After a limp from the hijack. Julian Velador raised to 275,000 from the cutoff and Daisuke Ogita called from the button. Abhishek Goindi committed his last 100,000 from the small blind and the limper folded, and they headed to the flop.
Velador bet 300,000 on the 10♦10♥8♣ flop. Ogita folded and the cards were revealed.
There was a limp before Alemu Makonen raised 270,000 in the cutoff. Rajendara Dhar made the call from the small blind and the limper mucked his hand.
The dealer spread a flop of Q♥5♦2♣ and Dhar bet the maximum of 750,000. Makonen called.
Before the 7♥ turn hit the felt, Dhar already shoved a stack across the line, putting Makonen to test for all of his chips. Makonen had about 700,000 remaining and made the call.
Alemu Makonen: A♥A♦10♥8♠
Rajendara Dhar: A♠Q♠8♥5♥
Makonen had aces and the nut flush draw but couldn't pull ahead of Dhar's two pair as the 3♦ landed on the river.
The remaining 51 players are on a 60-minute dinner break and will return at 6:45 p.m. local time. Play will resume with blinds at 40,000/80,000 with an 80,000 big blind ante.
