Daehyung Lee 8♠8♥ raised to 1,200,000 in early position and Daniel Iachan J♥10♥ called on the button as Braxton Dunaway A♥10♣ defended his big blind.
Dunaway and Lee checked on the flop of J♣9♣5♦ and Iachan bet 1,500,000. Only Lee called.
Lee checked again on the 5♣ turn and Iachan bet again to bring a fold from his opponent.
The action folded around to Diego Ponce in the small blind who shoved all in as the bigger stack. Chris Dombrowski was in the big blind and woke up with a monster, calling off his stack of 7,700,000.
Chris Dombrowski: K♥K♦
Diego Ponce: 10♣10♦
Dombrowski had the better of the two pocket pairs, leaving Ponce drawing to just two outs. The board ran out Q♦9♥7♠4♠A♦ and Dombrowski held on for a double up.
Luka Bojovic raised to 1,200,000 in early position and picked up calls from Stefan Nemetz on the button, and big blind Joseph Ozimok.
All three players checked the 4♣3♦2♣ flop. Bojovic then bet 2,200,000 on the 4♠ turn and only Nemetz called.
The river was the 8♥ and Bojovic bet 900,000. Nemetz took a minute before calling, tossing the chips over to Bojovic as if he was already surrendering the pot before the cards were even revealed. Bojovic turned over 7♥7♣ and Nemetz mucked A♦9♦.
John Wasnock A♣5♥ called in the small blind, then Daniel Iachan 8♠4♣ raised to 2,100,000 in the big blind. Wasnock called.
Wasnock bet 2,400,000 on the flop of J♣4♦3♥ and Iachan called. Wasnock then bet 4,500,000 on the K♠ and Iachan laid it down.
Richard Freitas raised to 1,200,000 in the hijack with J♥J♦ and Adam Hendrix just called with A♠Q♦ in the cutoff. They went heads-up to an action flop of A♣K♥J♠ where Freitas started with a check. Hendrix checked it back and the 10♣ peeled off on the turn.
Freitas checked again and Hendrix tossed in a bet of 1,300,000 after improving to a straight. Freitas called and the 6♦ bricked out on the river. Freitas checked one more time and Hendrix reached back for a large bet of 4,800,000. Freitas deliberated for a couple of minutes and then looked him up, only to see the bad news that his flopped set was beat on the turn.
The action folded all the way to Daehyung Lee in the small blind, and he moved all in against the big blind of Michael Mizrachi. The shove was for an effective 4,900,000, and Mizrachi folded.
One hand later, Mizrachi pushed all in from the small blind, and Lautaro Guerra forfeited the big blind.
John Wasnock then opened to 1,300,000 and folded when Guerra jammed his shorter stack.
Daniel Iachan J♣10♣ made it 1,200,000 first to act, and Braxton Dunaway Q♥9♥ three-bet to 3,100,000. It folded back to Iachan, who reluctantly folded.
Sergio Veloso raised to 1,200,000 on the button and Maksim Pisarenko defended J♥10♣ in the big blind.
The flop came A♦Q♣4♠ and Veloso bet 600,000. Pisarenko called and they both checked the 2♣ turn.
The K♦ river improved Pisarenko to a straight and he checked over to Veloso who bet 3,000,000. Pisarenko then check-raised to 8,500,000, sending Veloso deep into the tank. He took a few minutes before tossing away A♣3♣, and Pisarenko took down the pot.
Joey Padron opened to 1,200,000 in middle position with A♣K♣ and Richard Freitas three-bet to 3,000,000 on the button with K♦J♦. Padron just called and the dealer fanned the flop of A♠J♣8♠.
Both players flopped a pair but it was Padron ahead with the better of the two. He checked it over to Freitas who tossed in a bet of 1,200,000. Padron quickly called and the 3♠ landed on the turn.
That slowed the action as both players checked to the 10♥ on the river. Two more checks and Padron turned over the best hand to put another dent in Freitas.
Michael Mizrachi open-jammed a stack of 2,300,000 in early position and Braxton Dunaway called in the big blind to put the seven-time bracelet winner at risk.
Michael Mizrachi: A♦6♠
Braxton Dunaway: A♣7♥
The Grinder was dominated but the board ran out K♥8♠5♠J♠A♠ to give him a flush on the river to earn him a much-needed double.
Lautaro Guerra opened to 1,200,000 in middle position and Kenny Hallaert three-bet to 3,600,000 on the button. John Wasnock then four-bet to 9,000,000 in the small blind to bring folds from both opponents.
