Jean Lhuillier opened to 12,000 from the button with Q♥10♠ and Arsenii Karmatckii defended from the big blind with K♠4♠
The flop came 8♣6♥5♥. Karmatcii led with an 8,000 bet and Lhuillier called.
Both players checked the K♦ turn leading to the 2♥ river. Karmatcii bet 37,000 and Lhuillier mucked after a couple of minutes of contemplation.
With around 90,000 chips in the pot on a board of 8♥J♠7♠Q♦5♣, Brian Hastings had bet the river for 90,000 from the big blind, which out Peter Bobro in a difficult spot from under the gun.
Bobro was agonizing over the decision and was apologetic to Hasting for taking so long.
"Sorry, give me a minute," said Bobro after being in the tank for a while. He then picked up calling chips and clutched onto them for a while, dangling them over the pot, then eventually dropped them in.
Hastings then flipped 10♣5♦ for a pair of fives and a straight blocker, and a relieved Bobro flipped 8♣7♦ for two pair to win the pot.
With 74,000 in the middle preflop, Reagan Silber got the rest of his 189,000 stack into the middle from hijack, at risk against Alexandros Kolonias from the cutoff on the J♠8♦6♣ flop.
Reagan Silber: J♦J♣ 
Alexandros Kolonias: A♥A♦
Silber outflopped the aces of Kolonias with his top set, but he still needed to hold to survive. He was able to do just that on the 3♦7♣ runout as he secured the full double in a massive pot.
The action was joined as Raad Farida had three-bet shoved for 78,000 over the raise of Cesar Dominguez.
Dominguez made the call when action folded back around to him, and the players flipped their cards over.
Raad Farida: Q♦Q♥
Cesar Dominguez: A♦J♠
Dominguez flopped some extra outs when the dealer turned over 2♣4♦3♦.
There was no further help on the 6♥ turn or 2♥ river, though, and Farida was given a full double-up.
Paul Lee opened to 15,000 from middle position with 10♥10♦, Gabriel Schroeder three-bet to 42,000 from the button with Q♠Q♥ and Lee called.
The flop came 2♣3♠2♠ and Lee check-folded to a 48,000 bet from Schroeder.
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.
Steve Heim opened to 15,000 from middle position and Jean Lhuillier called from the hijack.
Both players checked the 8♠Q♦10♦ flop leading to the J♠ turn. Heim bet 15,000 and Lhuillier called.
Heim continued for 25,000 on the 10♥ river and Lhuillier called again, showing K♥K♣ for two pair, kings and tens. Heim showed rivered trips with A♣10♣ to take the pot.
Kevin Williams opened to 15,000 and Semsettin Ilyas then jammed the button for 49,000. While the blinds had folded and Williams was in the tank, Ilyas joked "you can just fold, you are behind". Williams tossed in a single chip for the call and Ilyas was instantly knocked down in his confidence as he quickly added "oh sh.t, you are ahead".
Semsettin Ilyas: A♦7♠
Kevin Williams: K♥J♠
"Oh, you are behind," Ilyas said for the third change of mind and had reason to celebrate the double thanks to the 10♠4♠3♥9♦A♠ runout.

Wagner Wysotchanski made it 15,000 from early position with Alen Tenorio calling from the cutoff and David Cabrera Polop defending his big blind.
All three checked the 6♠9♥Q♥ flop to see the 8♣ came on the turn. Polop led out 34,000, which only Wysotchanski called.
When the 5♠ hit the river, Polop fired out 42,000 into the middle. Wysotchanski called and then mucked when Polop revealed two pair with 8♥6♥.
