Action was caught on the turn, with 125,000 in the pot on the 4♣3♠4♠8♠ board.

Faraz Jaka bet 50,000 from the big blind and Sam Soverel called from the button.

On the 8♥ river, Jaka sized up to 100,000 and Soverel went into the tank. He eventually found a call but gave his hand a long funeral after Jaka tabled 10♠5♠ for the flush.

The following hand, Jaka opened to 25,000 and was called.

Soverel check-called for 25,000 on the K♠5♠4♥ flop, before folding to a bet of 80,000 on the J♣ turn.

Since finding a three-outer to double earlier on, it's been all Jaka in this duel.

Sam Soverel limped on the button for 10,000, before Faraz Jaka raised to make it 28,000. Soverel immediately jammed all-in to put Jaka at risk for his last 216,000. Jaka flicked in a chip to make the call.

Faraz Jaka A♦Q♦

Needing to improve to stay alive, the flop ran off6♥A♥8♦. Although Jaka hit his Ace, he would still need help, and after the 4♣ on the turn, he was down to just three outs. However, Jaka's heads-up tournament would not come to an end just yet, as the Q♠ rolled off on the river, to give Jaka top two pair, and the double-up.

Despite taking the lead moments ago, Cary Katz was one again trailing Artur Martirosian

In a match reminiscent of Rocky IV's Apollo Creed vs Ivan Drago, the Russian delivered a killer blow to Katz's bracelet pursuit.

In a three-bet pot to the 2♠10♦4♠ flop, Katz bet 67,000 from the big blind and called off the 300,000 more he had behind when Martirosian jammed.

Cary Katz: K♠K♦ All in
Artur Martirosian: 8♠7♠

The turn was the 5♥ keeping Katz ahead, but the 10♠ river completed Martirosian's flush draw to book his place in the Quarter Finals.

Martirosian will face Patrick Kennedy in the next round.
