Action was caught on the river on the board J♦5♣9♠7♠3♥.
There was already over 50,000 chips in the pot before Ben Lamb bet 45,000. Yuya Kita thought for a while and decided to make the call. Ben slowly turned over AxKx, while Kita had 8♣7♣ for third pair.
A very tense hand was brewing when Dan Smith raised to 4,000 from late position and was called by the player in the cutoff. The blinds folded and the two players went heads up to a flop of J♥7♦2♥. Smith lead out for 6,000 and his opponent made the call.
The turn brought a 2♠ and Smith bet 15,000. His opponent thought briefly before making the call.
The river was the A♠ and Smith announced all in for 29,500. After his opponent went deep in the tank, he eventually made the call.
Dan Smith: A♥K♠
Cutoff: K♥Xx
The dealer quickly mucked his opponent's hand before pushing the pot to Smith.

Juha Helppi open-shoved all in from the cutoff for 39,400 chips, and got action from the player in the small blind who raised to 75,000. The big blind folded.
Juha Helppi: A♠5♥
Small blind: 7♥7♠
The flop was 3♥2♥J♦, giving Helppi the wheel draw.
The turn was the 10♥, which cost Helppi one of his outs, as the 4♥ would now make his opponent a better flush. It was down to two aces and three fours for Helppi to get a save for his tournament. The 4♣ rolled off on the river, completing his wheel and giving him the double-up.
Level: 10
Blinds: 1,000/2,000
Ante: 2,000
Action was caught on the turn of 8♠6♦3♠6♥. Brandon Sheils was on the hijack and went all in for 42,300. After some reluctance, he got called by the player on the button. Sheils showed A♣6♣ for trip sixes, while his opponent had K♦J♥, which meant he was drawing dead on the turn. The river was the 9♦ and it was an easy double up for Sheils to a stack of about 100 big blinds.
Maria Ho in middle position found herself at risk in a three-way all in and call situation against Armin Ghojehvand in the hijack and Roland Rokita in the small blind.
Maria Ho: A♣9♣
Roland Rokita: K♣K♠
Armin Ghojehvand: A♠8♣
Ghojehvand with the biggest stack flopped two pair on A♦8♥4♥5♣J♦, sending his two opponents to the rail.
