Shrey Maheshwary opened the betting with a raise to 75,000 under the gun. Both Jose Nadal and Jianqiang Yu put in the call as they went off to a A♦K♣J♥ flop. Here, Yu checked, Maheshwary bet 60,000, and both other players called.
The 8♠ turn checked through, as did the 2♠ river. Yu showed Kx8x7x3x announcing, "Three pair!"
Maheshwary tabled AxJx for a better two pair as he was prepared to take the pot, but his eyes rolled as Nadal showed AxKx8x6x for what the dealer referred to as, "best two pair."

Renji Mao: K♠Q♠J♣4♦
Tony Sinishtaj: A♠A♦6♣4♣
Mao smirked as he saw Sinishtaj catch a set on the 3♦7♠A♣ flop, improving to a full house on the 3♥ turn. The dealer completed the board with the 8♠ river, sending Mao to the rail in 21st place.

Nacho Barbero opened to 85,000 in the cutoff, and Renji Mao replied by three-betting the pot on the button. Action folded back around to Barbero, who four-bet the pot again to 905,000. Mao moved all in, and Barbero quickly called.
Nacho Barbero: A♠A♦9♠6♠
Renji Mao: A♣A♥6♠2♥
Neither player was surprised to see all four aces turned over, and the K♥9♦K♠ flop left Barbero with a better draw. The 5♠ turn also brought Barbero a flush draw, which was completed on the 8♠ river.
Barbero scored the big double-up, while Mao was left with crumbs.
