After the player under the gun opened, John Cenato in the cutoff three-bet. The button called, as well as the initial raiser.

The dealer fanned a flop of 6♠A♥J♥. Centano continued to bet, and was called only once, by the cutoff.

On the turn 10♠, Cenato bet again, and his opponent called. And when the river 2♠ came, Cenato moved all in for his last 500 chips. The cutoff called but let his hand go when Cenato revealed A♣K♠.

Players at the table played another hand right after, before the table broke.

Quite new in the field, Shimizu Nozomu raised it up from under the gun and was only called by Moshe Gavrieli in the small blind.

On the flop 8♣Q♦5♥, Nozomu continued betting. But Gavrieli didn't give up. Then, the 9♦ came on the turn, but the action slowed down at this point as both players checked.

And when the river 4♦ appeared on the table, Gavrieli took the lead. Nozomu waited a few seconds to check his cards and think about his decision, and called with A♠K♣.

Gavrieli had 10♠7♠ for a missed straight draw and left the pot to Nozomu, who is looking for a third WSOP final table this summer.
