The action was joined with a full board showing Q♥7♦4♦9♥7♥, and roughly 45,000 already in the middle.
Robert Grossglauser had put out a bet of 21,000, and Kevin Frame had responded by moving all in for 39,000.
Grossglauser spent a good few minutes in the tank, trying to decide what to do, before eventually settling on a call.
Frame turned over A♥10♥ for the nut flush, and a frustrated Grossglauser flipped over his Q♠J♦.
Matthew Franklin raised to 5,000 from middle position holding K♦10♦. Nicholas Rigby in hijack called with Q♣10♣ to see a flop.
The flop dropped 8♥A♥5♠. Franklin continued with 7,000. Rigby raised to 14,000 and took the pot down.
In a heads-up pot, the board showed 4♥5♠8♦J♥ when Johnny Lodden checked to Damian Salas who bet 7,000. Lodden took a minute and called.
The Q♦ landed on the river and Lodden checked again. Salas sent 42,000 into the pot and Lodden considered it for some time before folding.
With 27,000 in the middle to the 10♦3♥3♠Q♥ turn, Dong Le check-raised from 9,000 to 26,000 and was called by Joshua Beckenstein. They headed to the K♠ on the river on which Le checked again with a shorter stack behind. Beckenstein now bet 125,000 and Le was sent into agony until he reluctantly folded.
Roi Sabag opened to 4,000 from the hijack and it was folded to Chad Holloway, who shoved for his last 55,500 from the big blind. Sabag verified the amount before placing in a call to put Holloway at risk.
Chad Holloway: A♦A♣
Roi Sabag: K♣Q♦
Holloway was the massive favorite, and the 2♣9♣8♣4♦2♦ runout provided him with a much needed and sweat-free double-up.
"That's the bottom of my range," Holloway said. "If I had kings I would have folded!"
Action was picked up with Beihao Wang all-in on the button for 12,000 and Jun Weng making the call.
Beihao Wang: 4♠4♣
Jun Weng: 6♦6♣
Weng was ahead of Wang and when the board ran 7♣5♦7♦7♠J♦, Wang went off the floor as Weng scooped the pot.
Mitchell Scholefield raised to 4,000 from middle position and in late position, Shant Setrakian three-bet to 14,000. Stephen Graner four-bet to 46,000 from the hijack, prompting Scholefield to five-bet jam 67,000. Setrakian six-bet jam 162,000 and Graner went into the tank for a bit before opting to fold K♥K♦ face up.
Mitchell Scholefield: Q♥Q♦
Shant Setrakian: A♦A♣
The board ran out Q♣2♥10♥J♦J♥ and the queens full of jacks was good for Scholefield to crack Setrakian's aces and survive.
Jeffery Kohlman raised to 4,000 in late position, and Stephane Guelpa called in the small blind. James Buckley then made it 14,000 to go in the big blind, which Kohlman called.
Guelpa had other plans and ripped in his stack of 84,000. Buckley called without asking for a count, prompting Kohlman to get out of the way.
Stephane Guelpa: 2♠2♦
James Buckley: K♠K♣
Guelpa's risky move did not work out as the 4♦10♠7♦J♦A♣ board brought no help. Buckley's cowboys held strong, and Guelpa was sent to the rail.
Gilad Rubinsky limped from early position, and Tabatha Hilliard raised to 3,000 from middle position. Action folded to Andreas Berggren, who called as did Rubinsky.
The flop came A♥5♥8♥, and Berggren checked to Rubinsky, who bet out for 23,000, Hilliard called, and Berggren folded.
The turn brought the 7♣, and Rubinsky continued the aggression by betting out for 47,000. Hilliard called. The river saw the K♣ peel off, and Rubinsky bet out for 82,000, and Hilliard snap-called.
"Flush" announced Rubinsky and tabled 10♥9♥. "Nice hand" came the reply from Hilliard as she flashed her A♠K♠ before dumping into the muck as Rubinsky started stacking up the monster pot that sent him over 600,000 in chips.
