Paulius Vaitiekunas raised to 17,000 under the gun, Punnat Punsri three-bet to 55,000, and after a short while Vaitiekunas four-bet to 135,000. Punsri decided to fold and Vaitiekunas could not wait to windmill the A♣10♦ in his face.
Erik Seidel from early position clashed with Aliaksandr Shylko on the button preflop as all the chips got in the middle, with Seidel at risk for approximately 244,000.
Erik Seidel: 10♦10♥
Aliaksandr Shylko: A♥A♦
Shylko had Seidel on the ropes with the runout to come with a pair over pair situation.
The flop brought no relief for Seidel when it came J♣6♣9♠, besides some backdoor straight machinations.
The hope of any runner-runner magic died with the 6♦ turn.
Seidel's tens would fall when the Q♣ river hit to award the pot to Shylko.
Hannes Jeschka opened to 16,000 from middle position before Jack Roser called from the next seat over in the hijack. Dietrich Fast called on the button, and Candy Lin came along from the small blind to create a four-handed pot.
It checked to Jeschka on the 4♦10♦3♣ flop before he bet 16,000. Roser re-raised to 60,000 in response. Fast was unfazed by all the action and opted to three-bet to 125,000. This cleared out everyone but Roser, who made the call.
Both players slowed down with a check on the J♦ turn to bring the A♣ river.
Roser checked it over to Fast, but Fast was not done betting. Fast chose to put out a large bet of 325,000, which was enough to put Roser all-in should he call.
Roser gave it some consideration, but decided to fold as Fast took in the pot.
Josef Schusteritsch raised to 16,000 in the cutoff, Klemens Roiter went all in for 16,000 on the button and Alex Anton called in the big blind.

Klemens Roiter: K♣J♥
Alex Anton: 7♥4♠
Josef Schusteritsch: A♠8♣
Schusteritsch managed to eliminate Roiter with ace-high.
Daniel Negreanu opened to 18,000 from the cutoff before Brandon Wilson defended his big blind to go to a flop.
The flop came A♥3♠Q♣ before Wilson checked. Negreanu continued for 8,000 before he told David Coleman, who was out of the hand, his prediction on Wilson's action.
"I bet you $20 that he folds on the flop," Negreanu said. "He's got dust."
Wilson made the call to bring the K♠ turn as Negreanu paid Coleman. Both players checked as the K♦ peeled on the river.
Wilson chose to bet 24,000 on the river, which was quickly called by Negreanu.
Wilson tossed his cards in the muck as Negreanu tabled A♦2♦ to show that he had a pair of aces.
"You may have won the twenty dollars," Negreanu said to Coleman. "But I won the hand. I told you he had dust."
The very next hand, Cary Katz limped from middle position before Negreanu chose to raise to 32,000 from the hijack. Katz made the call.
Both players checked the 4♣9♥Q♦ flop to bring the 8♣ turn. Katz bet 25,000, and Negreanu called.
The 8♥ river peeled before both players checked.
Katz showed 10♣9♦, but it was Negreanu with the winner as he tabled K♠K♦, much to the amusement of the table.
Klemens Roiter raised to 27,000 in the small blind, and Emilien Pitavy called in the big blind.
The flop came 2♠4♦3♥. Roiter then checked to Pitavy, who fired out a bet of 25,000. Roiter decided to put Pitavy all in for 219,000 and Pitavy snap-called.
Emilien Pitavy: A♥5♥
Klemens Roiter: A♦4♠
Top pair was no good for Roiter, as Pitavy flopped a straight and held as the board ran out 7♦ on the turn and the 2♣ on the river.
There were roughly 120,000 chips in the pot on Q♦6♠2♥.
Christopher Puetz in the big blind bet 35,000, and Alexandros Theologis in early position made the call.
The A♣ on the turn saw Puetz fire out another bet for 55,000, and Theologis called again. Puetz decided to put Theologis all in on the 3♠ river for roughly 200,000, and Theologis snap-folded.
If there is a fun table at the $50,000 High Roller No-Limit Hold'em event, Table #68 would be the presumptive favorite as a festive and rowdy atmosphere has taken over the table. The table has agreed to show one card should they win the pot.
In this small hand, Daniel Negreanu opened to 18,000 from the hijack, which led to calls from David Coleman on the button and Paulius Vaitiekunas in the big blind.
The flop came 3♣9♥K♠ before it checked to Negreanu, who continued for 20,000. Both Coleman and Vaitiekunas folded as Negreanu showed the A♥ before taking in the chips.

Blinds: 4,000/8,000
