Brandon Wilson opened to 22,000 on the button and Artur Martirosian defended the big blind.

The 4♠9♣7♦ flop was check-called by Martirosian after Wilson bet 60,000.

A 3♥ was turned and Martirosian checked. Wildon bet 105,000 and Martirosian used a time bank before calling.

The J♠ fell on the river and both checked to showdown. Martirosian turned over his A♥7♥ for a pair of sevens which was just pipped by Wilson's Q♠9♠ for a pair of nines.

Stephen Chidwick raised to 22,000 in middle position, and Neil Warren called in the big blind.

Both players checked when the flop came 8♠10♣5♥. Warren decided to lead for 30,000 on the 3♣ turn, and Chidwick just called.

Warren bet again on the 6♣ river, and Chidwick quickly checked his hole cards, waited for around 29 seconds before putting Warren all in. Warren reluctantly picked up his chips, put them in the middle, and quickly tabled his hand of 4♠2♠, but could not beat the nut flush of Chidwick, who tabled A♣7♣.

Play was picked up with roughly 55,000 in the pot and a 7♦Q♠6♦ flop face up on the felt.

The action was on Alex Foxen in the big blind, and he checked over to his wife, Kristen Foxen, in the cutoff. Kristen bet 20,000, and quickly faced a check-raise to 60,000, which she called.

Alex continued for 75,000 on the 2♠ turn, and again, Kristen called.

The 6♠ river completed the backdoor flush, and Alex chose to check. Kristen responded by betting 200,000, which put Alex deep into the tank. After utilizing a time extension, he elected to fold.

"Choose one," Kristen said, as she slid her cards face down towards Alex, who peeled the J♠.

"I knew I made the right decision; the K♦ would have been painful to see," Alex surmised.

Alex Foxen opened to 22,000 on the button, and Kristen Foxen defended her big blind.

The 5♥Q♥8♣ flop was checked by both to see the A♥ turn Kristen check-called a 36,000 bet by Alex to get to the 10♠ river. Kristen checked, and Alex bet 78,000. Kristen remarked, "You never check back...Show one?"

After Kristen mucked her hand, she peeled one of Alex's cards to show the J♦. She then quickly flashed the second card, showing the A♦. She continued to say, "You're so lucky, I had a really good hand."

The pair continued to discuss the action throughout the next orbit, with Alex suggesting he could guess Kristen's hand, "Right down to the suit."

Level 9 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Clemen Deng raised to 20,000 chips from under the gun. The action folded around to the recently reentered Chance Kornuth, who moved all in with 130,000 from the small blind.

After Martin Kabrhel got out of the way in the big blind, Deng called.

Chance Kornuth: 5♣5♠All in
Clemen Deng: A♦J♣

Kabrhel's declaration that Deng would win the race proved prophetic as the chip leader at the table paired his ace on the flop and ended with two pair in a runout of 10♦3♣A♥K♣J♦.

It was Deng's second knockout in less than 30 minutes of play.
