on the button, who chose to raise it to 800,000.
Wellington Araujo surveyed the table before he chose to jam for 1,620,000 from the small blind. Mehmi asked for a count before she folded. Bansal then opted to call to put Araujo at risk.
Wellington Araujo: Q♣Q♦
Paawan Bansal: A♥Q♠
Araujo needed to fade an ace as they headed to the runout, and the flop of 4♠5♦K♠ was a welcome sight.
The 2♣ was not nearly as welcome a sight as it gave Bansal a straight draw as well as his outs to an ace.
Disaster struck for Araujo when the A♣ rolled over on the river to eliminate him and grow Bansal's stack past the six million chip mark.
Action folded to Casey Wassell, who moved the remainder of his stack into the middle, roughly 840,000. Only Kammer Andries made the call, and the players turned their cards over.
Casey Wassell: A♦2♦
Kammer Andries: A♠J♣
Although the flop of 4♣3♦J♥ gave Wassell some opportunities to catch up, the turn Q♣ and river 4♥ were no help, sending him to the rail.
Jordan Mcallister opened the hand with a raise to 250,000 from the button. Nicolas Tartaglia opted to jam from the small blind and was called by Mcallister after he gave it some thought to send the two to a showdown with Mcallister at risk for 1,550,000.
Jordan Mcallister: A♥Q♠
Nicolas Tartaglia: J♦10♥
Mcallister held the edge going into the turnout, and the 3♣K♠5♠ flop was safe.
The Q♣ gave Mcallister a pair, but it also produced straight outs for Tartaglia.
The 5♣ was a blank, which led to Mcallister scooping the pot.
