Chip Counts
Brian Murphy raised to 1,200 on the button, and Kevin Hammer defended his big blind.
Both players checked all the way to the river on a board of Q♣8♣3♥K♦10♦ before Hammer led out for 2,000. Murphy flashed the A♠ as he folded, and Hammer dragged in the pot.
Iurii Senchylo opened to 1,100 from early position before Thomas Cazayous came along from middle position. Tyler Cornell called on the button, and Alex Petrosian joined the party with a call from the big blind.
A round of checks greeted the 3♠4♣3♥ flop, which led to the 6♦ turn. Petrosian took the lead with a bet of 1,500. Senchylo called, while Cazayous folded.
Cornell responded with a re-raise to 6,000, which garnered folds from Petrosiana and Senchylo to take down the pot on the turn.
Vlastimil Pustina opened from late position, and Collin Ball shoved for 4,300 from the big blind. Pustina put in the call.
Collin Ball: 2♠2♦
Vlastimil Pustina: 10♦7♦
The A♦8♦Q♦ flop pretty much wrapped things up, and Pustina hit a mega-flush for good measure, with the 4♦J♦ runout securing his opponents elimination.
Joining the action with 23,500 in the pot, and a completed board showing 9♣10♥6♠8♠A♠, Jan Sanchez bet 11,000 from under the gun. Espen Oeye raised to 31,000 a couple of seats to his left, which sent Sanchez deep into the tank.
After several minutes had passed, and Sanchez seemed no closer to a decision, another player at the table called the clock.
With about 15 seconds left to decide, Sanchez tossed his cards into the muck.
"Good fold, professional fold," Oeye told Sanchez, who neglected to respond.
Tsang Jean opened to 1,200 from the hijack and Banipal Babana called on the button. Hector Hernandez Olivares defended his big blind and the players went three-ways to the flop.
The 8♦A♦7♦ flop saw action check to Babana who moved out 1,300. Only Jean called.
A 8♠ turn was Jean check-call a 3,600 bet by Babana and the 6♥ completed the board.
Both checked to showdown with Jean showing A♠3♦ for top two pair. Babana mucked his hand and passed the small pot to Jean.
Charles Waterstreet moved all in for 1,900 from early position, and Mark Allen gave him a spin in the big blind.
Charles Waterstreet: A♣7♦
Mark Allen: 5♥4♥
Waterstreet had it wrapped up on the 9♠10♣9♥7♣ turn, and was paid his double-up once the K♠ hit the river.
Curtis Nare in the big blind, Vitalijs Korhs in middle position, and Daniel Weinman on the button, all checked the turn on a board of 9♥2♦K♣10♣.
The 8♥ completed the board, and Nare led out for 6,100. Korhs and Weinman both called.
Nare tabled J♥9♣ for a pair of nines. Weinman quickly revealed K♠9♠ for two pair, kings and nines, which proved to be the best hand as he dragged in the pot.
Leonardo Tononi opened to 1,200 from under the gun and Nikita Kuznetsov three-bet to 4,000 from the cutoff. Tononi was the only caller, and the players went to the 2♣9♥3♥ flop.
Tononi checked, Kuznetsov bet 6,300 and Tononi made a quick call to see the 9♠ turn.
Kuznetsov bet 17,000 into Tononi after seeing his opponent check the turn, and it was too much for Tononi and he mucked his hand.
The pot had grown to approximately 20,000 on the J♠10♦K♠6♥3♠ runout.
Jordan McKnight chose to bet 11,000 from the big blind, but Itay Shaull had other ideas. Shaull shipped it for 54,100.
McKnight asked for a count, and after some thought, he chose to fold as Shaull won a significant pot.
