Giovanni Spataro: A♠Q♦
The flop came K♥8♠Q♥ immediately pushing Spataro in the lead and prompting Rubbathan to get on his feet. The runout 9♦6♣ was no help, so Rubbathan continued to leave the table as Spataro scooped the pot.

Yuki Yasuhara: A♣8♣

Clement Richez open-jammed for 28,000 in early position and Nikolai Mamut in late position called. When action folded to the big blind, Gonzalo Lopez joined in to see the flop.
The flop came 6♣3♣5♦. Lopez fired 16,000 and Mamut called. Richez started shaking his head as he watched the action before him.
Both players checked the 4♥ turn, but on the 7♠ river, Lopez fired 75,000 which was enough to make Mamut fold and take Richez to showdown.
Lopez showed J♠3♠ while Richez who continued shaking his head tabled K♠K♥. Lopez won the side pot but because of of the straight on the board, Lopez and Richez chopped the pot.

So much for the dominated ace, as Mabe landed two pair on the flop and it held in a runout of 8♠Q♣A♠7♥5♠.

On the turn 3♣, Arpino checked the action to El Rais, who fired 22,000. Arpino went beyond and made it 60,000 sending El Rais to think about his options. After a few seconds, he conceded both the hand and the pot to Arpino.

Lau flopped top pair with an open-ended straight draw, and Cheong had an open-ended to a bigger straight, but the full runout of J♠Q♥10♣3♠4♣ gave Lau the win with queens.
