Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Christopher Hermens had opened to 9,000 from middle position and was faced with a hefty three-bet of 50,000 from John Holley in the big blind.
Hermens then four-bet shoved for just over 290,000, and Holley was in the tank for quite some time. So long in fact that one of the table called the clock.
"Come on, man. This is a big spot," said Holley.
"It's been a while," replied his tablemate.
The floor came over and Holley was given a 30-second countdown. The seconds ticked away and Holley didn't make any action by the time the clock hit zero, which meant his hand was declared dead and Hermens was pushed the pot.

When action folded to Vincent Napolitano, he moved all in for his remaining 17,000. Alexander Ziskin, next to act, made the call, and the rest of the table folded.
Vincent Napolitano: 2♠2♦ 
Alexander Ziskin: 10♠10♣
A very polite Napolitano asked the dealer, "Do you have a two of hearts in there?".
Ask and you shall receive. The dealer flipped over a Q♥8♣2♥ flop, moving Napolitano into the lead with bottom set.
There was no help for Ziskin on the 9♠ turn, nor the 3♥ river, and Napolitano pulled in a pot worth more than a double up.

Jonathan Wong opened to 8,000 from early position before Rodrigo Portaleoni three-bet to 22,000 on his direct left, whilst playing some five-card PLO on his iPad, as if the Main Event is not enough action, and Wong called.
On the J♥5♥5♦ flop, Wong checked in flow to Portaleoni who continued for 15,000 and Wong put in the call.
The A♥ turn checked through to the 2♦ river which saw Wong check for a third time before Portaleoni tossed out a bet of 30,000, causing Wong to lay it down after a minute's tank as the Brazilian collected a sizeable pot.

: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
San Kim opened from the button and Will Kassouf defended from the big blind.
The flop came A♥K♥J♣ and Kassouf check-called a 20,000 continuation bet from Kim.
Kassouf check-called an 80,000 bet from Kim on the 4♣ turn. On the 2♥ river Kassoud led out with a 166,000 bet and Kim called.
Kim had top set with A♠A♣ but Kassouf had rivered a flush with 9♥4♥ to take down a massive pot from the table chip leader.

Maor Zaharagi made it 8,000 to go from middle position before Michael Dulberg three-bet to 25,000 from the next seat. When it folded back to Zaharagi, he called.
The flop came down 7♣6♦J♦ and Zaharagi checked to Dulberg, who bet 30,000. Zaharagi let go of his hand, allowing Dulberg to pull in the pot.

After an open to 8,000 Jesus Martinez three-bet 22,000 and Dusty Ross four-bet to 125,000. The initial raiser folded and Martinez contemplated before flatting with 140,000 behind.
Both players checked the 9♣7♥4♠ flop. "Triyng to figure out what you flatted with," said Ross as the turn brought the 5♠.
Martinez bet 30,000 and Ross called. The river was the A♣. Martinez checked before folding with apparent anger as Ross shoved it.
"Feels like it was aces," said Andreas Staschewski to Ross. "I really like the Hollywood on the flop."
Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Virgile Turchi raised to 8,000 in the cutoff and in the big blind, Roman Hrabec called.
Hrabec checked the flop of 10♣8♦4♦ over to Turchi who bet 15,000. Hrabec raised to 35,000, prompting Turchi to move all in for 143,000 and Hrabec called.
Virgile Turchi: A♠10♦
Roman Hrabec: 8♥8♠
The board ran out 5♣9♣ and the set of eights was good for Hrabec to grow his stack while Turchi was eliminated from the tournament.

: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
With the board showing A♠9♠K♣4♠7♣ and around 110,000 in the middle, action checked to Curtis King in the hijack. He made a bet for roughly 275,000, easily covering both Diego Sanchez Serrano and Jean-Robert Autran in the blinds.
Serrano went deep into the tank before ultimately folding, leaving Autran to make the decision for his tournament life. After a long pause, Autran committed the chips and made the call.
King tabled Q♠10♠ for the second-nut flush, and Autran could only shake his head as he revealed 8♠7♠ for a weaker flush.
Autran was visibly crushed as he hit the rail, while King raked in a hefty pot to continue his rise up the chip counts.
As the chips were pushed across the table, Serrano quietly added, “I folded king of spades,” revealing just how few outs either player had to hit their flush.

In a heads-up pot on a board of 2♦5♥5♣K♦, Marc Evanier was all in for 56,000 and Roi Sabag called with a bigger stack.
Marc Evanier: 2♠2♣
Roi Sabag: J♣J♠
Evanier had flopped a boat and had Sabag drawing thin, but the dealer found the J♥ on the river to suck the life out of Evanier as Sabag made the better full house.
"Sorry man," Sabag said after the major suckout.
