Chanh Vu had a bet of 7,000 in front of him in early position and was facing a shove for 41,500 from the cutoff. Vu called with the slightly larger stack to put his opponent at risk.
Cutoff Player: 
Chanh Vu:

Level: 10
Blinds: 800/1,600
Ante: 1,600
A player moved all in from under the gun and action folded around to Chris Smith on the button who re-jammed. The blinds got out of the way and the under the gun player was officially at risk.
Under The Gun Player: 
Chris Smith: 
Smith had his opponent dominated and was in good position to score the knockout. That all changed when the flop came 
pairing his opponent's kicker. The 
turn only made matters worse for Smith but he was able to find the 
on the river to make a straight and win the pot.
A player limped from under the gun as did a player in middle position and a player in late position. Anxi Jia then moved all in for around 38,000 from the cutoff and was only called by the under the gun player, who had just a few chips left.
Under The Gun Player:
Anxi Jia: 
Jia had his opponent on the ropes with the 
flop leaving the at risk player hoping for a chop. It was not to be, however, as the board ran out 
to keep Jia chipping up.
Level: 9
Blinds: 600/1,200
Ante: 1,200
A player in middle position opened to 2,300 and action folded around to Joe Lafuria in the small blind, who opted to three-bet to 6,800. His opponent moved all in and Lafuria immediately called with the larger stack.
Middle Position Player: 
Joe Lafuria: 
It was a cooler with Lafuria being on the right end of things and in excellent position to take down the large pot. Nothing changed on the 
flop with the turn closing the door on big slick prior to the meaningless 
river.
Picking up the action on the flop with the board reading 
, Ankit Minocha on the button found himself all in and at risk against an early position player.
Ankit Minocha:
Early Position Player: 
Though at risk, Minocha was ahead and in a good spot to secure the double. The turn kept him in the lead with the river completing a clean runout for the cowboys.
Level: 8
Blinds: 500/1,000
Ante: 1,000
Players have been sent on their second 15-minute break of the day. They will return to blinds of 500/1,000 with a 1,000 big blind ante.
Picking up the action partway through the hand, a player in early position, a player in middle position and Juan Valdez in the big blind were all in, with Valdez having the covering stack.
Early Position Player:
Middle Position Player:
Juan Valdez:
Valdez had found an opportune moment to pick up pocket rockets but still needed to avoid a bad beat to scoop the large pot. The board ran out 
to send the early and middle position players to the exits while Valdez collected their stacks.
