A player in first position opened to 3,500 which saw a player in early position three-bet to 11,000. After some confusion about what the intent of his sizing was meant to be, action folded around to Terry Williams in the small blind who moved all in for 40,500 which saw only the early position player call.
Terry Williams: A♥A♠
Opponent: K♣K♦
The board ran out J♠8♥6♦7♥2♥ and the aces held up for Williams to double up.
Action picked up in a preflop hand with a player all in against Gianluca Cabitza, who had his opponent covered.
The cards were then tabled.
All-In Player: 10♣10♥
Gianluca Cabitza: K♥K♣
The dealer fanned 5♦8♥3♥ on the flop, keeping Cabitza’s bigger pocket pair in the lead. The 6♥ on the turn, followed by 8♠ on the river gave Cabitza the win and sent his opponent to the rail.
On a board of 10♥7♥4♦K♥3♦, there were around 20,000 chips in the pot when Patrick Liang fired 28,000 into the middle. His opponent from the big blind had been in the tank for around six minutes according to the table before the clock was eventually called. Once the floor arrived, the 30-second countdown began and as it hit zero, there was no action from the big blind so his hand was declared dead.
"That was the toughest decision of my life," said the big blind before he folded.
Action was picked up on the river with 43,000 in the pot with the board showing Q♣3♣3♦10♣2♦.
The small blind checked to Nellie Park in middle position, who bet all in for 29,000. The small blind made the call to put Park at risk.
Park tabled 9♣8♣ for a turned flush, as her opponent showed AxQx before tossing their cards into the muck, giving Park the double up.
A player in early position moved all in for around 30,000 and Thong Ho put him at risk in middle position.
All-In Player: 5♦5♠
Thong Ho: K♠Q♠
Ho took the lead on the Q♣4♥4♦ flop with two pair, while his opponent couldn't catch up on the 2♥ turn or 3♣ river as he was sent to the rail.
Three players saw a flop of 6♠2♣5♠ where the big blind bet 18,000. Another player in early position called, but Jared Koppel raised to 60,000 on the button. Only the big blind called.
The turn was the 6♥ and Koppel moved all in for 171,000. The big blind snap-called with Q♠Q♣, but Koppel had 4♦3♦ for a flopped straight.
His opponent began pleading for a six with more than 500,000 in the middle, but he missed the 8♦ river as Koppel held on to secure the massive double up.
Action picked up on a board showing 7♠Q♦8♣5♦5♣ and an out-of-position player just checked, putting action on Daniel Schill.
The pot was bloated with a little more than 45,000 in the middle, and high drama ensued when Schill moved all in, a move that covered his opponent.
Schill’s opponent immediately appeared uneasy, leaning back in his chair and leaning off to his side, resting his head in his arms while studying the board.
The player then repositioned himself in his chair to sit up. He leaned forward, looked at the board and across the table at Schill, who didn’t move.
Schill’s opponent then cut out his chip stack, stared at his chips for few more moments before pushing his cards forward and surrendering the hand to Schill.
