Ihar Soika raised to 60,000 from the cutoff. Zdenek Zizka, on the button, moved all-in. Soika called and was at risk.
Ihar Soika: A♥Q♥
Zdenek Zizka: Ax7♥
Soika started out ahead and stayed that way after turning a pair of queens in a runout of 5♠J♥8♣Q♣J♣.
Kristen Foxen opened to 50,000 in the hijack, and Zachary Camp called in the cutoff. Sam Soverel then responded with a three-bet jam for 295,000 from the big blind, which saw Foxen fold A♣7♠, but Camp called.
Sam Soverel: A♠J♥
Zachary Camp: A♦10♣
The 7♣5♦5♥ flop kept Soverel ahead, and the 2♠ turn followed by the 6♠ river sealed the deal, seeing him pull in a nice pot on the bubble.
With the bubble looming large, Didier Guerin opened to 50,000 from under the gun, which Emilien Pitavy called in the hijack. Ryuta Nakai then responded with a three-bet jam for 410,000, which got two quick folds.
Alex Foxen opened to 50,000 in early position and faced a three-bet from Shannon Shorr in the small blind, who made it 525,000. Foxen responded by moving his 525,000 stack into the middle, putting himself at risk.
Alex Foxen: Q♥Q♦
Shannon Shorr: A♣K♠
Poker's classic flip quickly became a one-sided affair, as Foxen was left with just one out on the 6♠7♠A♠ flop.
Foxen hit the post on the J♣ turn card, but missed completely on the 8♥ river, taking the field one place closer to the money.
Jesse Lonis opened to 55,000 from under the gun, and called when Edward Pak moved all in for 100,000 from the big blind.
Edward Pak: A♣10♠
Jesse Lonis: J♣10♣
The 2♥J♦Q♣ flop was bad news for Pak, as Lonis took the lead, but the K♠ turn quickly righted the ship as Pak improved to Broadway.
The Q♠ river was inconsequential, and Pak survived with a double up.
Alex Foxen opened in the cutoff to 60,000 with A♣4♣, and, one seat to his left, Chahnhoon Jung responded with a three-bet to 225,000, leaving just 5,000 behind. The action returned to Foxen, who took some time before returning his cards to the dealer.
