Alexander Kostritsyn raised the button and Julien Sitbon three-bet out of the small blind for Kostritsyn to call. Sitbon bet the entire board of A♦7♠6♣10♠Q♣ and Kostritsyn called down to get shown the A♣10♥4♦3♥. That was good for the low, as Kostritsyn's A♥K♠Q♦4♣ spiked superior two pair for the high on the river.
Ari Engel then raised the small blind for Ali Eslami to call in the big blind. Engel bet the A♣9♦4♣ flop and Eslami folded.
Kostritsyn raised in the hijack and Sitbon called in the cutoff, Naoya Kihara came along from the big blind. The trio checked the A♣7♠4♥ flop, Kihara bet the K♠ turn and the 3♥ river. Only Kostritsyn called both bets and mucked when Kihara tabled K♦7♥6♣5♦ for the low and a straight.
Yueqi Zhu limped under the gun, Eslami raised on the button. Walter Chambers called out of the big blind and Zhu also came along. The Q♠3♠2♥ flop was checked to Eslami who bet, Chambers called. Zhu then check-raised to send Eslami into agony, after which he folded. Chambers stuck around for one more street and check-folded the Q♣ turn to a bet by Zhu.
