Julien Sitbon opened to 60,000 from the button, and quickly faced a three-bet to 225,000 from Zexiang Sun in the small blind.
When the action returned to Sitbon, he responded by moving all in for 620,000. A tortured-looking Sun spent several minutes in the tank before another player at the table called the clock.
As his allowed time ticked down, Sun released his cards back to the dealer.
Myles Mullaly completed from the small blind and Charles Alex-Barton checked his option out of the big blind.
Mullaly checked it over to Alex-Barton on the 7♦3♠10♣ flop and Alex-Barton bet 30,000. Mullaly made the call.
A round of checks came after a K♥ turn and the K♦ hit the river. Mullaly placed out a minimum bet of his own for 30,000, resulting in a fold from Alex-Barton.
Kamel Mokhammad and Nicholas Seward got the chips in the middle with Seward at risk for approximately 470,000.
Nicholas Seward: 8♥8♦
Kamel Mokhammad: Q♦10♠
Seward was ahead, but that didn't last when the flop fanned out Q♠9♠2♠ to give Mokhammad a pair of queens and a flush draw to go with it, limiting Seward to just one eight in the deck working for him.
The 2♥ turn gave Seward two outs going into the river, but neither of the eights manifested on the 10♥ river, eliminating Seward.
When the action folded to Myles Mullaly in the cutoff, he moved all in for 615,000. Despite some interest from the players behind, once the bet was counted, the rest of the table folded.
The very next shuffle, the action folded to Casey Hatmaker in the small blind, who limped in. Peter Mugar raised to 90,000 from the big blind, only to see Hatmaker three-bet all in for roughly 700,000.
Once again, there was no showdown, as Mugar immediately released his cards back to the dealer.
Ren Lin completed from the small blind and Nicholas Seward checked his option in the big blind.
Both players were happy to check the A♣Q♠Q♣ flop to see the 4♦ roll off on the turn. Lin bet the minimum of 30,000, which Seward called.
A 4♠ came on the river and Seward folded when Lin placed out a bet of 195,000.
Daniyal Gheba opened to 75,000 from the cutoff before Brian Gates opted to re-raise to 210,000 from the big blind.
Gheba called, and the dealer fanned out a flop of K♥5♦Q♥. Gates continued for 140,000 and was called by Gheba.
The 4♥ turn slowed down Gates with a check. Gheba chose to respond with a bet of 155,000, and Gates called.
Both players checked the 5♠ river to go to a showdown.
Gates showed A♦Q♦ for a pair of queens, but it was no good as Gheba revealed K♣J♣ for a pair of kings to claim the pot.
Kharlin Sued kicked the action off with a raise to 60,000 from the cutoff, which both Ivan Ruban and Charles Alex-Barton called from the button and big blind, respectively.
On a A♦A♣10♥ flop, Sued continued for 65,000, which Ruban called before Alex-Barton folded.
Both players checked on the 9♥ turn, and the 3♣ completed the board.
Sued opted to pick his betting lead back up, putting a chunky 245,000 into the pot. Ruban spent several minutes pondering before flicking in a call.
Sued mucked his hand once he saw the king-high hero call made by Ruban, when he revealed his K♥Q♠.
Yifu He raised to 60,000 from the hijack and Ren Lin defended his big blind.
Both checked on the 3♦7♦7♥ flop and the K♦ hit the turn. Lin checked again and faced a bet of 75,000 by He. Lin stuck around with a call.
The Q♦ arrived on the river and Lin led out for 135,000. He tank-called and Lin's K♣10♦ for a flush took down the pot.
The action was joined as Brian Gates four-bet jammed for 490,000 from the hijack, and three-bettor Scott Eskenazi made the call.
Brian Gates: 8♥8♣
Scott Eskenazi: A♣K♠
Gates had the pot wrapped up on the turn, as the board ran out 5♠10♦7♦8♠6♥.
Chenxiang Miao raised from the button and Justin Saliba three-bet to 220,000 from the big blind. Miao called and both players saw the dealer fan out the 4♣6♥Q♦ flop.
Saliba continued for 185,000, which Miao called, and the J♠ arrived on the turn.
Saliba gave a lot of thought to how to proceed and eventually settled on a bet of 230,000. Again, Miao called.
The 2♣ completed the board, and Saliba bet 435,000 with just 15,000 behind. Miao immediately jammed, and Saliba called while asking, "Sixes?"
Miao did have the hand Saliba suspected as he tabled 6♠6♦ for a flopped set. Saliba's A♠Q♠ for top pair was no good and he headed to the rail.
