Marcos Exterkotter opened to 63,000 from early position and received a call from Thai Ha in the hijack.
Both players checked through the Q♣J♣6♥ flop leading to the 8♥ on the turn. Exterkotter bet 125,000 and Ha raised to 405,000. Exterkotter announced that he was all in and Ha quickly made the call to put him at risk.
Marcos Exterkotter: K♦K♣
Thai Ha: 10♥9♣
Exterkotter was drawing dead with his overpair against Ha, who had hit a straight on the turn. The 10♣ river changed nothing and Exterkotter was sent to the rail one spot away from the final table.
In a three-way limped pot, the action was on Wai Kiat Lee on the button who squeezed to 80,000. Only David Prociak, who was under the gun, called.
The flop came Q♦K♠8♦. Prociak check-called a bet of 100,000 from Lee.
The turned 9♦ now saw Prociak take the lead with a bet of 215,000. Lee called.
The river fell the A♣ and Prociak bet again, this time for 390,000. Lee spent almost three minutes in the tank before finally deciding to toss his cards into the muck.
With players three-handed on a board reading Q♣7♦10♣Q♥ and about 250,000 in the middle, action was checked around by Moses Alosh, Robert James and David Prociak.
The river was the 6♣. Alosh bet 55,000, James called and Prociak raised it to 258,000. Alosh got out of the way and James made the call.
James tabled A♠10♠ for two pair while Prociak held 6♦6♥ for a rivered full house to take down another big pot while making a serious dent in James' stack.
With the board reading 8♣7♠6♣ Matan Gabay found himself all in and at risk against Marcos Exterkotter.
Matan Gabay: 10♥9♦
Marcos Exterkotter: Ax9x
Both players had flopped a straight, with Exterkotter catching the bottom end and Gabay flopping the nuts. The rest of the board ran out Q♠J♠ and Gabay got a clean double through Exterkotter, shortly after Exterkotter himself had secured a double up.
Marcos Exterkotter in the cutoff and Thai Ha on the button ended up with all the money in preflop with Exterkotter at risk.
Marcos Exterkotter: A♣A♥
Thai Ha: A♠K♦
Ha flopped the world as it came 9♠10♠Q♠. Unfortunately for him, the turn and river bricked as it came 7♦ and the 7♥ respectively. Exterkotter's aces earned him the full double.
With players heads up, the board reading 8♠8♥7♠10♣A♠ and about 180,000 in the middle, Robert James checked and Wai Kiat Lee bet 175,000. James thought about his decision for about 90 seconds before making the call.
Lee tabled 9♠6♠ for a rivered straight flush and James was forced to concede the pot.
With all the players at the table limping in, Robert James on the button squeezed to 70,000. Wai Kiat Lee folded and both David Prociak in the hijack and Moses Alosh in the cutoff called.
The flop came 8♠8♣10♠ and the action was checked to James, who bet out for 85,000. Prociak raised to 290,000 and both Alosh and James got out of the way. Prociak chipped up again without a showdown.
