Michael Mizrachi raised to 125,000 in the hijack with K♣J♣ and Farid Jattin three-bet shoved all in for 1,130,000 in the cutoff. Stefan Nemetz picked up a monster in the small blind and just flat-called. Mizrachi let his hand go and the two remaining hands were tabled.
Farid Jattin: K♠9♠
Stefan Nemetz: A♦K♥
Jattin found himself in a dominated position and the flop of Q♦6♦5♦ just narrowed his outs even further. The 10♠ on the turn changed nothing as the J♠ on the river gave both players a staight but it was Nemeth with the better of the two.
Chad Power raised the button to 180,000 with J♠8♠ and Sebastian Schulze called in the small blind with A♠J♣. Alexis Lucarini was in the big blind with K♠10♠, and he called, leaving himself 540,000 behind.
On the 9♦10♥5♣ flop, Schulze checked with his two overcards and Lucarini shoved his 540,000 in the middle. Power flopped an open-ended straight draw and called, which got Schulze to fold.
Lucarini needed to fade a queen, jack, or a seven, but failed at the first hurdle as a Q♥ on the turn gave Power a straight. A 6♦ on the river didn't help Lucarini, and he hit the rail.
Yaichi Fukao opened to 120,000 in early position and Hans Bosman three-bet to 330,000 in the hijack. Fukao four-bet shoved all in for 1,705,000 and Bosman asked for a count before sliding in chips to call.
Yaichi Fukao: A♥Q♣
Hans Bosman: K♠K♣
Bosman found himself in a commanding lead and the flop of Q♠4♦2♦ was not enough for Fukao to take the lead. The 10♣ on the turn and the 6♦ on the river was not enough to help Fukao survive.
Englishman Will Kassouf raised from under the gun before Irishman Stephen Kehoe reraised to 630,000 from the button. Kassouf four-bet to 1,760,000 and snap-called when Kehoe moved all in for around 3,300,000.
Stephen Kehoe: K♠K♥
Will Kassouf: A♠A♥
Kassouf left his seat, imploring the dealer for a clean runout, which is what he got as his aces remained best after the Q♦8♣6♥3♣A♦ runout.
"Come on England!" Kassouf repeatedly shouted before offering his GG's to Kehoe.
"Finally on the right side of it," he said before telling the table about the bad beats he suffered nine years ago.
Frank Flowers raised to 150,000 under the gun and Yuto Misaka moved all in for 400,000 in early position. Myles Barker then reshoved for 1,000,000 in middle position, and Flowers got out of the way.
Yuto Misaka: A♦A♠
Myles Barker: K♣K♠
Barker had run his kings into Misaka's aces and was about to be forced to hand over a big portion of his stack as the board came J♥5♦7♠4♣, but he spiked the K♥ on the river to win the pot and send Misaka to the rail.
Misaka took the horrific beat in stride and graciously wished the table luck before heading for the exit.
Andy Wilson was down to just 575,000 and ripped all in from the hijack. Braxton Dunaway asked for a count from the small blind and then called to put Wilson at risk.
Andy Wilson: A♠7♥
Braxton Dunaway: A♦8♥
Dunaway held a slight preflop edge but there was certainly potential for a chop to keep Wilson alive. The flop came Q♠10♣2♠ which connected with neither player. The 5♥ on the turn made a split pot more unlikely and the 8♦ on the river confirmed it as Dunaway made a pair to elimiante Wilson.
Ben Jackson raised to 120,000 in early position and Mark Shutley called on the button. Derek Dufour then moved all in for 405,000 in the small blind, Jackson folded, while Shutley quickly called.
Derek Dufour: K♣Q♦
Mark Shutley: A♣8♣
Shutley hit top pair and picked up the nut flush draw on the A♦9♣4♣ flop, then made his flush on the 5♣ turn. Dufour was drawing dead going to the 3♥ river and was sent to the rail.
