The turn 2♦ was checked by both players
On the river 8♣, Obara checked, and Mizrachi placed a bet of 7,000. Obara looked him up with his two pair, and that would win the pot.

Henri Puustinen raised to 5,000 from the button, and Nikolai Mamut called.

On the 10♣ turn, Mamut put another bet of 18,500 into the middle. Undeterred, Puustinen called.
The 6♥ completed the board, and on this occasion, when Mamut fired 20,500, Puustinen released his cards back to the dealer.

The flop arrived with 3♦J♦5♦, giving both players a flush draw.
Kabrhel announced, "Check blind."
Yokosawa chuckled, "You saw it," and checked.
The turn 4♦ saw a $5,000 bet from Yokosawa after a check from Kabrhel. Kabrhel called and requested help from the dealer as he called for the two of diamonds.
The river A♠ brought a bet from Yokosawa of 11,000, and Kabrhel folded.
Kabrhel shouted, "Almost casino royal for Masoto."
Yokosawa bets 11,000 on the river, and Kabrhel folds after stating, "I was told that Masato never bluffs, so I am very confused."
Martin Kabrhel raised to 2,400 on the button, and Masato Yokosawa called.
Yokosawa checked in flow on the 9♣2♠7♥ flop, and Kabrhel continued for 1,200. Yokosawa put in a check-raise to 4,200, and Kabrhel called.
The 6♠ turn joined the board, and Yokosawa reverted to checking. Kabrhel did no such thing, though, instead putting a nearly pot-sized bet of 12,200 into the middle. Yokosawa called, and the 9♦ completed the board.
Yokosawa checked again, and Kabrhel put a substantial 39,900 into the pot. Yokosawa called and received immediate bad news. Kabrhel tabled 8♠5♠ for a turned straight, which was comfortably enough to beat the 10♣9♥ of Yokosawa.

Yokosawa checked to Kabrhel on a 10♠Q♠2♦ flop, seeing Kabrhel take the betting lead when he put 15,000 into the middle. Yokosawa then sprung the trap, check-raising to 60,000, to which Kabrhel immediately folded.

Wilson continued for 7,000 on the 2♥Q♥2♠, and Negreanu called again.
The 5♠ turn saw Wilson slow down, allowing Negreanu to take over the betting lead, which he did, to the tune of 21,000. Wilson responded with a check-raise to 70,000, and after a little deliberation, Negreanu let go of his cards.
