John Juanda's stack was in the middle from the small blind, facing off against Ayman Qutami in the big blind.
John Juanda: Q♠Q♣ 
Ayman Qutami: 5♥5♦
Both players revealed their pocket pair, with Juanda's queens holding through the 3♣8♥2♦3♦J♦ runout to secure the double. That left Qutami with just three big blinds.
Evan Lindemann opened to 100,000 in early position, and Gabriel Karlsson made the call in the small blind. Alexandre Arnold then three-bet to 425,000 in the big blind, and Lindemann stuck in the call.
Karlsson got out of the way, and the Q♣J♣9♥ flop saw both remaining players check. Arnold led out for 350,000 on the 7♦ turn, and Lindemann stuck in the call.
Arnold checked the A♦ river, and Lindemann counted out a bet of 1,200,000. That produced a fold from Arnold, as Lindemann raked in the pot.

David Miscikowski opened to 100,000 from middle position. Nicolas Jean in the hijack three-bet to 275,000, but Miscikowski eventually four-bet to 625,000.
