With the board showing 4♣Q♦3♦K♥Q♣ and around 280,000 in the pot, Max Neugebauer and Ivan Poroliev were locked in a heads-up battle. Neugebauer led out for 75,000 as the first to act, putting the pressure on Poroliev, who took his time to consider the spot.

After a long tank, Poroliev eventually released his hand, conceding the pot to Neugebauer, who quietly added a healthy boost to his stack.

Just a few hands later, Jonathan Pardy hit the rail from the same table.

Muratovic Takes from Saechao

Stewart Morrison

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

When the action folded to Asko Muratovic in the cutoff, he put in a raise to 14,000. One seat to his left, Stephen Chidwick made the call, before Kao Saechao put in a three-bet from the small blind to 39,000. The big blind got out of the way, but both Muratovic and Chidwick called.

Saechao continued for 24,000 on the K♥7♣4♦ flop. Muratovic made the call, and Chidwick folded.

The K♠ joined the board as the turn card, and Saechao decided a check was in order. This gave Muratovic the green light to take over the betting lead, doing so with a wager of 25,000.

Muratovic put some brief thought into his response, but ultimately decided just to fold.

From middle position, Sergio Aido fired out a near-potsized bet of 45,000 on a board of K♦9♣A♥8♣, and Michael Bernstein called from the cutoff.

Upon seeing the 6♦ fall on the river, Aido bet out for 40,000. Not too long after, Bernstein raised to 225,000. Aido deliberated for a short time before returning his cards to the dealer and surrendering the pot to Bernstein.

Taylor's Ace-King is Good

Liam Gannon

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Action was picked up on the flop in a three-way pot between Michael Miravi in the big blind, Antoine Berruel in first position, and Esther Taylor in early position.

The flop rolled out 6♠J♦K♠ and Miravi checked over to Berruel who bet 16,000 and both Miravi and Taylor called.

On the turn A♠, everyone checked over to Taylor who bet 40,000 and only Berruel called.

Both players checked the J♠ river and Berruel turned over A♦Q♥ for aces and jacks. That was no good against Taylor's A♣K♣ for aces and kings and she added a significant sum to her stack.

Sava Krink

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Jeremiah Wheeler opened the action from the hijack with a raise to 18,000, and Safiya Umerova defended her big blind.

The flop came 10♦Q♠9♠, and Umerova checked. Wheeler continued for 32,000, and Umerova stuck around with a call.

Both players checked the 3♠ turn.

On the K♥ river, Umerova checked once more, and Wheeler launched a sizable bet of 80,000 into the middle. Umerova didn’t hesitate, she called.

With the dealer announcing showdown, Umerova waited patiently, as Wheeler had made the last aggressive move. After a pause, Wheeler finally tabled 6♥5♣ for a stone-cold bluff. Umerova revealed Q♥8♠ for a pair of queens, enough to win the pot.
