Jeremy Ausmus opened to 175,000 from the cutoff and Daniel Strelitz three-bet to 600,000 from the small blind. When it got back to Ausmus, he called.
The flop of J♦2♦A♦ saw Strelitz fire a bet of 350,000, and Ausmus quickly folded.
Robert Natividad raised to 180,000 from middle position and got called by Richard Dixon in the hijack and Daniel Sepiol from the big blind.
They all saw a flop of 4♥J♠A♠ and Natividad continued for 360,000 which got Dixon and Sepiol to quickly fold.
Aaron Pinson raised to 160,000 from early position. Robert Natividad three-bet to 450,000 from middle position. Pinson jammed all in and was met with a snap-call.
Aaron Pinson: 10♥10♣ 
Robert Natividad: A♣A♦
The flop came 7♣4♦2♥, the turn was the K♥ and the river was the 7♥ to eliminate Pinson and give Natividad another elimination thanks to pocket aces.
James Davidson opened from the hijack to 180,000 and Robert Natividad called from the small blind.
Both checked the 2♥9♠5♦ flop to see a 4♦ fall on the turn. Natividad led out for 360,000, and Davidson called.
On the 2♣ river, Natividad collected some of each color chip he had and fired a bet of 660,000. Davidson, undeterred by the bet, made a quick call.
Natividad announced that he had a king and showed K♦J♦ but Davidson tabled the winner with his A♦K♣.

Darius Samual: K♣K♥
Robert Natividad: A♦A♣
It was the classic cooler as the flop came A♥2♥4♥ to give Natividad another ace but also give Samual some hope with the heart dangler. The turn was the 3♦ and the river came the case ace A♠ to eliminate Samual via quads.
Kyriakos Papadopoulos opened to 120,000 and both James Davidson & Jeremy Ausmus called from the blinds.
On the 10♣K♣6♠ flop, Davidson check-called a bet of 105,000 from Papadopoulos, and Ausmus folded.
A 2♦ hit the turn and Davidson bet 160,000, Papadopoulos raised to 500,000, Davidson shoved, and Papadopoulos called.
Kyriakos Papadopoulos: A♥A♠
James Davidson: K♠7♠
Papadopoulos was a firm favorite to double-up but couldn't manage it as the 7♦ river improved Davidson to two pair.
