Ren Lin raised to 25,000 and the big blind defended. On a flop of K♥9♠5♣, the big blind checked and subsequently called a bet worth 15,000 by Lin. The duo headed to the Q♦ turn on which the same check-call repeated for another 50,000 before the 10♥ river slowed down both players and Lin checked behind.
The big blind revealed the K♠7♦ for top pair but Lin had that crushed with the K♦K♣, joking about the bad runout.
On a completed board of Q♠8♠8♣Q♦Q♣, Josh Reichard in the small blind checked and Jesse Lonis bet 190,000 on the button. Reichard then check-raised to 800,000 and Lonis gave it brief consideration before he called.
Reichard tabled the A♠K♣ briefly as he was playing the board and Lonis won the massive pot with the K♦K♠ for queens full of kings.
Chris Vitch raised to 24,000 under the gun before a player in middle position three-bet to 68,000. Alejandro Lococo then four-bet to 160,000 on the button.
Action folded back to Vitch and he five-bet to 395,000. The middle-position player got out of the way, but Lococo moved all in and Vitch snap-called for 1,187,000.
Chris Vitch: A♥A♣
Alejandro Lococo: K♠K♦
It was the ultimate cooler with nearly 2,500,000 at stake. Both players watched the board run out J♣5♥2♥8♦4♣ as Vitch's aces held up to earn him a massive double up.
On a completed board of J♦7♦4♠4♦5♠, Kevin Ordet in the big blind moved forward a bet of 500,000. That covered his sole remaining opponent Dimitrii Kamalov, who went deep into the tank.
Eventually, Kamalov called all-in and Ordet tabled the 8♥5♥ for a flopped gutshot that had only hit the five on the river. Yet, it was enough as Kamalov tried to slide his cards very carefully into the muck. The dealer looked at him almost apologizing as he turned over the A♥Q♦ according to the all-in showdown rule.
"That was a thin value bet," someone at the table joked while several players were in disbelief.
Another player busted shortly after and the table was then filled with Lucas Greenwood and Brian Rast. The latter called a raise to 25,000 by John Kim from under the gun with Ordet in the cutoff and Adam Rude in the big blind coming along as well.
The Q♦4♥3♥ flop was checked to Rast and he bet 40,000, Ordet and Rude called.
On the 6♠ turn, Rude checked again and Rast now bet 160,000 yet both opponents called once more. They then checked the 4♣ on the river and Rude showed J♥10♥ for a missed flush draw, Ordet had the 5♥5♦ and Rast won the pot with the K♠Q♠.
