: Blinds 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante
Hayato Kitajima went all in from the cutoff with just over 10,000,000 in chips. Kieran Walsh called from the big blind.
Hayato Kitajima: 4♥4♠
Kieran Walsh: A♠J♥
The runout of 4♦8♦7♦6♥5♥ looked good for Kitajima early, not so good late, as the straight on the board resulted in a chopped pot, as opposed to a double-up.

Hertsel Levy raised to 4,000,000 from the button and was called by Nelson Mari Sanchez in the big blind.
The dealer fanned a 8♥J♣Q♠ flop. Sanchez checked, Levy bet 2,500,000, and Sanchez called.
The turn was the 2♣, Sanchez checked again, this time Levy bet 7,000,000, and Sanchez made the call.
The river card was the 4♦, Sanchez checked for a third time. Levy decided to bet 15,000,000. Sanchez thought about his options for a moment, did some inventory of his chip stack, and eventually stuck in the call. Levy tossed his cards into the muck, and Sanchez dragged in a nice pot as his stack continued to grow.
