Ignacio Moron raised to 13,000 in middle position and David Einhorn flatted in the cutoff. The flop came 10♥7♣K♠ and Moron check-called a bet of 27,000. He check-folded the 4♠ turn when Einhorn fired out a bet of 82,000.
The next hand, Einhorn raised to 15,000 in the hijack and was three-bet by Jason Koon on the button to 50,000. Einhorn called and the flop came 6♦9♥7♠, where both players checked. The K♥ turn went check-check, bringing the 2♠ river, where Einhorn led out for 80,000. Koon tossed his cards into the muck.
In a hand that lasted more than ten minutes, Alex Foxen in the cutoff bet 18,000 on a flop of J♣9♠8♥.
Stephen Chidwick in the big blind check-called but Dejan Kaladjurdjevic in the hijack check-raised to 43,000. Foxen called before Chidwick came back with a re-raise to 110,000. Both Kaladjurdjevic and Foxen called.
Chidwick continued for 185,000 on the 6♣ turn. Kaladjurdjevic called, while Foxen folded with a suspicious look.

Moron sized up with a bet of 75,000 and Petrangelo thought for a brief moment before making the call. Moron tabled A♣K♠ for two pair, aces and kings to take down the pot.
Action picked up on the flop of J♣2♣10♠ in a hand between David Einhorn in the cutoff and Jason Koon in the big blind.
With just over 30,000 in the middle, both players checked to the 7♣ turn, where Koon check-called a bet of 20,000 from Einhorn.
The A♠ river went check-check and Koon tabled the winner with A♥10♥ for two pair, aces and tens. Einhorn flashed the J♠ as he mucked his cards.
