: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Andreas Staschewski moved all in for 360,000 in the hijack and Tomas Szwarcberg reshoved on the button to force out the rest of the table.
Andreas Staschewski: J♦J♣ 
Tomas Szwarcberg: K♣10♣
"What?" Staschewski said in surprise when Szwarcberg revealed his cards. Szwarcberg made a pair and straight draw on the 9♠Q♦10♦ flop, but he improved no further on the 2♠ turn and A♠ river and Staschewski doubled up.

Tony Gregg raised to 80,000 in early position with K♣J♦. Benjamin Winsor called on the button with 9♠9♦, and Mark Shutley defended his big blind with A♠7♣.
It checked to Winsor on the K♠9♣8♥ flop, who put in a bet of 120,000. Shutley folded before Gregg called. The 4♠ turn saw Winsor size up to 350,000. Gregg check-called once more, and the 3♠ river completed the board.
After Gregg checked a third time, Winsor moved all in for 730,000. Gregg instantly folded his top pair, and the chips were pushed to Winsor.

David Swift raised to 85,000 with A♠K♠ from under the gun and Gregor Sverko called in early position holding 8♦8♣.
Swift flopped the nuts on 4♠9♠7♠ as he made a flush, and he bet 50,000. Sverko called and picked up an open-ended straight draw on the 6♣ turn. Swift, still with the nuts, fired 100,000, and again Sverko called.
The 10♣ river was disastrous for Sverko as he made a straight, and was faced with a bet as Swift threw out 575,000. Sverko smirked and rechecked his cards a few times.
"Very tight fold," said Sverko as he threw his cards away. Swift didn't show, but Sverko will give himself a pat on the back when he watches that back later.

Jarod Minghini raised to 80,000 in late position. It folded to Sejo Kasic, who defended his big blind. Kasic checked the 10♥9♥A♠ flop before he called the bet of 100,000 by Minghini.
Minghini made it 300,000 to go on the Q♥ turn, and Kasic again check-called. The 10♦ river saw 350,000 fly in from Minghine, and Kasic quickly check-called to showdown.
Minghini showed A♣Q♠ for two pair, and Kasic added his A♦J♠ to the pile of mucked cards in defeat.

More than 1,000,000 was already in the middle as Richard Buckingham and Denis Strebkov went to the turn on a board of A♠10♥J♥4♣. Buckingham then bet 400,000 from the small blind and Strebkov called in middle position.
The river was the J♠ and Buckingham bet another 600,000. Strebkov quickly called and Buckingham turned over J♦10♦ for a rivered full house. Strebkov let out a loud sigh as he picked up his cards.
"King-queen?" Buckingham asked, and Strebkov indeed tossed K♠Q♠ into the muck as the massive pot was pushed to Buckingham.

Chris Dombrowski was the first to act and raised it to 80,000. Jacob Powers responded with an all-in for approximately 700,000. Dombrowski asked for a count, but called before the dealer cut out all the chips to send them to a showdown.
Jacob Powers: A♠10♠
Chris Dombrowski: A♦K♥
Powers ran into the better ace of Dombrowski and found no help when the dealer put out the board of 4♥2♠9♣2♥2♦ to award the pot to Dombrowski, who, after the win, is now flirting with three million in chips.

Following a raise to 80,000, Daniel Becker three-bet to 300,000 out of the small blind. Anton Beno in the big blind had slightly more than that behind and moved all-in to force out the initial raiser and Becker called.
Anton Beno: A♥K♥
Daniel Becker: Q♣Q♥
The 5♥4♦3♥ flop gave Beno even more outs with the wheel draw and nut flush draw, but he bricked the 9♦ turn and J♦ river.
"Queens are good for you man," Joshua Beckenstein said and Becker replied "I am telling you".
The table chat after revealed that Becker was ready to play eleven hours today despite the fact his flight was booked tomorrow, which he may now have to change after all.

Rohit Mariwalla made it 85,000 from early position with Eric Afriat calling out of the hijack, and Nadav Barash defending his big blind.
Barash and Mariwalla checked the 10♥6♥9♣ flop, allowing Afriat to bet 100,000. Barash and Mariwalla made the call.
The 3♠ rolled off on the turn and the action once again checked to Afriat. Afriat bet 350,000, which was enough to get two folds, and allow him to drag in the pot.

Viktor Blom moved all in as first to act for 325,000. Andrew Hedley made the call in late position before the rest of the table got out of the way.
Viktor Blom: A♣K♦
Andrew Hedley: A♥Q♦
The 5♦5♣3♣9♠ board brought some chop outs with it, but the river came the safe A♠ as Blom's kicker remained in play for the double-up.
