With roughly 4,000 in the pot and a flop of 9♣2♠3♠, Leonard Maue checked from the big blind and Diego Ventura bet 2,700 from the button.
Maue then woke up with a check-raise to 7,000 and that was all it took as Ventura quickly released his cards.

Artur Martirosian raised to 1,500 from the button only to have Jeremie Zouari three-bet jam for 6,300 from the small blind. Martirosian tossed in the call and the hands were turned on their back.
Jeremie Zouari: A♥4♣
Artur Martirosian: 9♥10♦
Zouari got it in ahead and held on the 3♥2♥J♣ flop. The 8♠ turn did give Martirosian an up-and-down straight draw to go with his two live cards, but the 8♣ on the river was a brick.
Ship the double to Zouari.

Jesse Lonis had opened from the cutoff only for Justin Bonomo to three-bet to 4,000 from the button. Junhyougn Ki then put in a four-bet to 13,000 and Lonis folded. Bonomo moved all in for approximately 35,000 and Ki snap-called with a covering stack to put Bonomo at risk.
Justin Bonomo: A♠Q♥
Junhyoung Ki: A♦K♣
Bonomo was in rough shape with a weaker ace and the K♠9♦5♦ flop left him drawing nearly dead. He found no improvement on the 7♣ turn or 4♠ river and made his exit from the tournament area while Ki took down a nice early pot.

Lucas Greenwood opened to 1,500 from the hijack and received calls from Renat Bohdanov on the button and Maxime Dube in the big blind.
The flop came 9♠7♠6♥ and action checked around to Bohdanov who bet 1,100. Dube check-raised to 4,700 and received a call from Greenwood while Bohdanov folded.
Dube bet again for 12,000 on the A♣ turn and this time it was enough to force a fold from Greenwood.

Players are now on their first 15-minute break of the day.
One day after being accused of cheating a California home game out of millions, Tony Mars issued a statement to PokerNews denying the allegations.
Wesley Fei and Nikhil "Nik Airball" Arcot, both Hustler Casino Live regulars, claim that Mars, who also plays on HCL, brought a special UV-marked deck that allowed him to decipher face-down cards.
The alleged scandal occurred in a game at a private residence in Yorba Linda, California, a community in Orange County.

A big hand just went down over at Table 85, thought the exact action escaped us. What we do know is that the board read 2♠K♣3♥Q♥6♣ when Koichi Chiba got the last of his chips in against Maxime Dube.
Koichi Chiba: K♦J♦
Maxime Dube: A♠K♥
Both players had flopped top pair, but Dube's kicker was best to score the knockout.
