Maksim Pisarenko raised to 2,200,000 in early position and Jarod Minghini three-bet to 5,600,000 in middle position. Pisarenko folded.
Kenny Hallaert then opened to 2,300,000 in middle position and Pisarenko three-bet to 6,500,000 in the small blind with A♠10♣. Minghini picked up A♦Q♦ in the big blind and moved all in for 23,400,000, and both opponents folded.
Adam Hendrix raised to 2,000,000 from under the gun with K♥Q♦ and Joey Padron defended from the big blind with A♠2♥. The flop came A♣9♣8♦ and Padron checked to Hendrix who bet 1,800,000. Padron threw in a total of 2,800,000 but it was determined to just be a call.
The A♦ paired the board on the turn and Padron checked again. Hendrix put together a bet of 7,000,000 and Padron stuck around for the 6♠ on the river. Both players quickly checked and Padron scooped the pot with three aces.
Luka Bojovic raised to 2,000,000 in early position and Daniel Iachan ripped all in for 14,100,000 in the big blind. Bojovic instantly called and the cards were on their backs.
Daniel Iachan: 9♣9♦
Luka Bojovic: A♠K♠
The flop came 6♦2♣2♦ and Iachan's pair of nines were still in the lead. However, the A♣ on the turn brought devastation to Iachan who was down to just two outs. The 7♠ completed the board and Bojovic took down the flip to eliminate Iachan.

Level 37 Highlights
Luka Bojovic opened to 2,000,000 in middle position with K♥10♥ and was called by Joey Padron in the hijack with K♠J♠ and Joseph Ozimok in the big blind with A♥9♥.
The flop came 9♣6♥2♦ and the action checked to Padron who threw in a bet of 1,500,000. Ozimok check-raised to 4,800,000 which prompted a snap-fold from Bojovic. Padron also sent his cards into the muck and Ozimok collected the last pot before dinner break.
The action folded around to Adam Hendrix in the small blind who announced all in. Lautaro Guerra was in the big blind with 10,500,000 and stuck in the last of his chips.
Lautaro Guerra: Q♦J♣
Adam Hendrix: J♠7♦
Guerra was in a dominating position heading to a flop of 8♣8♦5♥ which left it that way. The 5♠ on the turn provided some chop outs but it was the 10♦ on the river that gave Guerra a double up.
Lautaro Guerra opened to 2,000,000 from under the gun with A♠Q♦ and was called by Joey Padron with J♠10♠ and Adam Hendrix with 3♠3♥ in the blinds. The flop came K♣10♣3♣ and the action checked around to the 2♠ on the turn.
Padron checked again and Hendrix put together a bet of 3,300,000 with his set of threes. Guerra quickly folded but Padron stuck around for the K♠ on the river. Padron checked for the third time and Hendrix slid out a bet of 11,500,000. Padron put aside the chips to call and eventually slid them into the middle. Hendrix tabled his full house and dragged in a healthy pot.
Kenny Hallaert opened to 2,200,000 on the button with A♣10♠ and Sergio Veloso and Michael Mizrachi came along from the blinds.
Veloso checked on the flop of J♥K♦3♥ and Mizrachi led out for 2,000,000. Hallaert called and Veloso also called.
Veloso checked again on the 4♥ turn and Mizrachi bet 4,000,000. Hallaert folded and Veloso called. Veloso checked once more on the 8♣ river and Mizrachi checked back before showing J♠3♠ for two pair. Veloso mucked K♥10♣.
