On the river of a K♦3♣2♣4♥3♦ board, Joey Weissman bet 5,500. He then faced a raise to 11,000 and reluctantly called to get shown the A♠5♥ for the wheel.
Action was picked up on the turn, with roughly 130,000 in the pot and the board showing 3♦8♠5♠5♣.
Chat Clussman bet all in for 55,000 and Wenri Jin made the call from the cutoff to put Clussman at risk.
Chat Clussman: K♥K♦
Wenri Jin: A♦8♥
Clussman was ahead with his pocket kings, and after the Q♠ on the river, his pocket kings were still the best, and he secured the double-up.
Heads-up on a 9♥7♠3♦ flop, Phil Galfond was in middle position and checked to Hao Zhou, who bet 5,000 bet from the cutoff. Galfond then check-raised to 13,000 and Zhou called.
Zhou called a 15,000 barrel from Galfond on the 6♠ turn, and then Galfond checked on the 7♥ river. Zhou took the initiative with a bet of 30,000, and Galfond called after tanking for a couple of minutes.
Zhou turned over K♠K♥, which got a "Nice hand" from Galfond as he mucked.

Niveau: 10
Blinds: 1,000/2,000
Ante: 2,000
Picking up the action partway through the hand, Lara Eisenberg in middle position was involved in a hand with Frank Bongiorno in late position, a player in the cutoff and the big blind.
With the board reading Q♣3♥10♠ action checked to Bongiorno, who bet 5,500. That got a fold from the cutoff and big blind but Eisenberg responded by raising to 15,000. After some thought, Bongiorno moved all in with Eisenberg snapping off with the covering stack.
Frank Bongiorno: A♥A♠
Lara Eisenberg: 3♣3♦
Eisenberg had flopped big to leave Bongiorno and his pocket rockets in dire straits. Nothing changed on either the 2♥ turn or K♣ river to bring Bongiorno's tournament to an end while handing a big pot to Eisenberg.
