Martin Kabrhel with 10♦4♦ raised to 4,100 from the button and Julian Sitbon with 10♠9♣ called to see a flop.
The dealer peeled 6♣4♠A♥. After a check, Kabrhel fired 2,000 and Sitbon called.
The J♣ turn fell, and both players checked. On the river 3♥, Sitbon fired 4,000 which was enough to make Kabrhel fold.
After Doug Polk raised to 4,500 chips, Nikolai Mamut three-bet to 18,000.
Polk popped it again, with a four-bet to 38,000. Mamut simply called.
Mamut then checked when the flop hit J♣5♠3♣.
Polk bet 16,000, and after Mamut raised to 32,000, he went all in for his full 110,000 stack.
Doug Polk A♣Q♣
Nikolai Mamut A♠A♦
The hand was over when Polk's flush came in on the turn of the 6♣, rendering the rivered 2♦ meaningless.
Phil Ivey raised to 5,000 on the button with A♦3♠, and Shota Nakanishi called from the big blind holding Q♥J♣.
Ivey continued for 5,000 on a 2♣6♥Q♣ flop, and Nakanishi called.
Nakanishi check-called a second time on the A♥ turn, this time for 15,000.
The 6♦ completed the board, and when Nakanishi checked for a third time, Ivey moved all in for 63,000. Nakanishi wasted little time in folding, and Ivey pulled in the pot.
With K♥8♥, Nikolai Mamut raised to 5,000 on the button and Doug Polk three-bet to 20,000 from the big blind with K♠7♠. Mamut called.
A flop of 4♦5♠Q♠ came down and Polk went for a check. Mamut bet 16,000 and was check-raised to 48,000 by Polk. Mamut folded.
Richard Green raised to 4,000 on the button and Kevin Rabichow called from the big blind.
Rabichow check-called a bet of 2,200 from Green on the 5♦3♣J♠ flop.
The 9♠ turn and Q♦ river checked through and Rabichow won the pot with 10♠5♠ for a pair of fives.
Martin Zamani raised to 4,000 on the button, and Shogo Otani called in the big blind.
Zamani continued for 3,000 on the 6♣10♣5♦ flop, which Otani check-called, before the action checked through on the 8♣ turn.
Otani then led out for 15,000 on the A♦ river, which Zamani called.
Otani flipped over a bluff with Q♠7♥, and Zamani revealed he had looked him up with bottom pair when he showed his 9♠5♥.
Level: 16
Blinds: 1,000/2,000
Ante: 0
Shota Nakanishi with K♦3♣, on the button, opened to 4,000 and Phil Ivey, holding A♣6♣, responded with a re-raise of 17,000. Not to be outdone, Nakanishi four-bet to 45,000. Ivey called.
The dealer fanned 7♣8♦J♠ and action went check, check leading them to the 3♠ turn.
Ivey fired 50,000 and Nakanishi continued to stay with Ivey on the hand. The river 10♥ prompted Ivey to fire another 75,000. Nakanish made a one-chip call then scooped the pot for his turned pair of three.
Shogo Otani raised to 4,500 on the button and Martin Zamani defended the big blind.
The dealer fanned the 9♣3♦6♠ flop and both players checked to see the Q♣ hit the turn. Zamani checked and Otani bet 6,000. Zamani called.
Zamani led out for 2,000 when he saw the J♥ river and Otani raised to 10,000. Zamani snap-called with Q♦2♦ for top pair, but lost the pot to Otani's Q♠10♦.
Shota Nakanishi with K♥10♥ raised to 4,000 from the button, then Phil Ivey three-bet to 16,000 with K♦J♥. Nakanishi called to see a flop.
The flop dropped Q♥6♣Q♠ and Nakanishi called Ivey's 9,000 bet again, hanging on to see the next card.
Ivey bet another 35,000 on the 4♥ turn and Nakanishi, unfazed by the pressure, continued to hang on.
Ivey's 142,000 jam on the river 7♣ applied maximum pressure, which was enough to finally make Nakanishi fold.
