Alan Helfenstein opened to 22,000 in middle position, and Jordan Bamford promtly three-bet to 53,000 as next to act. Helfenstein proceeded to four-bet, making it 115,000. Bamford moved all in for 396,000, and Helfenstein snapped it off.
Jordan Bamford: A♦Q♦
Alan Helfenstein: A♠A♥
Helfenstein revealed pocket aces, and Bamford picked up some outs on the 6♣3♦Q♠ flop. The 8♦ turn brought additional outs, and the table reacted as the 2♦ river gave Bamford a flush.
The dealer confirmed Bamford's stack, earning the double while cracking Helfenstein's aces.
Paulina Loeliger opened to 20,000 from early position and Andrew Rosen called in the big blind.
Rosen check-called a 10,000 bet from Loeliger on the 7♦5♦8♠ flop and 25,000 bet from Loeliger on the A♠ turn.
The 2♥ completed the board and Rosen checked a final time. Loeliger moved all in, which was enough to put Rosen all in for his last 104,000 and he called after a bit of thought.
Loeliger could only show Q♥J♠ for a bluff and Rosen revealed A♦4♠ for a pair of aces to earn the double up.
Action folded to Scott Margereson on the button who made it 20,000 to play and was looked up by Scott Weinstein in the big blind.
The players checked down the J♥10♣10♦ flop as they did on the 6♥ turn.
The action also went check check on the K♦ river with Weinstein tabling K♥2♠ to claim the pot as Margereson mucked his cards.
Advait Abrol raised to 20,000 from middle position and Praveen Tammana defended his big blind.
Tammana checked to Abrol, who continued for 25,000 on the 2♠J♣9♦ flop. Abrol check-raised to 50,000 and, undeterred, Abrol made it 125,000 to go.
Tammana pondered a bit before letting his hand go and Abrol said, "Queen-jack or king-jack, that's what it felt like."
Jorge Florez opened to 20,000 from under the gun, and William Fernandes three-bet from the hijack to 60,000. Ran Ilani then announced all in from the big blind, and Florez got out of the way.
Fernandes called off the rest of his stack, and the cards were turned up.
William Fernandes: Q♠Q♣
Ran Ilani: A♠K♥
Both players missed the 4♦2♦4♠J♥9♠ board, leaving Fernandes in front with his pocket queens. That secured a big double for Fernandes, and Ilani was left with just 21,000 chips and lost them shortly after.
John Tech raised to 20,000 from the cutoff and was called by Daniel Triana in the big blind.
Both players checked on the 2♠3♣9♣ flop and then Triana check-called a 22,000 bet from Tech on the A♦ turn.
Action checked through on the 5♥ river and Triana revealed A♣10♠ for a turned pair of aces.
Tech sent his hand into the muck and Triana added to his stack.
Jakutis Povilas raised to 20,000 in the hijack, making the quick call once Diane Cooley moved all in for 65,000 in the big blind.
Diane Cooley: 6♣6♥
Jakutis Povilas: A♥9♠
Cooley saw a safe runout of 7♠K♦8♣5♣2♣, winning the flip to double up through Povilas.
