Tony Gregg limped in the small blind and Maksim Pisarenko checked to the K♣10♦7♠ flop. Gregg bet 1,000,000 and Pisarenko called to the 4♦ turn.
Gregg then bet 3,000,000 and Pisarenko called to see the board pair on the 10♥ river. Gregg slowed down and checked, and Pisarenko took a minute before betting 3,200,000. Gregg took an equally long time to fold and dropped to the shortest stack at the table once more.
Joey Padron raised to 1,600,000 with Q♥Q♦ in the hijack and Joseph Ozimok three-bet to 6,500,000 in the small blind with A♥A♦. Padron just called and the dealer fanned the flop of Q♣J♠9♠ giving him a set of queens.
Ozimok started with a check and Padron dropped in a bet of 7,500,000. Ozimok called and the 8♦ rolled off on the turn. Both players checked and the 6♦ completed the board. Ozimok checked one more time and Padron slid out a bet of 10,000,000. Ozimok mulled it over for a couple of minutes but eventually found the correct laydown.

Michael Mizrachi is best known as ‘The Grinder,’ but Rocky may well be just as fitting after staging a remarkable comeback from near elimination during a stunning session of poker on Day 8 of the WSOP Main Event.
The action folded around to Joseph Ozimok in the small blind who ripped all in as the covering stack. Daniel Iachan was in the big blind and eyed the tournament clock. After a couple of minutes, Iachan called off his stack of 9,400,000 and the cards were face up.
Daniel Iachan: Q♦9♠
Joseph Ozimok: K♦10♠
The flop of A♥6♣3♣ connected with neither player, leaving Ozimok's king-high in the lead. However, the Q♣ on the turn sent Iachan out front with a pair of queens and the Q♠ on the river secured his double up.
In a checked pot between the blinds, Braxton Dunaway bet 1,000,000 on the flop of A♠K♦10♥ and Kenny Hallaert called.
Dunaway then checked on the K♣ turn and Hallaert checked back. Dunaway bet 1,800,000 on the 7♣ river and Hallaert folded.
Braxton Dunaway raised to 1,600,000 in the cutoff and Michael Mizrachi called in the big blind.
The flop came J♠10♠5♥ and Dunaway bet 1,300,000. Mizrachi called and both players checked through the 6♦ turn.
Dunaway bet again on the A♦ river, putting in 2,600,000. Mizrachi let out a laugh and took a minute before calling with J♣8♠, but Dunaway had A♥K♦ to win the pot.
Braxton Dunaway opened to 1,600,000 in the hijack and Sergio Veloso called on the button. Tony Gregg then three-bet jammed a stack of 8,800,000 from the big blind with Q♠Q♦. Dunaway folded 4♥4♦, while Veloso also got rid of K♦10♦ and Gregg took the pot.
Michael Mizrachi opened to 1,700,000 on the button with A♥3♠ and Maksim Pisarenko called in the big blind.
Pisarenko checked on the flop of K♥4♥2♣ and Mizrachi bet 1,500,000. Pisarenko called and the Q♦ fell on the turn.
Pisarenko checked again and Mizrachi bet 4,000,000. Pisarenko folded 5♦3♦.
Ruben Correia opened to 1,600,000 in middle position with A♦Q♣ and John Wasnock three-bet to 4,200,000 in the cutoff with 5♣4♣. Lautaro Guerra four-bet shoved all in for 13,600,000 with A♣Q♠ which got both Correia and Wasnock to fold.
On the next hand, Correia raised to 1,600,000 again with A♣10♥. Joey Padron three-bet to 4,200,000 in the cutoff and Daehyung Lee four-bet ripped all in for 12,300,000 in the big blind. Correia folded again but Padron flicked in the chip to call.
Daehyung Lee: K♥K♣
Joey Padron: 9♥9♣
The flop came A♦K♠5♣ which ruined all sweat possibilities with Lee making a set of kings. The 7♦ on the turn left Padron drawing dead to the 5♦ on the river.
Michael Mizrachi raised to 1,700,000 in the hijack and Leo Margets called in the big blind. On the 9♣9♥6♦ flop, Margets checked and then folded when Mizrachi bet.
Sergio Veloso then opened to 1,600,000 from an early position with A♦3♦ and Braxton Dunaway defended his big blind to the 8♠3♣2♠ flop. The check by the chip leader triggered a bet of 2,400,000, and that won the pot for Veloso as Dunaway folded A♣6♦.
Maksim Pisarenko then opened to 1,700,000 with A♠9♥ and Leo Margets on the button three-bet to 4,000,000 holding A♣J♦. The action folded back to Pisarenko and he carefully checked his stack before reluctantly folding.
