On a 8♦6♦3♠8♠A♦ completed board, Milos Petakovic had 1,250,000 over the line in the big blind and was facing a jam by Vitor Dzivielevski in the small blind.
Petakovic tanked for several minutes and ultimately put in his remaining stack of about 1,050,000.
Dzivielevski tabled 8♥6♥ for a full house, and Petakovic's 9♦2♦ went into the muck as he made his exit.
Niveau: 27
Blinds: 50,000/100,000
Ante: 100,000
Action folded to Frank Lagodich on the button who raised to 160,000. Troy Quenneville was in the big blind and made the call to see the 3♠3♣9♣ flop.
Quenneville checked over to Lagodich who continued with a bet of 100,000. Quenneville made the call and the dealer put the J♣ out on the turn.
Action checked through to the Q♦ river.
Quenneville checked once more only to see Lagodich come out with another bet, this time for 350,000. Quenneville wasn't quick to release his hand, but after a moment, he checked his cards one last time and sent them into the muck.
Kelvin Kerber moved all in for about 625,000 in the hijack and Pedro Garagnani called on the button.
Kelvin Kerber: A♥9♦
Pedro Garagnani: A♣J♠
The A♦8♥3♣ flop kept Garagnani ahead and the 7♠ turn dashed any hopes of a chop. The J♥ river confirmed the result and Garagnani took the pot to knock out his fellow Brazilian.
On a 5♥3♠2♣ flop, Jose Zurita was all in for approximately 1,600,000 in the hijack and at risk against Adam Walton in the big blind.
Jose Zurita: K♠K♣
Adam Walton: 5♦2♦
Walton flopped two pair to lead the kings, and the Q♣ turn and 7♠ river left five-deuce with the best hand. Zurita made his exit, while Walton took the pot to move up to an eight-figure stack.
Adam Walton raised to 160,000 from early position and found one caller in Hao Chuang from the big blind before seeing a 5♣3♠6♦ flop.
The action checked through to the 10♣, on which action checked through for a second time to see the A♥ hit the river.
Chuang checked to Walton and Walton reached for chips, but before he could assemble a bet, Chuang quickly folded and conceded the pot to Walton with the simple act of reaching into his stack being enough to take this one down.
Junior Guelpa was all in for 2,170,000 on the button and at risk against Christopher Puetz under the gun.
Junior Guelpa: A♠A♦
Christopher Puetz: Q♠Q♣
The board ran out 10♦9♥7♥5♥7♦ and the aces stayed in front to secure Guelpa's double, leaving Puetz short-stacked.
Up at the feature table, Rayan Chamas got his stack all in preflop and was flipping for his tournament life against Yinan Zhou in a pot worth 2.77 million.
Rayan Chamas: 10♦10♦
Yinan Zhou: A♥Q♦
Chamas was looking to hold and did so through both the 5♠9♠3♥ flop and 3♣ turn, but then disaster struck as the Q♣ spiked on the river to pair Zhou.
Ioannis Konstas moved all in for 640,000 from under the gun and Takashi Ogura rejammed the small blind.
Ioannis Konstas: A♠J♦
Takashi Ogura: A♣K♦
The 9♠9♥7♥ flop brought chop possibilities and the dealer slowly burned and turned to the 6♥ turn which changed nothing. Konstas tried to summon some river help, but the 2♦ completed the board and the Greek player was eliminated.
