Roi Sabag raised in 16,000 in the hijack, Esther Taylor three-bet to 48,000 on the button, the blinds folded and Sabag called.

The flop came A♠7♣3♠ and Brindise checked to Lynskey, who flicked in a continuation bet. That was enough for Brindise, who let his hand go, and Lynskey raked in another pot.

David Paukovitz had been hanging on as the short stack at the table, down to just 22,000. He was under the gun, took a quick look at his cards, and his expression said it all; it was now or never. He moved all in.
Joel Shackelford, sitting in middle position, three-bet to 62,000 to isolate, and everyone else got out of the way.
David Paukovitz: J♠J♥
Joel Shackelford: A♣K♥
Paukovitz didn't want to watch. It seemed like he had a bad feeling, and the flop confirmed it, 6♠A♣10♣ gave Shackelford top pair. The 4♦ turn offered no help, and the 9♥ river ended Paukovitz’s Main Event run, sending him to the rail with his hopes dashed just before the money.
Brandon Sheils kicked the action off with a raise to 18,000 under the gun. Alberto Destrade was the only player to call, doing so on the button.

Destrade didn't take too long before returning his cards to the dealer, surrendering the pot.

The turn was the 3♣ and Affleck bet another 58,000. Gaugusch called to see the 2♣ river, where Affleck moved all in.
Gaugusch immediately buried his face in his hands and covered up with his hoodie as he lowered his head toward the table. He spent several minutes in the tank considering the decision for his last 200,000, but he eventually tossed A♥Q♣ into the muck and Affleck took the pot without showing.
Bogdan Chornyy opened to 16,000 from middle position and was called by Nikesh Chawla on the button.

Anavi knuckled the action over to Polop on the 3♣Q♣10♣ flop, and Polop jammed to put Anavi all in. Anavi raised his eyebrows, looked back at his cards, and then called for his 222,000.
Or Anavi: Q♥Q♦
David Cabrera Polop: K♠K♥
Anavi flopped top set of queens against the cowboys of Polop. The J♥ turn gave Polop a straight draw, but the 6♣ on the river was clean for Anavi, and he doubled up.
