Bin Weng opened to 20,000 in middle position, and Christopher Puetz in hijack called. Daniel Charlton in the big blind called, taking all three to the flop.
The flop came 5♣J♠2♦. Charlton checked the action to Went, who fired 17,000. Puetz called again, but Charlton got out of the way.
Weng continued his aggression with an 84,000 on the 10♠, and still Puetz hung on.
On the river 10♣, Weng put maximum pressure when he pushed 145,000 of his chips, leaving behind only one 5,000-chip behind. Puetz went into the tank thinking about his options.
He finally mucked, leaving the enormous pot with Weng.
Action was picked up as Alexander Livingston was all in against Klemens Roiter.
Alexander Livingston: 9♠9♦
Klemens Roiter: A♠K♠
The flop came A♦10♥6♣, and Livingston joked, "I wanted to go play the HORSE anyway." The 9♣ on the turn gave him the card he needed, and he took down the pot. The 7♥ completed the board on the river.
John Krpan raised from early position to 20,000, and Antoine Saout three-bet to 47,000 from the hijack. Krpan put in the four-bet all-in for 162,000 effective, and Saout quickly called.
Antoine Saout: A♦A♣
John Krpan: 10♥10♠
The board was friendly to the aces with 2♦8♣9♥K♠9♣, and two pair won the pot for Saout.
Mario Navarro opened to 20,000 from early position before Kurtis Tinfow moved all in for 188,000 from middle position. Action folded to Luis Yepez Carmona, who tanked long enough for the clock to be called. After the floor reached five seconds, Carmona shoved for about 180,000. Navarro quickly folded.
Luis Yepez Carmona: J♣J♦
Kurtis Tinfow: A♣Q♦
It was a great start for Tinfow, as he flopped a pair on 7♦Q♣10♣. Carmona, with only two outs, could not find a jack as the board ran out 6♦ on the turn and the 3♥ on the river.
Heads-up action was picked up between Oleksii Mezhenkov in the big blind and Tom Verbruggen in hijack looking at a K♥9♠3♣ flop beside 150,000 pot.
The dealer peeled J♥ and, after Mezhenkov checked the action, Verbruggen added 40,000 more to the pot which made Mezenko think about his options.
He took considerable time then finally called. Both players checked the A♦ river.
Mezhenkov tabled K♠3♠ for a two pair but couldn't beat Verbruggen's K♣9♦ for the higher two pair.
Jamie Flynn raised from late position to 20,000, and Daniel Moran moved all in from the button for 114,000. Everyone else folded, and Flynn called.
Daniel Moran: A♠K♦
Jamie Flynn: A♦J♠
The dealer dealt 4♥3♦3♣9♥Q♥, and the king would play for a pair with the better ace high.
Action was picked up as Bradley Goodman was all in against Karim Chatur.
Bradley Goodman: K♥J♦
Karim Chatur: A♥J♥
Both Goodman and Chatur both flopped a pair on J♣7♦2♥. Chatur with an ace kicker held as the board ran out 4♣ on the turn and 10♥ on the river to eliminate Goodman.
