Mike Leah raised to 90,000 from under the gun, and Max Stenberg called from the small blind. The board came out with 10♥9♥K♦. Leah, who was sitting on a short stack, needed to make a move. Stenberg bet out 100,000, and Leah called for his last 90,000.
Mike Leah: K♠K♣7♠5♦
Max Stenberg: K♥Q♦J♥9♣
Leah was behind with his set of kings heading to the turn, as Stenberg flopped the straight. The turn J♦ and the river A♥ made it even worse for Leah as Stenberg hit the flush for the win.

All the chips went in the middle on a flop 6♣4♠9♣ between Billy Tarango, at risk for his last 223,000, and Shen Liang, who had him covered:
Billy Tarango: K♣4♣4♦2♣
Shen Liang: 7♦7♣5♣3♦
The 9♦ and the K♠ completed the board, and Tarango flopped a set and turned a full house to double his stack.
Action was folded around to Colten Yamagishi in late position who raised the pot to 35,000, only for Guan Huang in the cutoff to three-bet pot to put himself all-in. Yamagishi snap called.
Guan Huang: A♥K♠J♥J♦
Colten Yamagishi: A♠A♦K♦2♥
No help on the 5♥4♣9♦ flop for Huang, and the 5♦ on the turn didn't change matters. The 9♠ on the river wrapped things up, and he was sent to the rail.
Bart Lybaert opened to 20,000 under the gun. Action folded to the big blind Shachaf Sholdman, who called to see a flop.
The dealer unfurled K♦9♥2♥. After a check, Lybaert continued with another 39,000 and got called once again.
Sholdman checked the turn 8♥. Lybaert kept the pressure with a 50,000 bet, which was enough to take the pot down.
In a heads-up pot, the flop read 3♦6♠Q♦, and Matt Glantz checked to Marvin Flores, who bet 60,000. Glantz made the call.
The turn showed the 2♠, and Glantz announced pot for 216,000. Flores shoved, and Glantz called all in for 203,000 more:
Matt Glantz: 5♣4♦3♣2♦
Marvin Flores: K♥K♣10♠6♥
Glantz was ahead with two pair and a wrap. The 5♥ landed on the river, and Glantz received the pot and the double up with a straight.
Level: 18
Blinds: 5,000/10,000
Ante: 10,000
Ricardo Alvarado limped in middle position. Fabian Fernandez raised to 27,000 and when action folded back to him, Alvarado called to see the flop.
The flop dropped 3♦Q♥9♣ and both players checked. On the 5♣ turn, Alvarado fired 55,000 and got called by Fernandez.
On the river A♥, after a check, Fernandez bet 130,000 sending Alvarado to the tank. With only 174,000 behind, Alvarado was uncertain whether to call. He separated chips for a call but ultimately folded his hand and conceded the pot to Fernandez.
Dylan Smith raised from early position to 36,000, Ludovic Geilich called from the button, and Liang Su also came along from the big blind to witness the board. The flop was 10♣6♥2♣ and all players checked.
The turn Q♥ brought another check from Su, but Smith bet out 75,000, and Geilich called. Su pulled the check-raise and bet 350,000, and only Smith made the call.
On the river 3♥, Su checked, and Smith didn't waste much time and moved all in for his last 289,000. Su went into the think tank and made the call.
Smith quickly tabled: K♥K♦J♥10♦ for a flush, and Su mucked.
