Action went heads-up to a flop of 8♠10♣2♠ in a hand between Veselin Karakitukov in early position and Sergio Martinez Gonzalez in the big blind.
With over 500,000 in the middle, Karakitukov bet 30,000 and Martinez Gonzalez called, leaving himself with just 5,000 behind. The 7♠ turn went check-check, bringing the 7♦ river. Karakitukov put Martinez Gonzalez all in, who made the call.
Karakitukov tabled K♦K♠10♠6♦ for the flush, besting the A♣K♣J♠5♠ of Martinez Gonzalez, who had an inferior flush.
With 300,000 in the pot on the 2♣K♠10♣ flop, Aaron Mermelstein's last 130,000 got into the middle with Jeremy Ausmus making the call to try and win them all.
Aaron Mermelstein: KxJ♥10♦9♣ 
Jeremy Ausmus: A♣J♣7♦6♦
Mermelstein had top two pair against the combo draw of Ausmus.
Mermelstein filled up on the K♥ turn to leave Ausmus drawing dead, making the 7♠ river a mere formality.
Jason Koon called 30,000 in the cutoff, Carlo van Ravenswoud made it 105,000 from the big blind, and Koon called.
The flop came 2♣5♠Q♦ and Ravenswoud fired out a bet of 90,000. Koon announced, "jack-high," and mucked his hand.
