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."
Kasparas Klezys raised in the cutoff to 85,000. Marius Kaiser three-bet to 280,000. Klezys called.
The flop came 10♠6♥5♣. Kaiser bet 180,000. Klezys raised to put Kaiser all-in for roughly 250,000 more and he called.
Marius Kaiser: A♣J♦5♦5♣
Kasparas Klezys: A♠8♠8♣7♦
The board ran out 4♣A♥, and Kaiser doubled with a full house.
On the very next hand, action was picked up as Marius Kaiser was all-in against Nacho Barbero on a flop of 6♣5♣9♥.
Marius Kaiser: A♣A♥Q♦J♣
Nacho Barbero: Q♣Q♥8♣5♥
The board ran 4♣10♣, and Kaiser doubled again but this time with a bigger flush.
Shortly after losing with aces against aces, Renji Mao moved his last 110,000 into the middle. Mao immediately found protection from Tony Sinishtaj, who three-bet to 230,000. The rest of the table folded, leaving Mao at risk heads-up.
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.
Jianqiang Yu limped in from under the gun. Shrey Maheshwary and Jose Nadal did the same from the cutoff and button, respectively. Andrew Ostapchenko checked his option.
Four players saw a flop of 5♠9♥J♥ which checked over to Jose Nadal. He opted to bet out for 75,000, and only Ostapchenko got rid of his cards. The 3♣ turn checked through, bringing in the K♦ river. Yu checked, Maheshwary bet out for 200,000, and Nadal folded. Yu clearly had a tough decision, but he eventually landed on a call.
Maheshwary showed Q♠10♣5♣3♠ for the nut straight, and Yu showed QxQx for two blockers to said straight.
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.
Action was folded to Renji Mao who raised in the small blind to 85,000. Thomas Mosier called in the big blind.
Both players checked when the flop came 5♣Q♠5♠.
Mao decided to bet 200,000 when the 6♣ hit the turn, which forced Mosier to fold quickly.
Renji Mao limped in under the gun, and Kasparas Klezys did the same from the small blind. Nacho Barbero checked his option.
The 3♣7♠K♥ flop checked through. Barbero then led out when checked to on the 3♠ turn, with Mao his only caller. The 7♦ river checked through. Barbero showed A♠J♦ but was beaten by the Q♠Q♦6♣6♠ of Mao.
Anik Ajmera checked the A♦3♦6♣ flop in the big blind, and Jonathan Hanner slid out a bet of 100,000 from under the gun.
Ajmera called to see the J♣ turn, where both players checked. The dealer then revealed the 10♥ river, and Ajmera slid out a bet of 125,000.
Hanner folded instantly, and Ajmera took back his bet before the dealer could even count it.
Paul Gunness raised in the cutoff to 75,000. Jonathan Bomba called on the button and the blinds folded.
Gunness bet 75,000 on a flop of 3♠6♣3♥. Bomba called. Both players checked when the A♦ hit the turn and Gunness bet 250,000 on the 9♥ river.
Bomba, after a few seconds, made the call. Gunness quickly flashed his cards and mucked, and Bomba tabled the winning hand with K♣J♠J♣5♣.
