Action was picked up after a hand, with Zen Pool on his feet after heading home in one of the worst ways possible. The board read 3♥7♥7♠2♥4♠ and Pool had K♥K♦ in front of him. Despite the strength of his hand, Douglas Weymeersch had also got all the way to the river, and was tabling A♠A♣.
Weymeersch let PokerNews know that he and Pool had got into a preflop betting war, ending in Pool's six-bet shove, and Weymeersch's call.
"I wanted to fold," said Pool as he was exiting. "I'm not good enough yet, though.”

Action was picked up with three players in an all-in showdown, with a main pot almost 400,000 and a side pot of about 50,000.
Murilo Souza Figueredo: A♥K♥
Brian Grzywaczewski: 10♠10♦
Timothy Joyner: A♦Q♥
The flop came Q♠7♦8♠ which pushed Joyner in the lead. However, the tides shifted with the turn K♣ putting Figueredo at the front for a potential triple-up. The 3♠ river fell and Grzywaczewski was left in the cold and eliminated while Joyner won the side pot and Figueredo the main.

Russell Boyd was heads-up against Ignacio Sole to his direct left. They were already all in on the 5♣Q♥9♥J♦9♦ board. The pot stood at around 20,000.
Sole had moved all in and action was on Boyd. Boyd took a little time before calling off Sole's bluff.
Sole stood from the table as soon as Boyd made the call, knowing he was likely beat with his king high.
Ignacio Sole: K♠7♦
Russell Boyd: 9♠6♣
Boyd remarked, "He almost got away with it."

Two short stacks went to war preflop, as Marion Decout and Daniel Hayden got it in, hoping to find some life in the deepstack championship.
Marion Decout: A♥5♣
Daniel Hayden: 10♣10♠
Hayden was up in arms as the A♦J♣8♥ flop fired his opponent way out in the lead, but he did manage to pick up some more life as the Q♣ rolled off on the river. He managed to get into Broadway through the back door with the K♦ river, ending Decout's run.

Casey Hatmaker got it all in for just 12,000 from the cutoff, and both blinds, Phillip Lowery and Nick Ahmadi, made the call.
The K♣A♦K♥ flop checked through, before Ahmadi led for 13,000 on the 8♥ turn. Lowery called, allowing the Q♥ to peel off on the river. Action checked through again, and Hatmaker tabled 4♣4♥ immediately. What had started off as the best hand preflop had been downgraded to the worst postflop, as Lowery's A♣J♠ took it down, and Ahmadi's 10♣8♠ lost out.
