Yuanzhi Cao raised from the small blind to 400,000, and Guy Naimi three-bet for all of Cao's chips from the big blind, for 1,950,000, and Cao paused for a second and then called.
Yuanzhi Cao: K♥7♣ 
Guy Naimi: A♥5♦
The board fell out with Q♠4♦Q♦2♦K♣, and two pair would win for Cao.
A few of the other players at the table gushed, "What a river," and "That was gutsy."

Felix Weis opened for 325,000 in hijack and got a three-bet shove all-in from the small blind, Julian Bonorris, for 1,800,000. Big blind Kyle Julius announced all-in right after for around 2,090,000 sending Weis to the tank. Weis asked for a count then folded his hand leaving the blinds to go to showdown.
Julian Bonorris: A♥J♥
Kyle Julius: A♣J♦
Weis groaned in regret for not calling after seeing that both players had the same hand. The board ran 4♥K♦Q♠K♥6♣ with no fuss. The dealer split the pot between the two players who looked quite relieved to continue with no consequence.

Nishant Sharma opened to 325,000 in middle position and got called by the big blind Peter Walsworth leading them to the flop.
The flop came 4♦Q♥5♥. Walsworth checked and Sharma continued with 375,000. Walsworth raised to 1,100,000 prompting Sharma to respond with an all-in shove for 2,470,000. Walsworth snap-called.
Nishant Sharma: A♥J♥
Peter Walsworth: 10♥3♥
Walsworth silently commented he didn't expect that hand from Sharma which nullifies his outs for a flush draw. The turn A♦ improved Sharma's hand with a pair and the river K♦ was dealt with no consequence. Sharma bit a big chunk of Walsworth chips for a double up.

Yuanzhi Cao raised to 320,000 from the hijack and action the folded to Frank Stepuchin in the big blind. Stepuchin took some time to survey the situation before announcing he was all in for 2,300,000. Cao made the immediate call, and the cards were turned over.
Frank Stepuchin: A♣3♦
Yuanzhi Cao: Q♠Q♦
The flop offered immediate relief for Stepuchin, as the dealer spread out A♥7♦4♠.
The 10♣ turn was then added to the board, keeping things as they were.
Cao had just two outs to regain the lead, and the deck obliged, as the Q♣ completed the board.
Stepuchin took a photo of the runout before heading to the exit, and Cao pulled in the huge pot.

Konstantinos Tsikopoulos raised from early position to 240,000, and Jeffrey Tanouye called from the small blind. The flop was 4♥Q♠9♠, and both players checked.
On the turn 6♠, Tanouye bet out 155,000, Tsikopoulos raised to 900,000, and Tanouye moved all of his chips into the pot for 1,950,000. Tsikopoulos called to find out the bad news. Tanouye held the nut flush.
Jeffrey Tanouye: A♠6♠
Konstantinos Tsikopoulos: A♦8♠
The river Q♥ did not affect the outcome, and Tanouye enjoyed a nice pot.
