Holding J♣10♦, Stephen Hesse raised to 135,000 from under the gun and only Murilo Milhomem called from the button with K♥10♥.
Hesse checked the 7♠K♦8♠ flop, and Milhomem chose to check behind. The 5♥ rolled off on the turn, and Hesse led out for 160,000. Milhomem decided to call.
Hesse took a while, then checked the 2♠ river. Milhomem bet 275,000 with his pair of kings, and Hesse let go of his hand.
Richard Green jammed from under the gun for 430,000 and he forced several folds. That was until Guy Holtzman on the button moved all-in over the top, forcing out both blinds in Will Kassouf and Hieu Le.
Richard Green: K♦Q♦
Guy Holtzman: A♦K♣
The K♥Q♠5♠ flop vaulted Green into the lead and he further improved to a full house with the Q♥ turn. Holtzman needed the case king to chop but the 5♥ river put a dent into his shorter stack.
Christian Valladolid opened to 120,000 from under the gun and Jose Bogarin called in middle position.
Action folded to Rene-Charles Angelil in the small blind, who three-bet jammed a stack of around 1,200,000. Both opponents folded as the son of pop superstar Celine Dion lived to see another day.
Bradley Jansen raised to 125,000 from middle position with J♦10♦ and Leo Margets three-bet to 400,000 holding A♦7♦ from the cutoff. When it got back to Jansen, he called.
Jansen checked when the 6♦4♣A♠ flop fell, and Margets continued with a bet of 175,000. Jansen let go of his jack-high, and Margets pulled in the pot.
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.
