Jun Obara attempted to raise from the small blind, but put in only a single chip, meaning that the action was deemed a call, Martin Zamani then checked his option in the big blind.
Action was picked back up on the turn, with 650,000 chips in the pot. The board read J♣A♣Q♥3♠ and Obara bet out, only to see Zamani shove with a hugely covering stack. Without much thought, Obara made the call.
Jun Obara: A♦10♦
Martin Zamani: Q♦3♦
Zamani was way in the lead, but didn't see his stack cross the eight-figure mark as the A♥ river gave his opponent trips, saving Obara in the event.

Action picked up on the river to a completed board of 4♣2♠2♥4♥3♦ with a little over 1,000,000 in the middle in a hand between Khoi Le Nguyen from the small blind and Sam Soverel from the big blind.
Nguyen led with a bet of 1,000,000 and Soverel called fairly quick. He got the bad news as Nguyen tabled 4♠4♦ for turned quads, as Soverel showed the 2♦ as he had a full house himself in a cooler scenario.

Alexandre Reard opened the hijack to 160,000 before Shaun Deeb three-bet to 475,000 from the cutoff. In the big blind, Martin Zamani cold four-bet to 1,200,000 and Reard quickly folded.
"How much are you playing, Martin?" Deeb inquired.
Zamani laughed and replied, "I don't know," before Deeb jammed for 5,275,000, and Zamani called as the covering stack.
Shaun Deeb: A♥Q♠
Martin Zamani: A♣K♦
"I just can't fold to you," Deeb admitted as the 5♦5♣3♥ flop brought some chop-outs for Deeb. However, it was not meant to be as the board ran out 4♠10♥ and Deeb was eliminated by Zamani who has vaulted himself into the chip lead.

Jun Obara: A♥Q♠
Roesel couldn't find another chop, or a double, as the K♠9♥J♥4♣6♥ runout kept his opponent in the lead the entire way, sending him to the rail.
