Mike Watson opened in the hijack to 250,000, and Jake Greenbaum on the button three-bet to 500,000, which Watson called.
Both players checked the 8♠6♠9♥ flop.
On the 5♦ turn, Watson bet 300,000 and Greenbaum made the call.
The 3♠ river completed the board and both players checked. Greenbaum tabled A♦10♠ for ace-high, while Watson held A♣8♣ for a pair of eights, which was enough to drag the pot.
Punnat Punsri opened to 240,000 from the button and called when Miroslav Alilovic jammed for 405,000 from the big blind.
Punsri tabled 10♥8♣ and was ahead of Alilovic's 6♦5♦ until the latter paired up on the J♦6♥4♣ flop. The A♣ turn and 7♥ river changed nothing, securing the double-up for Alilovic.
Soon after, Alilovic was all-in again, this time for 730,000 from the button. Mehdi Chaoui reshoved as the bigger stack from the small blind.
Miroslav Alilovic: Q♣J♠
Mehdi Chaoui: 5♥5♦
Alilovic missed the 6♥3♦2♣ flop and the A♠ turn, but the Q♦ river paired his queen to give him the winning hand and put him firmly back in contention.
While those two doubles were taking place, Mike Watson dragged in another pot in a blind-versus-blind battle with Christian Pedersen. The board read A♦K♠5♠A♣3♥, and Watson had a large bet out in front of him that was enough to force Pedersen to fold.
Mario Diaz Quilez kicked things off from under the gun with a raise to 240,000. Aliaksei Boika on the button called, and Miroslav Alilovic in the small blind moved all in for 1,460,000. Quilez folded and Boika made the call.
Miroslav Alilovic: 10♠10♣
Aliaksei Boika: 9♠9♥
Another pair was not what Boika wanted to see. The board ran out 4♠A♥3♦A♣6♦ with no improvement for him, allowing Alilovic to secure the double up.
Yuliyan Kolev opened to 240,000 from the cutoff before Christian Pedersen made it 630,000 from the small blind. Kolev jammed for 2,200,000 and Pedersen called as the covering stack.
Yuliyan Kolev: Q♠Q♦
Christian Pedersen: 10♠10♦
Kolev ended up with a full house, and took in the pot after the dealer completed the J♦3♦8♦8♠Q♣ runout.
Pedersen was visibly frustrated, and raised to 1,400,000 in the next hand. Mike Watson had opened the pot with a bet of 250,000 but folded when the action came back around to him.
Aliaksei Boika opened to 240,000 from under the gun and Punnat Punsri defended his big blind.
On the K♠10♥9♣ flop, Punsri check-raised to 260,000 over a bet of 125,000. Boika called.
Punsri then check-folded to a bet of 125,000 on the 10♦ turn.
Yuliyan Kolev opened from the button to 240,000, and Christian Pedersen in the big blind made the call.
On the 2♦2♥J♣ flop, Pedersen check-raised Kolev’s bet of 165,000 to 500,000, and Kolev called.
The Q♣ turn, and the 5♣ river both went check.
At showdown, Kolev said, “I have the feeling you have a queen.” As Pedersen was first to show, he tabled A♦J♦ for two pair, jacks and deuces. Kolev paused as if to reveal his hand, double-checked his cards, then mucked them face down, conceding the pot.
Yuliyan Kolev opened to 240,000 from the cutoff and Jake Greenbaum called from the big blind.
The 10♣10♥5♠ flop checked through to the 2♣ turn. Greenbaum check-called for 180,000, bringing in the 9♠ river. Greenbaum led out for 600,000, but ditched his hand after Kolev made it 1,900,000.
In a limped pot between the blinds, Mario Diaz Quilez and Punnat Punsri checked the 5♣4♣3♣ flop through to the 4♦ turn. Quilez, the small blind bet 280,000. Punsri called.
The Q♣ river saw Punsri quickly call a bet of 230,000. Quillez flopped a straight with his 7♣6♠, and had a flush by the river. However, Punsri had K♠9♣ and had a better flush to take the pot.
Level: 26
Blinds: 100,000/150,000
Ante: 150,000
There were two all-in and calls across the final two tables, with Mario Diaz Quilez and Jake Greenbaum both at risk on their respective tables.
Mario Diaz Quilez was all-in for his last 1,210,000 in a blind-on-blind clash against Punnat Punsri.
Mario Diaz Quilez: A♦6♦
Punnat Punsri: K♣10♦
Quilez avoided elimination as his ace-high held on the 7♦4♦3♥3♠Q♣ runout to secure the double.

Back on the first table, Punsri quickly rebounded in a clash with Aliaksei Boika. Punsri moved all in for 1,345,000 from the button and Boika called from the small blind.
