Hugues Mazerolle opened to 160,000 in early position and two seats to his left, Matthew Uren called.
The flop came 6♠Q♥8♦. Mazerolle check-called Uren's 200,000 bet.
On the K♥ turn, Mazerolle check-raised Uren's bet of 255,000 to 650,000. Uren called.
On the 2♥ river, Mazerolle shoved all-in for around 3,000,000 sending Uren to the tank with only 1,130,000 behind. The break was already starting and Uren was still thinking of what to do.
He finally folded his hand showing Kx. Mazerolle told him to choose one of his cards to check. Uren turned over a J♥ and left the table looking visibly frustrated.
Mohammad Abu-Hadbah in the small blind saw his 710,000-chip stack being called by Vladyslav Shovkovyi in the cutoff.
Mohammad Abu-Hadbah: K♠K♣
Vladyslav Shovkovyi: A♦4♠
Abu-Hadbah hit a set on 8♠10♣9♠K♥6♣ to secure a double up. "Donation! Donation! Thank you," he loudly cheered while doubling up.
"Do you have earplugs?" his neighbor asked PokerNews.
Ke Xu under the gun shoved all-in for 625,000. Eran Cohen in middle position shoved all-in as well for 540,000 pushing everyone else out of the pot.
Eran Cohen: K♣K♥
Ke Xu: K♠Q♠
The board ran J♥3♠5♦3♥K♦. Cohen was ahead, and his lead was cemented with a full house on the river for a double-up, leaving Xu without enough chips to pay both the big blind and the ante.
On the very next hand, Xu was forced all-in with 85,000. Kevin Kelly under the gun fired 160,000 and got everyone to fold around.
Ke Xu: J♣7♥
Kevin Kelly: A♠J♦
Xu was dominated, and nothing helped him on the runout of 8♥5♠Q♦3♠A♥. Xu left the table as Kelly scooped the pot.
John Ypma in middle position was all-in and at risk for 635,000 against George Papava in the big blind.
John Ypma: Q♦8♦
George Papava: 5♣5♥
Ypma flopped a straight draw and a flush draw on K♦J♦10♣. The J♣ turn changed nothing, but he hit the A♥ river to double up and leave Papava with just 50,000.
Jesse Cohen jammed for 115,000 from the cutoff and Grant Anderson in the big blind called.
Jesse Cohen: A♦5♦
Grant Anderson: K♥8♥
Cohen kept the lead all the way through a board of 9♥5♠10♠J♣4♠ and he doubled up.

Sara Dehghani limped in hijack, and Richard Freitas in the small blind did the same. Benjamin Ector in the big blind checked his option, leading them to the flop.
The flop dropped 4♠10♥Q♥, and all three players checked.
The turn produced a 6♦. After a check from Freitas, Ector fired 150,000 and only Dehghani called to see the last card.
Ector shot out 100,000 after a few seconds of thought on the river 6♥. Dehghani raised to 450,000, making Ector lean back on his chair, visibly frustrated. He looked at the ceiling and mumbled, looking like he was calculating something.
Finally, he folded his hand and told Dehghani, "Show your bluff!"
Dehghani replied, "My bluff?" then turned over 9♦9♠.
Ector commented, "You didn't have the best hand."
Dehghani looked at him incredulously and said, "Come on. Be honest."
Greg Feirman jammed for 760,000 from middle position and he was called by David Le Coroller on the button.
Greg Feirman: 4♦4♥
David Le Coroller: A♠J♥
Feirman stood up when Le Coroller flopped top pair on 8♦A♦9♦. But after the 3♣ turn, Feirman rivered a flush with the 10♦ to double up.
