: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Deven Cannon opened to 22,000 from the button before Paul Brown made the call from the small blind. Arthur Tanimoto raised the price of admission to 99,000 from the big blind, which led to a fold from Cannon.
Brown chose to four-bet all-in for 269,000 total in response. Brown's jam sent Tanimoto into the tank as he agonized over the decision. Tanimoto confirmed the count, then put out the chips for a call as he and Brown went to a showdown.
Paul Brown: A♣A♥
Arthur Tanimoto: A♠K♣
Tanimoto's concerns were well founded as Brown had the best starting hand in the game.
The flop gave Tanimoto some life when it came K♠3♦4♦ to give him a pair of kings and keep him alive.
Brown's aces were vulnerable to a chop when the 2♦ turn presented some chop opportunities, but Brown would earn the double-up when the 6♥ hit the river.

Paul Vang opened to 18,000 from middle position before Mario Ribeiro Netto called out of the small blind and Christopher Rudd made the call out of the big blind.
All three players checked the 3♦8♠4♣ flop to usher in the 7♦ turn. Netto opted to lead for 30,000 and was only called by Rudd.
Both players knuckled the Q♦ river.
Netto showed that he got there on fifth street when he tabled A♥Q♠ for a pair of queens, much to the chagrin of Rudd, who mucked his hand.

Tsolmon Jargalsaikhan opened to 12,000 from early position before Charles Himes made it 35,000 from the next seat over. David Miller four-bet to 95,000 from the hijack. Jargalsaikhan folded before Himes shipped it for 131,500. Miller called to put Himes at risk.
Charles Himes: A♠A♣
David Miller: K♦K♠
Himes was in the dream spot as he had aces against kings for a chance to secure the double.
The flop was all Himes when it came 4♠7♦A♥ to give him a set and all but a lock on the hand.
The 9♦ secured the pot for Himes as the procedural J♦ hit the river to award Himes the double.

Dehao Qi and Thu Tran clashed in a hand that was picked up on the river of a board that read J♣A♦8♦3♥2♦ that had over 80,000 in the middle.
Qi bet from the small blind position before Thu Tran shipped it in response to put Qi to a decision for all his chips. Qi quickly called, and the cards were on their back.
Tran showed 3♣3♦ for a turned set, but it was no good as he found out the bad news that Qi had 8♥8♣ for a higher set to leave Tran with crumbs.
The very next hand, Deven Cannon opened to 12,000 from under the gun. Tran shoved for his remaining 19,500 from the cutoff before Alex Garcia also shoved for 31,500 from the big blind. Cannon called to put both at risk.
Thu Tran: 3♣3♥
Alex Garcia: A♥9♥
Deven Cannon: K♠K♥
Cannon was in a great position to score a double knockout as they went to a runout.
The 10♦4♠Q♠ flop kept Cannon well in control as Tran was drawing to two outs and Garcia was searching for an ace.
The J♣ gave Garcia some additional outs as he hit a gutshot to gain some equity, but Cannon held the better straight draw and had the best hand with blockers to boot.
Garcia would hit his card when the K♦ peeled on the river to give Cannon a set he didn't want as Garcia spiked a straight.
Tran was eliminated, and Garcia took down the pot.

Mario Ribeiro Netto went all-in for 114,000 from early position and was called by John Koo out of the big blind to be at risk.
Mario Ribeiro Netto: 9♣9♦
John Koo: A♣K♥
Netto needed to fade the overcards, and the flop complied when it came 2♥7♥10♦ to keep Netto ahead.
The 8♣ turn improved Netto to an open-ended straight draw, while maintaining his lead.
The river was paint, but it wasn't the scary kind as the Q♣ hit the river to award Netto the double.
