Richard Harroch waited patiently, but now the time had come for him to go all-in for his last 800,000 under the gun. Action folded to Davis Modans on the button, who raised the pot to 3,300,000, but nobody else wanted to join the party, and the cards went on their backs.
Richard Harroch: A♠10♠7♥4♠
Davis Modans: A♦K♦Q♥9♠
Harroch was behind, but the board ran out 2♥5♣K♠3♠7♦, giving Harroch a straight and a much-needed double-up.
In the very next hand, the same two opponents clashed again, and Harroch was all-in pre-flop once more.
Richard Harroch: K♣K♥8♣3♣
Davis Modans: J♥10♥5♦3♦
This time, Harroch was ahead, and he stayed there as the board showed 7♥K♠9♣A♣A♠, giving Harroch a full house and another still-needed double-up.

Frankie C also talked about being married to poker pro Kitty Kuo, being a dad, his new All-In Brownie, challenging Daniel Negreanu to a $10,000 heads-up poker match and stepping into the ring with UFC champion Sean "Suga" O'Malley.

Lawrence Brandt opened from under the gun for 1,900,000, leaving himself just 100,000 behind. Action folded around to Davis Modans in the small blind, who raised to 5,300,000. The big blind got out of the way, and Brandt called off his last chip to put himself at risk.
Lawrence Brandt: A♠9♠3♠3♥
Davis Modans: 10♥8♦5♥4♦
Brandt held the lead with a pair of threes, but the board came 7♦J♠10♠K♣5♣, giving Modans two pair and ending Brandt’s tournament run.

Carlos De Lima raised to 1,500,000 from the middle position and Sean Chen was the only one to make the call from the small blind.
They both checked through the 3♦5♠7♦ flop to the 9♦ on the turn. Chen bet 2,500,000 for De Lima to come along.
The 10♥ completed the board. Chen barreled a bet of 6,500,000 for De Lima to call without any hesitation. Chen tabled the A♦K♥K♠4♠ for the overpair for De Lima to show the Q♦2♦ first for the flush with the A♠10♣ alongside it.

Lukas Hafner raised to 2,100,000 under the gun. It folded to Lawrence Brandt in the small blind, who three-bet to 6,900,000. Hafner spent some time in the tank before he called, leaving 2,600,000 behind.
Brandt moved all in before he even saw the 5♦7♦Q♥ flop. Hafner quickly called off, revealing the cards.
Lukas Hafner: K♦Q♦J♠7♠
Lawrence Brandt: A♥A♣10♠3♠
Hafner had flopped two pair to take the lead. Brandt made a set on the A♦ turn, but it also gave Hafner a flush. Brandt needed the board to pair to eliminate his opponent, but the 6♥ river did not do so.
Hafner doubled up, leaving Brandt with just over three big blinds in his stack.

Action folded to Carlos De Lima in the small blind, and he limped in. Ferenc Deak raised it up to 1,800,000 from the big blind, and De Lima made the call.
The flop came 9♣Q♥Q♠, and after Deak continued for 800,000, De Lima check-raised to 2,500,000. Deak called.
On the 10♦ turn, De Lima kept the pressure on with a bet of 3,000,000, and once again Deak made the call to see the 3♠ river.
Both players slowed down and checked, and Deak revealed K♠J♥J♣3♦ for a straight. It was more than enough, and he dragged in the pot.
