Gil Nehamkin raised from late position to 90,000 only for Robert Nehorayan to three-bet pot to 300,000 from the button. Philip Shing called from the big blind, and Nehamkin put his last 36,000 into the pot and was all in for 126,000.
The flop came 2♣8♥10♥, Shing checked and Nehorayan instantly threw out a bet of 300,000, which put Shing all in. Shing snap called.
Gil Nehamkin: 8♣7♣6♣5♥
Philip Shing: K♥Q♠J♠4♥
Robert Nehorayan: A♠K♠J♣5♦
The 9♣ peeled off on the turn and gave Shing a straight and left Nehorayan drawing dead. The 10♠ fell on the river to wrap things up and Shing was pushed the massive pot as well as sending Nehamkin to the rail.
Chunghau Liao potted to 70,000 under the gun and picked up a call from Michael Monroig on the button. Adel Jo then ripped for 238,000 in the big blind, and Liao backripped his stack after a lengthy tank. Monroig got out of the way instantly.
Adel Jo: A♥A♣5♦2♦
Chunghau Liao: A♠K♥10♠8♥
The flop was a wild one, as 8♦Q♦J♠ gave Liao a ton of outs, with a wrap as well as two pair, and trip draws. The 9♠ got him there instantly, and the 10♦ improved him to Broadway. The table, thinking Jo was dead on the turn, burst into laughter upon noticing that Broadway was no good, as Jo had made a flush with his rags to stay alive.
Gil Nehamkin limped under the gun and Robert Nehorayan limped behind in the cutoff. Philip Shing then made it 100,000 to go in the small blind and both of his opponents called.
The flop came 9♣3♠K♣, Shing checked, Nehamkin bet 340,000 and Nehorayan moved all in for 655,000. Nehamkin called with the covering stack.
Robert Nehorayan: K♠K♥Q♥6♥
Gil Nehamkin: A♣10♣J♦3♥
Nehorayan's set of kings was in the lead but Nehamkin had plenty of outs with the nut flush draw and gutshot. The turn landed the 2♦ and the river brought the 5♦, earning Nehorayan the big double up.
Ralph Porter had opened from the hijack and Amnon Filippi ended up getting his stack of 548,000 in from the button after a series of raises against Porter.
Amnon Filippi : A♣A♠2♣7♥
Ralph Porter: K♠K♦5♥5♦
Filippi had the best of it with his aces, and they managed to hold up as the 8♥J♥6♠8♦6♣ runout kept him in the lead.
There was plenty of action preflop, as Ivan Starostin was all in and covered, with 371,000 up for grabs in the main pot. Didrik Mantor found himself in the same situation; however he was playing for an additional 128,000 in his side pot. Matt Vengrin was in contention for it all.
Ivan Starostin: A♦K♣Q♣6♦
Didrik Mantor: A♥K♥10♦9♠
Matt Vengrin: A♠J♦6♠5♣
It was anybody's game preflop, but the commanding lead went to Vengrin as he flopped trips on 9♣J♣J♥. The 7♦ turn was an interesting one, as both the covered players now had gutshots to add to their Broadway chop draw. They needed to hit while fading a club, but couldn't do so as the 2♦ sent them both packing.
