Guiyang Wang raised to 2,000 from under the gun, Giorgiy Skhuluhiya called in late position, Grigoli Liklikadzei called on the button and the big blind came along.
The flop came 6♥10♦10♥ and action checked to Liklikadze, who made it 3,000 to go. Only Skhuluhiya made the call.
The turn was the J♦ and Skhuluhiya checked. Liklikadze bet 8,500 and Skhuluhiya called. The river came the Q♦ and both players checked to showdown.
Skhuluhiya had A♥J♠ for two pair, jacks with the tens on board. Liklikadze mucked and Skhuluhiya scooped the pot, chipping up to around 230,000.

Hassan Halil raised to 2,200 from the hijack and was called by Danielle Noja in the big blind for a heads-up pot.
Noja checked to Halil, who continued for 2,200 on the 7♦8♥J♣ flop. Noja then announced he was all-in for approximately 8,000 and Halil snap-called to put Noja at risk.
Danielle Noja: 10♦8♦
Hassan Halil: A♣J♦
"I need a nine," Noja said upon seeing Halil's hand.
Noja had a few more outs than that, however, the Q♣ turn and 2♠ river kept Halil best with his pair of jacks and Noja was eliminated.

Mateus Sikora opened to 2,100 from the cutoff and was three-bet to 5,300 by Serghei Tsoy in on the button. It was folded back around to Sikora, who made the call.
Sikora check-called a 6,500 bet from Tsoy on the A♥J♠2♣ flop and then both players checked on the 8♠ turn.
The 3♥ filled the river and Sikora put 4,000 into the middle. Tsoy decided to look him up and Sikora tabled A♣6♣ for a pair of aces.
Tsoy couldn't beat it and mucked — conceding the pot to Sikora.

It's official. After its return in 2023 following a 12-year hiatus, PokerStars has confirmed that The Big Game on Tour is back again this year, with more episodes to be filmed at the NAPT Las Vegas festival.
Ten episodes of the show were filmed last year, with the likes of Phil Hellmuth, Maria Ho, Lex Veldhuis and Sam Grafton all taking part. The show features a lucky Loose Cannon who receives $50,000 and has to survive 150 hands playing $50/$100 with a table of poker pros, ambassadors, and celebrities.
PokerNews spoke with Big Game on Tour judge and commentator James Hartigan ahead of the show's return, and he says he's thrilled the show is back.

The board ran out 7♠9♦J♦9♥5♠ and Tashliyev held with his ace-high to win the pot, sending Nikolov to the exit.

Joao Tomas opened the action with a raise to 1,700 from the hijack, which was exactly the amount Hadi Khordbin had left on the button. Khordbin went all in, and both blinds, Khalil Cumsille and Chrysi Phiniotis, called.
After the blinds checked to him on the A♥7♥8♣ flop, Tomas made a continuation bet of 2,500, and both Cumsille and Phiniotis called.
On the K♠ turn, Cumsille checked, and this time Phiniotis led out with a bet of 2,500, again drawing calls from both players.
The A♣ river prompted Phiniotis to fire a hefty 8,500 bet. Tomas took his time before shoving all in, forcing both Phiniotis and Cumsille to fold. With Khordbin all-in, it went to showdown. Tomas revealed K♣Q♦ for a pair of kings, but Khordbin had A♦6♦ for trip aces, scooping the main pot. Tomas, however, claimed a solid side pot, leaving some raised eyebrows at the table.

Halil Gungor opened to 2,000 from early position and action folded to Maxim Brovko in the big blind, who shoved for his last 14,000. Gungor quickly called to put himself at risk and a showdown was held.
Halil Gungor: A♣A♦
Maxim Brovko: A♠K♠
It was a bit of a cooler for Brovko, who was in rough shape against Gungor's aces.
The 8♥J♦J♣6♥2♣ runout changed nothing and Gungor doubled up.
