Myles Barker opened to 1,300 from early position and received a call from Dominik Nitsche in the cutoff.
Barker continued for 1,800 on the 5♥4♣A♥ flop and was called by Nitchse.
The 9♣ turn saw Barker slow down, checking to Nitsche, who fired off 8,000. Barker responded with a raise to 18,000 and was met by an instant fold from Nitsche as he took a hit to his stack.
Jonathan Tackett raised to 1,200 from early position, Stephen Graner three-bet to 3,600 in middle position and the small blind cold called.
The action checked to Graner, who bet out 4,000 on the 3♠A♦4♦ flop. The small blind and Tackett made a quick fold.
Graner claimed this pot to propel him to nearly three starting stacks, while Tacket was left short.
Action folded around to the blinds, where the player in the small blind raised to 1,500 and Andrew Lichtenberger called in the big blind.
Lichtenberger called an 800 bet from his opponent on the A♠A♣J♣ flop and a 3,500 bet from his opponent on the Q♣ turn.
The small blind checked on the 6♦ river, prompting a 9,000 bet from Lichtenberger. His opponent folded after a bit of thought and Lichtenberger collected the pot without showing.
After pulling off a bluff with jack-high against Arthur Morris on the PokerGO livestream, Phil Hellmuth tangled with the same player in one of the biggest Day 1c feature table pots.
The hand began with Damien Gayer raising from an early position to 1,200 with A♠3♠, and then Morris called with 8♦8♣. Hellmuth, in position against those two players, opted for a call with J♠J♥, as did James Minghini, holding A♥3♥ on the button.
Michael Cervantes, in the big blind with K♣6♣, also came along for the ride to see a flop of 6♦10♣4♠, not much of an improvement for any of the five players. Action checked to Hellmuth, and he bet 4,000 with an over pair, receiving a call only from Morris, who was drawing to a two-outer that would come on the 8♠ turn.
Morris would check his set, and Hellmuth would bet 8,000 this time before being check-raised to 22,000. The "Poker Brat" begrudgingly called.
When the K♥ appeared on the turn, it gave Hellmuth an over card to his pair, but he could not find a fold facing a 35,000-chip bet and he lost approximately half his stack in the pot. Hellmuth was still steaming about the turn card five minutes after the hand concluded.
With action on the river, the board read 4♣9♣K♣9♥A♠. Tomas Teran was facing a bet of 4,000. After waiting for a few moments, Teran tossed in the raise to 15,000.
His opponent checked his cards a few times before he folded and Teran took it down.
The action was caught as the pot stood at approximately 6,000 with two players looking at a full board of 5♣Q♣8♣K♣J♣.
The big blind checked and Isaac Haxton, in the cutoff, bet a sizeable wager of 9,600, sending the big blind into the tank.
The big blind verbalised their thought process as they tanked, implying they knew he was either way ahead or way behind, eventually deciding to fold. The big blind mucked the 6♣ face up, conceding the pot to Haxton.
Haxton rechecked his cards and then tabled the 10♣, showing the big blind that they were beaten.
The board showed 5♥7♥2♣Q♣9♥. A player in the hijack had put out a bet of 3,500 into a pot of roughly 5,000. Mike Watson mulled of his decision for a while before reluctantly tossing in the call. His opponent showed Kx4x for king-high. Watson took down the pot with Q♦10♣ for a pair of queens.
With three players seeing a board of A♣J♦J♥ Jamie Sanfilippo checked from the small blind and Nikolay Fal bet 900 from under the gun. Claudio Elizalde folded in the cutoff while Sanfilippo made the call.
Sanfilippo led out with a bet of 1,200 on the 4♦ turn and Fal made the call.
On the 7♣ river Sanfilippo bet another 1,200 that was called by Fal.
Sanfilippo could only show K♥10♦ for a missed gutshot turned into a bluff while Fal had 9♣9♠ for two pair to take the pot.
In a single-raised pot with around 3,000 chips in the middle, the board read 10♦5♦10♥ when Pavle Pecelj checked, Jay Gilbert bet 1,200, Pecelj then check-raised to 3,400, and Gilbert called.
The A♠ turn and K♥ river were both checked down where Peclj showed Q♥9♥ for just queen-high, and Gilbert flipped A♦8♦ for ace-high which earned him the pot.
Joao Simao and Harrison Ashdown were heads-up on a board of 8♠8♣8♦9♣ with several thousand already in the middle. Simao checked from under the gun and Ashdown bet 3,000. Simao called.
The Q♠ completed the board and Simao led out for 9,000. Ashdown made it 20,000 to go and Simao laid his hand down after tanking for a bit.
"Want me to show?" Ashdown asked. He then revealed the 5♥ and collected the pot.
