Sean Winter raised to 27,000 from under the gun, leaving himself 8,000 behind the line. Enrico Camosci, in the cutoff, called.
Winters checked in the dark as the dealer spread the Q♠7♣K♦ flop. Camosci put him all in for his last 8,000 and Winter snap-called.
Sean Winter: A♣10♥
Enrico Camosci: A♦9♦
The 5♣ turn and 3♣ river saw Winter's kicker play and he doubled up.
Niklas Astedt opened to 13,000 from early position with K♥5♥ and Byron Kaverman defended his big blind with A♥J♣
Kaverman check-called a 16,000 bet from Astedt on the 4♦K♠Q♠ flop and both players checked on the J♦ turn.
The 2♦ completed the board and Kaverman checked again, prompting a 50,000 bet from Astedt. Kaverman tanked, but eventually found a fold with his pair of jacks and Astedt collected the pot.
David Coleman was all in for 154,000 against Vladimir Korzinin.
David Coleman: Q♦Q♥
Vladimir Korzinin: 7♠7♦
Both players made flushes on the 10♦8♦5♥A♦J♦ board, but Coleman's was best and he doubled up.
The pot stood at 18,000 in a blind versus blind confrontation with the flop reading 8♦Q♥6♥.
Jean-Noel Thorel, in the small blind, check-called a bet of 9,000 from David Coleman, in the big blind.
The 10♠ turn saw a repeat of the action, this time Coelman sized up to 27,000.
The J♦ river prompted a check from Thorel. Coleman fired once more, this time for 70,000 and Thorel called.
Coleman rolled over 7♦4♥, while Thorel easily claimed this pot with a turned set with 10♦10♥.
Nick Petrangelo opened to 13,000 and Sean Winter three-bet to 60,000 with 35,000 behind.
Tom Orpaz then appeared to put out 15,000, possibly just to call Petrangelo's initial open, but after being prompted by Sam Grafton he called the 60,000.
It folded back around to Petrangelo who appeared pleasantly confused. "Good sizing," he said to Winter before shaking his head and folding.
The flop came Q♠J♥10♣ and Winter checked. Orpaz bet enough to put Winter all in, and he used his full 30 seconds before folding. Orpaz flashed the A♣ and took down the pot.
Byron Kaverman called from the small blind with 8♣6♠ and Kayhan Mokri checked his option in the big blind with J♥4♣.
Kaverman check-called a 6,000 bet from Mokri on the 8♠10♦9♣ flop and a 37,000 bet from Mokri on the 5♣ turn.
The A♦ completed the board and both players checked.
Kaverman showed the best hand with his pair of eights and Mokri mucked.
David Coleman opened to 13,000 and Vladimir Korzinin three-bet all in for 131,000. It folded to Biao Ding who four-bet all in and the remaining players, including Coleman, folded.
Vladimir Korzinin: 10♣9♣
Biao Ding: A♥K♣
Korzinin picked up a pair and a whole lot more on the J♣9♥8♣ flop and held on the 9♠10♦ runout to double to just above starting stack.
Sam Grafton raised to 12,000 from the cutoff, receiving calls from Justin Saliba in the small blind and Nick Petrangelo in the big blind.
The 7♣3♥7♥ flop checked through to the 4♣ on the turn. Saliba checked and Petrangelo took the lead for a sizeable over-bet of 70,000. Grafton called and Saliba folded.
The J♠ river saw Petrangelo empty the clip, moving all in for Grafton's effective stack of 206,000. Grafton nearly beat him into the pot with a call for his tournament life.
Sam Grafton: 6♠6♦
Nick Petrangelo: 5♠2♣
Grafton's pocket pair was best and he found an early double.
