George Tomescu kicked the action off with a raise to 25,000 from the cutoff, which only Julien Sitbon called in the big blind.
The dealer provided a 4♣2♦K♦ flop, which saw Sitbon check-call a bet of 13,000 before the action checked through on the 10♥ turn.
Sitbon took the initiative on the Q♠ river, betting 58,000, and Tomescu opted to fold.

: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Daniyal Gheba in the big blind and Josh Reichard under the gun were looking at a pot of around 80,000 while they waited for the flop.
Both players checked the 10♦6♠7♥ flop. On the A♦ turn, Gheba check-called Reichard's 50,000 bet.
After a check, Reichard fired 125,000 on the Q♦ river, sending Gheba to the tank. Gheba thought it over before making the call.
Reichard turned over his cards with only the 10♣ showing, but immediately threw his cards into the muck pile after Gheba showed 7♦5♦ for a flush.

Yong Wang raised to 28,000 on the button and only Ivan Ruban called out of the big blind.
The flop came down Q♠10♠10♥ and both players checked to see the 4♠ arrive on the turn. Ruban bet 52,000, which Wang called.
A 3♣ hit the river and Ruban bet 127,000. The bet was for around a third of Wang's stack, and after giving it some thought, Wang flicked in the call.
Ruban showed a missed straight draw with K♠J♦, and lost the pot to Wang's 8♣8♦ for just a pair of eights, two pair with the tens on board.

Bryan Piccioli raised to 27,000 from under the gun and was called by Clemen Deng on the button.
Both players checked through the 8♠5♦7♦ flop to bring the J♣ turn.
Piccioli checked again on the 9♦ river. Deng responded with a river bet of 80,000. Piccioli quickly mucked his hand as Deng dragged in the pot.

Matthew Wantman raised from the button to 24,000, and Clemen Deng called to defend his big blind. The flop arrived with 5♠Q♦5♣, and both players checked.
The 7♣ was also checked by both players on the turn.
On the river 10♠, Deng checked, and Wantman bet out 21,000. Deng took some time to contemplate and moved all in for 223,000. Wantman went into the think tank and called and mucked when he saw that Deng had a full house. A few of the players teased the dealer that he was supposed to show the other hand, but it was too late.
Deng raked in his newfound chips.

Ivan Ruban in cutoff and Casey Hatmaker on the button had built a pot of 50,000 when the dealer flopped 5♠7♣10♣.
Ruban made a pot sized bet of 50,000 and Hatmaker, after mulling things over a bit, called to see another card.
Ruban took his time to act with the 8♥ turn. He made it 125,000 which was enough to push Hatmaker off the hand.
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Peter Mugar opened to 24,000 from the cutoff, which only Maurice Hawkins called in the big blind.
Hawkins came out firing on the 7♣Q♣10♠ flop, putting a bet of 16,000 into the middle. Undeterred, Mugar called.
The action checked through on both the 9♠ turn and the 3♥ river.
"Bottom pair", Hawkins announced before mucking when Mugar flipped over 8♠8♦ to claim the pot.
