Carlos Chang bet 17,000 from the small blind on a flop of 8♣6♦10♦ before the big blind raised to 85,000. Pascal Pflock called in early position, as did Chang.
All three players checked the K♦ turn before Chang bet 130,000 on the 9♠ river. The big blind tanked for a minute before folding, but Pflock moved all in for 140,000 and Chang called.
Pflock showed A♦8♦ for the nut flush and Chang mucked 7♥5♦. The big blind then admitted he had nine-seven for a flopped straight.
Tom Dwan opened to 30,000 from under the gun and got a call from the player in the next seat before Taiwan's Ta-Wei Tou made it 195,000 from the hijack. Rodrigo Garrido Portaleoni was in the cutoff and shoved for around 250,000, which got Dwan and the caller to fold, but Tou made the call.
Rodrigo Garrido Portaleoni: A♠K♦
Ta-Wei Tou: A♥Q♦
Tou needed a lot of help but he never found it as the runout of 4♥3♦7♥8♣2♦ kept Portaleoni's Big Slick in the lead throughout the hand.
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♠.
Ryan Hoenig raised to 25,000 in the hijack and the player in the big blind called. On the 4♣3♦6♣ flop, Hoenig continued for 22,000 and the big blind check-raised to 65,000.
Hoenig then quickly jammed all in to put the big blind's stack of 230,000 at risk. The big blind folded just as quick, however, and surrendered the pot to the big stack.
A player in middle position was all in for around 350,000 as Marcelo Tadeu Aziz Junior put him at risk from the big blind.
All-In Player: A♣K♥
Marcelo Tadeu Aziz Junior: Q♥Q♣
The at-risk player took the lead on the A♠7♣8♣ flop with top pair, while the 2♥ turn left him one card away from a double up. The river, though, was the Q♠ and Aziz Junior spiked a two-outer for a set to win the pot and send his opponent to the rail.
"I can be all in and have you dead on the turn, and I still wouldn't celebrate until the river," tablemate Steven Warburton told Aziz Junior after the hand.
Daniel Chan opened to 24,000 from middle position and Justin Datloff three-bet to 72,000 on the button. Action folded back to Chan, who opted to four-bet to 160,000. Datloff responded by moving all in and, with little hesitation, Chan called off his stack of 535,000.
Daniel Chan: K♠K♦
Justin Datloff: A♠J♣
The cowboys were best as Chan was looking to hold against Datloff's single overcard. The board ran out Q♥5♦6♥Q♦2♣ to keep the kings ahead, giving Chan the double while sending Datloff tumbling down the counts.
