Players had already left the room for break as Stephen Chidwick and Joey Weissman stayed behind to build a pot of around 75,000 on a flop of K♥6♦5♦.

Chidwick quickly folded as Weissman took the pot before leaving for break.

Heads-up on a flop of J♦5♥4♦, Niklas Astedt bet 6,000 from the hijack before Jean-Noel Thorel moved all in from middle position. Astedt quickly called for around 20,000 more.
Niklas Astedt: A♦9♦
Jean-Noel Thorel: Q♣Q♠
Astedt needed to improve against Thorel's queens as the 3♠ turn kept Thorel in the lead. "Flush," Astedt pleaded, but he instead saw the 7♣ fall on the river to send him to the rail.
