This table had just moved to the main tournament area after spending the first two levels on the feature stage.
On their first hand back, Jonathan Pastore raised to 25,000 under the gun, Daniel Rezaei three-bet to 65,000 in early position, and Pastore called.
The flop came 10♣Q♥2♥ and Rezaei continued for 40,000. Pastore called and they both checked the K♣ turn.
Pastore led out for 50,000 on the 9♥ river and Rezaei quickly called. Pastore then showed A♦J♦ for the nut straight as last year's runner-up took down the pot.

A big pot was brewing over on table 144 when Salih Atac jammed the 6♦6♣5♣A♥7♥ river for 290,000 with more than that in the middle. Zaki Hamani had checked to him and was then in the tank for at least seven minutes.
During that period, Daniel Montagnolli mentioned that Hamani had raised, Atac called. On the flop, Hamani's bet was raised for the preflop aggressor to call. Hamani then check-called the turn and checked the river.
No clock was called by any of the players before Hamani eventually called. Atac tabled the 5♦5♠ for fives full of sixes and Hamani briefly exposed his Q♠Q♣ to become one of the shortest stacks.
