Isaac Haxton raised to 3,500 from the hijack. Justin Bonomo three-bet to 9,500 on the button and Haxton called. Haxton check-called 6,000 from Bonomo on the flop and 12,000 on the turn.
Both players checked the river, which turned out to be a wise decision by Bonomo as Haxton rolled over for, oh, just quad aces. Bonomo mucked and the two laughed a bit afterwards.
Josip Simunic raised to 3,800 and Emmanuel Pariset called in the small blind, as did Mustapha Kanit in the big blind. On the flop, Pariset bet 5,000 and Kanit folded, Simunic called. The turn saw pariset check-call a bet worth 7,000 before the river was checked through. Pariset showed and Simunic had that beat with .
Hand 2
One hand later, Julian Stuer raised to 4,400 and Anthony Zinno called in the cutoff. On the button, Pariset shoved for 19,500 and Stuer reshoved to get Zinno out of the way. Zinno took more than the 30 seconds on the shot clock, though, and had to forfeit one time bank card.

Soon after busting his first bullet, Sergio Aido bought in for attempt number two. Salman Behbehani busted yesterday and also jumped in just now while below are further assorted counts.
There was action between Rainer Kempe and Erik Seidel on a flop. Kempe had a T-5,000 chip in front of him, Seidel check-raised to 11,300 and Kempe called. Seidel bet 15,000 on the turn and Kempe called again.
On the river, Seidel checked how much Kempe had behind - 33,000 - and moved all in. The German high-roller needed two time bank chips to come to a decision and eventually folded.
Paul Newey shoved for his last 12,000 out of the small blind and Charlie Carrel quickly called in the big blind.
Charlie Carrel:
Paul Newey:
Despite the jinx attempts of Max Silver from one seat over, Carrel had little to fear on a board of . "You gonna jump back in?" Carrel asked Newey, but the fellow Brit replied "I can't, it was my second bullet."
The stack of Romain Lewis vanished and traveled approximately 20 centimeters over to Oleksii Khoroshenin.
Sergio Aido busted the Main Event earlier today and jumped into the High Roller not long ago. He raised to 3,000 and Pavel Plesuv called, as did Oliver Weis. On the button, Byron Kaverman raised to 18,000 and Aido shoved for starting stack. Only Kaverman called and the cards were turned over.
