Andrew Wu limped in with the K♦J♠ and Shota Nakanishi raised to 52,000 with just the K♣ showing. Sebastin Kolman called out of the small blind with the Q♦10♦ and Richard Seymour in the big blind then squeezed to 237,000 with the A♣K♥.
Wu opted to fold, sending Nakanishi into the tank after. The Japanese folded and Kolman followed suit.
Picking up the action on the river, Eric Salazar in the small blind was involved in a hand with a player in the big blind. With the board reading 9♥4♠2♠7♠2♦ and a sizable pot already in the middle, Salazar led out for almost his entire stack, leaving himself just 60,000 behind. The big blind thought for quite some time before deciding to force Salazar all in. Salazar instantly called and turned over 7♣7♥ for the full house, downing his opponent's flush with J♠10♠.
In a blind versus blind situation, Leon Sturm in the small blind opened to 40,000, and was called by Rene Lazaro in the big blind.
On J♠2♦6♣, Sturm continued for 23,000 chips. Lazaro then raised, betting 60,000. Sturm eventually made the call.
The 9♣ came on the turn, but brought no more action. Then the J♦ landed on the river. Sturm checked once more, and Lazaro bet 130,000. After a few seconds, Sturm folded and let the pot to Lazaro.
Boutros Awad defended his small blind with the Q♣10♥ against an under-the-gun raise by Richard Seymour, who had the J♥J♣.
On a flop of K♥4♦3♥, Awad check-raised from 35,000 to 120,000 and Seymour reluctantly called. Both checked the K♦ turn and the Q♥ river went check, check.
Awad announced a queen and received more than just a raised eyebrow by Seymour, who said "you can play in my home game".
Christopher Vitch and Scott Anderson had already arrived on the river on a board of Q♣J♣9♥3♦Q♦. Vitch had bet enough to put Anderson all-in for his 170,000 remaining chips and Anderson was weighing his options.
After a while, Anderson made the call and showed Q♥7♥. However, his trips could not beat the full house of Vitch, who played 3♥3♠. Payouts were called for Anderson while Vitch is playing more than double the average stack.
Darrick Arreola moved all in for 62,000 in the hijack and both the cutoff and Tim Faro on the button made the call.
The flop fanned out A♠10♠2♦ and the cutoff check-called a bet of 60,000 from Faro. On the 8♣ turn both players checked their options to the 7♥ river.
The cutoff checked a third time and Faro came with a size of 100,000. His opponent took a few seconds, but in the end made the fold and the cards were shown for the main pot.
Faro rolled over A♦K♠ for top pair and Arreola tabled K♣K♥ as he made his way to the payout desk.
A player in early position raised to 25,000, the player to their direct left called, as did the cutoff. Bobby Harrison on the button squeezed to 105,000.
In response, the small blind put in a cold four-bet to 250,000. All remaining players folded, except Harrison who put in a five-bet to 600,000.
The small blind went deep into the tank for several minutes before finally finding the fold. Harrison claimed this pot and left his table wondering.
Action was picked up on the flop with players four-way and the board reading 5♥4♣9♣. A player in the small blind checked, Yuri Dzivielevski checked from the big blind and Daniel Chuprun bet 41,000 from early position, folding out a player in the hijack while receiving calls from both the small blind and Dzivielevski.
The turn was the 5♣. The small blind checked, Dzivielevski bet 48,000, Chuprun called and the small blind got out of the way.
Action checked through on the K♦ river. Dzivielevski tabled 9♥8♣ for two pair, nines and fives while Chuprun revealed A♣A♦ for two pair, aces and fives to take down a nice pot.
