Artur Martirosian raised to 26,000 in early position and Mehdi Chaoui three-bet to 60,000 on the button. Martirosian then moved all in and Chaoui called for 332,000.
Mehdi Chaoui: A♠A♦ 
Artur Martirosian: K♦K♣
Chaoui had woken up with aces against Martirosian's kings and held on through the 6♠J♠7♠2♥4♣ board to earn a double up.
Biao Ding opened to 25,000 from the hijack, and Daniel Rezaei defended his big blind.
Rezaei check-called for 41,000 on the 10♦9♣5♦ flop. Rezaei checked for a second time on the 2♣ turn, and Ding sized up to 125,000. Rezaei then jammed for 499,000, sending Ding into the tank.
Ding had around double the stack of Rezaei and riffled his chips as he thought over his options. Ultimately, he settled on a fold, and Rezaei took in the pot.
Around 175,000 was already in the middle as Roman Hrabec and Thomas Eychenne went heads-up to the 10♦10♥5♣ flop. Eychenne then bet 40,000 from the button, Hrabec raised to 175,000 in middle position, and Eychenne called.

The fourth season of the North American Poker Tour (NAPT) run by PokerStars is well underway and the action only continues to heat up with the recent schedule release for its marquee stop in Las Vegas. Running from Friday November 1st through Sunday November 10th at Resorts World Las Vegas, the series is not one to miss as it features a whopping 36 tournaments in the span of a week and a half.
Buy-ins range from just $250 all the way up to $25,000 so there are plenty of options for those who want to enjoy some live tournament action without breaking the bank while also providing an opportunity for high stakes regulars to satisfy their desire to play for eye watering sums of money. The high volume means the series comes with a healthy $4,000,000 in total guarantees, including a sizable $3,000,000 set aside for the $5,300 Main Event.
Action folded around to Vicente Delgado and Enrico Camosci in the blinds as Camosci got his last 200,000 in the middle and Delgado put him at risk.
Enrico Camosci: A♦9♥
Vicente Delgado: A♠A♥
Delgado had picked up aces and Camosci was left needing a miracle to stay alive in the tournament. He instead watched helplessly as the board ran out 6♦K♦5♣J♣4♣ to send him off to the rail.
Artur Martirosian raised to 26,000 from the button before Alexander Zubov made it 110,000 from the small blind. Martirosian clicked it to 250,000 and Zubov stuck around.
Zubov check-called for 52,000 on the 5♠4♦2♣ flop after using a time bank. On the K♦ turn, Zubov check-folded to a bet of 240,000.
Heads-up on a flop of 7♥5♣3♠, Manuel Fritz bet 23,000 from the big blind and Adrian Mateos raised to 90,000 in the cutoff. Fritz then reraised to 160,000 and Mateos called.
The turn was the 4♣ and Fritz bet 125,000. Mateos called to see the K♣ river, where Fritz bet another 90,000. Mateos then moved all in.
Fritz instantly let out a deep groan as he went deep into the tank considering the decision for his last 380,000. He burned through four time banks and took several minutes before calling. Mateos showed K♥6♥ for a straight and Fritz tossed 4♦3♦ into the muck on his way to the exit.
"He was thinking it was a good card for him, but it was not a good card for him," Mikalai Vaskaboinikau said after Fritz had gone.
Steve O'Dwyer jammed for 121,000 from the hijack and Roman Hrabec called after some thought in the big blind.
Steve O'Dwyer: 8♠7♠
Roman Hrabec: A♠2♣
Hrabec made trips on the A♣A♥7♥ flop to become the huge favorite. The 5♣10♥ completed the board and marked O'Dwyer's departure.
Mikalai Vaskaboinikau opened to 25,000 from early position. Adrian Mateos and Daniel Rezaei called from the button and small blind.
Vaskaboinikau continued for 42,000 on the 10♥5♦6♠ flop and was called in both spots. Vaskaboinikau sized down to 40,000 on the K♦ turn. This time Mateos was the only caller.
The 3♠ river then checked through to showdown, where Vaskaboinikau's J♣J♠ was good for the pot.
Artur Martirosian raised to 26,000 under the gun and Nikita Kuznetsov called on the button.
The flop came 7♦10♣4♣ and Martirosian bet 55,000. Kuznetsov called as the 2♦ turn was checked through.
Martirosian then bet 145,000 on the Q♠ river and Kuznetsov quickly folded.
A few hands later, Kuznetsov went heads-up to a flop of J♣9♣2♥ against Thomas Eychenne. Kuznetsov bet 27,000 from the hijack, Eychenne raised to 100,000 in the big blind, and Kuznetsov called.
Both players checked the 4♥ turn and 7♦ river as Eychenne showed 6♣2♣ for a pair of deuces. Kuznetsov turned over A♣4♣ and took the pot with a pair of fours.
