Chip Counts
Jans Arends raised to 40,000 in the cutoff and Jesse Lonis three-bet jammed in the big blind to put Arends at risk, who had about 540,000 behind. Arends made the call.
Jans Arends: A♦J♦
Jesse Lonis: A♠Q♥
Lonis' ace-queen remained in the lead all the way as the board ran out 10♦5♥7♣4♦A♥ to send Arends packing.
Four-way on a flop of 10♥9♥8♣, Samuel Mullur in early position bet 50,000. David Einhorn in the cutoff called, as well as Alex Foxen in the small blind. Dejan Kaladjurdjevic in the big blind folded A♣6♣.
Foxen led out for 85,000 on the 6♦ turn. Both of his opponents called, so he checked the 2♠ river. Mullur checked back with J♥10♣ and Einhorn checked with K♦J♠, so the pot went to Foxen with 9♦8♦ for two pair.
Action went heads-up to a flop of 4♦J♥7♣ in a hand between Johannes Straver in the cutoff and Alexandros Theologis in the big blind.
With 120,000 in the pot, Theologis checked with Q♥7♥ and Straver bet 90,000 with K♠J♣.
Theologis called and the turn landed the 8♥, giving him additional equity with a flush draw. Both players checked and the river fell the 4♠.
Theologis checked, Straver bet 200,000, and Theologis raised to 400,000. Straver then reraised to 1,140,000, prompting Theologis to surrender his hand.
Alex Foxen raised to 45,000 in the hijack with Q♣9♦, Dejan Kaladjurdjevic three-bet to 140,000 in the cutoff holding J♠J♦, and Daniel Negreanu cold called in the big blind with K♥Q♥. Foxen decided to get out of the way.
The flop came 7♠10♠8♠ and both players checked to the 9♥ turn, where Negreanu led out for 125,000. Kaladjurdjevic called with the straight, and the river fell the J♣, putting a straight on the board while giving Negreanu the nut straight.
Negreanu checked and Kaladjurdjevic took the bait by betting 425,000. Negreanu just called and the pot was pushed his way.
Action went heads-up to a flop of 2♥9♥Q♦ in a limped pot between Artur Martirosian in the small blind and Johannes Straver in the big blind.
Martirosian led out for 30,000 with Q♠J♥ for top pair and Straver called with J♠8♠ for a gutshot.
The turn brought the 8♦, Martirosian bet 120,000, and Straver called again, bringing the 4♠ river.
Martirosian bet once more, this time for 270,000, and Straver called only to see the bad news.
Barak Wisbrod raised from middle position and Mikita Badziakouski defended from the big blind.
Wisbrod continued for 25,000 on the 2♣Q♦Q♣ flop. Badziakouski check-raised to 70,000 and Wisbrod called. He called again when Badziakouski bet 70,000 on the 2♥ turn.
The 9♣ landed on the river and Badziakouski bet 215,000, keeping only 5,000 behind. Wisbrod immediately moved all in, flipping over A♠Q♠ for a full house.
Wisbrod didn't realize, however, that Badziakouski didn't go all in. Badziakouski knew that he didn't have the best hand, so he folded.
With his single chip remaining, he was forced all in from the small blind in the next hand but managed to split, then tripled and doubled to reach 150,000.
Action went three-ways to a monotone flop of 3♣9♣6♣ in a hand between the under-the-gun Johannes Straver, Nick Petrangelo in the hijack, and Artur Martirosian in the big blind.
It checked through to the 5♥ turn, where it checked to Straver, who bet 50,000 with K♣J♣. Petrangelo called with 8♣8♥ and Martirosian folded K♦3♦.
On the 9♦ river, Straver bet 185,000 with the flush, and Petrangelo made the call.
Artur Martirosian in early position now faced Ignacio Moron under the gun on a flop of 8♦10♦J♥.
They both checked but Moron bet 160,000 on the 4♣ turn. Martirosian made the call.
The 8♠ landed on the river and Moron fired 400,000. Martorisian called with A♣10♥ but lost to Moron's K♦J♦.
Sean Winter under the gun raised to 40,000. Artur Martirosian in the hijack picked up A♠A♥ and three-bet to 140,000. Winter then decided to four-bet to 350,000. Martirosian just called.
Winter continued for 150,000 on the 4♠Q♦2♥ flop and was called, but checked the 8♥ turn. Martirosian checked back.
On the 7♥ river, Winter checked and saw Martirosian bet 835,000. Winter snap-called with 8♠8♣ for a set and scooped the pot.
Samuel Mullur raised to 45,000 in early position with A♣3♣ and Daniel Negreanu three-bet to 115,000 in middle position holding K♠10♠. Mullur made the call.
The flop came 8♥9♦7♣ and both players checked to the 5♥ turn. Mullur led out with a bet of 95,000 and Negreanu called, bringing the 3♦ river.
Mullur down bet to 65,000 and Negreanu bumped it up to 315,000. Mullur took some time to think through his decision, eventually flicking in the call to pick off Negreanu's bluff.
