With around 60,000 already in the middle on a K♠10♥7♥A♦ board, Martin Nielsen checked from early position and Yuriy Boyko fired 25,000 from the hijack. Nielsen then shoved for 182,500, which sent Bokyo into the tank.
After thinking for around two minutes, Bokyo still hadn't come to a decision.
"I'll take one more minute, guys," he said to his tablemates. Eventually, Bokyo did let it go, and was left with a stack of 150,000.
Antoine Camors opened to 5,500 in middle position and Yunkyu Song three-bet to 14,000 on the button. Camors called.
Camors checked on the flop of 10♣6♣9♥ and Song checked back. Camors then led out for 21,000 on the 8♠ turn and Song called.
The K♠ river completed the board and Kovalski moved all in for 32,500. Song went deep in the tank for several minutes, leading Kovalski to call the clock on him. That prompted Song to call before the floor could make it to the table.
Kovalski showed 8♥7♥ for a straight to crush the top pair of his opponent with A♥K♥.
Sam Lam made it 5,000 from early position and Jon Kyte jammed for 22,000 from the next seat. Lam made the call when it got back to him and the players revealed their holdings.
Jon Kyte: K♠Q♥ 
Sam Lam: A♣J♠
Kyte moved ahead with top two pair on the Q♦K♦6♣ flop, although Lam had a straight draw. A 4♠ on the turn was safe for Kyte and so was the 8♣ river, which meant Kyte stayed alive in the event.
After an open to 5,000 by Julian Pineda Lozano under the gun, Damien Gayer three-bet to 14,500 from the cutoff. Steve O'Dwyer in the big blind four-bet to 40,000 and made Pineda Lozano fold.
Gayer went into the tank and five-bet to 68,000. O'Dwyer called.
The dealer fanned a flop of 2♠K♠7♠ and after O'Dwyer checked, Gayer bet 21,000. He eventually managed to make O'Dwyer fold.
Marco Regonaschi opened to 5,000 in early position and Christian Pedersen three-bet to 12,500 in middle position.
Action folded to Ramon Colillas in the small blind, who three-bet to 31,000. Both opponents folded to earn the 2019 PSPC champion the pot.
Martin Nielsen min-raised to 5,000 on the button and Shinya Yajima three-bet to 14,000 out of the big blind. Nielsen continued with a call.
The flop came down a monotone K♠A♠3♠, and Yajima put out a bet of 5,500. Nielsen decided to raise to 17,500, which prompted Yajima to jam, covering Nielsen. With 89,000 total in his stack, Nielsen was happy to call.
Martin Nielsen: 5♠4♠
Shinya Yajima: A♥3♣
Nielsen was in the lead with a flopped flush against the top and bottom pair of Yajima. The remainder of the board ran out 7♣Q♣, which didn't improve Yajima to a boat and Nielsen doubled up with his flush.
Dimitar Danchev opened from early position and Benjamin Spragg shoved his last 20,000 on the button. Danchev called.
Benjamin Spragg: A♣Q♦
Dimitar Danchev: K♣10♣
Spragg was ahead, but needed to fade the live cards of Danchev. A flop of Q♥A♥4♥ gave Spragg two pair, but left Danchev with four clean outs as a jack would complete his Broadway draw.
However, it was Spragg that raked the pot as the 4♦10♦ runout didn't improve Danchev enough.
