Sebestyen Balint limped from middle position and Alan Mehamed on the button raised to 225,000. Balint called to see a flop.
The flop came 5♣5♠10♠ and players checked all the way through the 2♣ turn and 8♣ river.
Balint showed A♠J♣Q♦9♠4♥ for ace-high while Mehamed tabled K♥Q♥Q♠8♠6♠ for pocket queens.

The K♥K♦2♦ flop brought the shove by Kyriakides for 810,000 and Shankar folded.
Miltiadis Kyriakides opened to 120,000 from the cutoff and was called by Ravi Shankar in the small blind and Bouwe Claushuis in the big blind.
Claushuis bet 225,000 after Shankar checked on the 7♥8♣3♠ flop. Kyriakides folded, but Shankar stuck around with a call.
The 9♦ turn came before Shankar took the betting lead with a wager of 600,000. Claushuis gave it a brief consideration before he folded to award the pot to Shankar.
Miguel Ore Avila limped from the cutoff and Sebestyen Balint then raised to 225,000 on the button. Both blinds folded and Ore Avila reluctantly folded.
Balint then made it 125,000 to go from the cutoff and Garth Paul called on the button. They checked down the entire board of Q♠8♠2♠10♥9♣ and Paul announced aces. Balint had that beat with the K♥Q♣7♣6♦5♥ for the bottom end of the straight and Paul mucked aces with the ace of spade but none more.
Alan Mehamed opened to 125,000 and got a caller in big blind Sebestyen Balint.
The dealer fanned out A♣7♣K♠. Balint check-called Mehamed's 100,000 bet.
Balint checked the 9♦ turn again. Mehamed fired 435,000 which was too much for Balint.
Kamel Mokhammad opened to 100,000 in cutoff and Alan Mehamed on the button called. Erick Mossinger in the big blind called as well.
The flop came J♠3♦10♣. Both Mossinger and Mokhammad check-called Mehamed's bet of another 100,000.
On the 5♦ turn, after action was passed to him, Mehamed fired 350,000 which was enough to win the pot.

Hokyiu Lee was the first player to limp in and so did Ravi Shankar and Bouwe Claushuis before Birger Larsen checked in the big blind.
The 9♦9♥9♣ flop was checked to Shankar who bet 80,000. Claushuis and Lee called to then check the 2♦ on the turn. Claushuis checked the 6♦ river and Lee bet 200,000 to force two folds.
"Did you hit the flush?" Larsen replied and Lee flashed the 7♦5♦.
Shankar then opened to 105,000 in the cutoff and all three players behind called. The 10♣6♣2♣ flop was checked to Zachary Gruneberg, who bet 175,000 to win the pot right there.
Zachary Gruneberg limped from the hijack. Miltiadis Kyriakides and Gianluca Cedolia limped on the button and from the small blind, respectively. Ravi Shankar checked his option from the big blind.
Gruneberg bet 80,000 after it was checked to him on the 2♥J♣Q♠ flop. Kyriakides, Cedolia, and Shankar called.
It checked around on the 4♣ turn and the A♣ river.
Shankar showed Q♥10♣7♠5♣2♥ for a flush to take down the pot as the rest of the table mucked their hands in response.
Miltiadis Kyriakides raised to 100,000 and was called by Bouwe Claushuis in the small blind as well as Birger Larsen in the big blind. They checked the K♦8♣4♦ flop to the A♦ turn on which Claushuis checked again. Larsen bet 225,000 and won the pot without resistance.
A three-way limped pot followed in which Kyriakides bet the 8♥6♠5♣ flop for 100,000. Ravi Shankar called and so did Zachary Gruneberg behind. There was no further action as the 4♣ turn and 2♠ river were checked.
"Straight," Gruneberg declared and then mixed his A♥10♠9♦6♥3♠ around a few times before showing the six-high straight. Kyriakides mucked and a friend of Gruneberg on the rail already started celebrating. "Five in a row?" he asked.
"Five in a row," Gruneberg replied, then suddenly added, "no wait, we are still in the tank." Shankar was still carefully checking his cards before sending them into the muck.
"You are already out?" Gruneberg then asked his friend on the rail.
His friend replied with a simple, "I played one hand."
