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.
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.
Alexis Lucarini opened from the hijack and John Wasnock shoved from the big blind for 1,060,000. Lucarini snap-called.
John Wasnock: J♥J♦
Alexis Lucarini: A♠A♦
Wasnock was behind with his pocket jacks, but soon flipped the script as he made a set on the 5♦8♦J♠ flop. A 7♣ on the turn left Lucarini with just two outs, but the 4♥ wasn't one of them, meaning Wasnock doubled up.
Jarod Minghini three-bet to 450,000 in early position and Wagner Wysotchanski called under the gun.
The flop came 10♥6♦A♣ and Minghini bet 200,000. Wysotchanski called and the 7♦ fell on the turn. Minghini then bet 1,200,000 and Wysotchanski again called.
The 4♣ fell on the river and Minghini bet 2,000,000. Wysotchanki took a few minutes before calling, and Minghini turned over A♥A♠ for top set to win the massive pot.
The next hand, Francis Anderson opened to 125,000 in early position and Brandon Eisen called in middle position. Wysotchanski then three-bet to 335,000 in the big blind and both opponents called.
Wysotchanski moved all in for 800,000 on the 8♥7♥6♦ flop and Anderson folded, but Eisen snap-called.
Wagner Wysotchanski: 9♠9♣
Brandon Eisen: 8♠8♦
Wysotchanski had run into top set for the second straight hand, but this time he spiked the 9♥ on the turn to make a higher set. The 9♦ river improved him to quads and he got some of his chips back.
With J♠6♠, Paul Gibbons raised the button to 120,000 and only Chih Fan defended out of the big blind holding A♦4♠.
Fan knuckled the action over to Gibbons on the 7♥3♠6♣ flop, and Gibbons bet 100,000. Fan meticulously gathered together a check-raise to 265,000, which Gibbons immediately called.
Fam slowed down and checked the 6♥ turn, allowing Gibbons to bet 250,000. Fan folded, and Gibbons won the pot.
Jesse Simon made it 120,000 under the gun with Joey Padron calling from the next seat, Tony Gregg calling from middle poisiton, and Alen Tenorio defending his big blind.
When it checked to Simon on the 3♥5♥6♠ flop, he bet 225,000, which was only called by Tenorio.
The 6♥ landed on the turn, and after about thirty seconds, Tenorio picked up chips and began to extend his hand toward the middle, preparing to bet. A split-second before he was able to place the chips down, Simon declared, “All in.”
The floor was called, and it was ruled that Simon’s action would stand only if Tenorio checked, but could be retracted if Tenorio bet. Visibly confused by the events, Tenorio ultimately chose to check, locking in Simon’s all-in for 635,000.
Visibly confused by the turn of events, Tenorio folded. Simon revealed 7x7x and was subsequently given a one-round penalty for acting out of turn. He apologized to the table, explaining that he believed Tenorio had already bet and thought he was moving all in over the top immediately after.
Mitchell Hynam opened to 140,000 in middle position and Don Carrillo defended in the big blind.
Carrillo checked on the flop 3♦7♣6♣ and Hynam continued for 100,000. Carrillo check-raised to 500,000 and Hynam responded by three-bet jamming a stack of around 4,080,000. Carrillo called with a bigger stack.
Don Carrillo: K♥K♦
Mitchell Hynam: 9♣8♣
Carrillo had a big draw but the board finished out J♦8♥ as Hynam's kings stayed ahead for a huge double.
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.
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.
Sebastian Schulze opened K♦K♣ from middle position and Mounir Tajiou called in the small blind holding A♠J♣. Seungmook Jung also called in the big blind with 9♣7♦.
They saw a flop of 6♣10♦J♠, which checked to Schulze. He threw out a bet of 270,000 with his overpair, and Tajiou called with top pair. Jung did have a gutshot, but didn't want to tangle and folded.
On the 4♠ turn, Tajiou check-called a bet of 960,000 to see the 5♠ hit the river. Again Tajiou checked, then Schulze unleashed a bet of 1,800,000. Tajou had 4,400,000 behind and needed a lot of time to think about it before he acted. Eventually, Tajiou did call and mucked when he saw the bad news.
Schulze's stack climbed to well over 15,000,000 after that hand.
