: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Tom Orpaz raised to 20,000 in the cutoff and Ren Lin called from the big blind. The flop came 
and Lin check-called a bet of 20,000 from Orpaz.
The turn brought the 
and Orpaz continued firing with a bet of 75,000 this time. Lin still called and the 
completed the board. Lin nearly checked again but then thought for a few seconds before actually checking. Orpaz quickly made a bet of 150,000 and Lin looked him up.
Orpaz announced jack-high as he tabled 
for a missed combo draw while Lin turned over 
to claim the pot.
At the next table over, Rui Neves Ferreira was all in for 28,000 in the small blind and Felipe Ketzer called in the big blind. Ferreira couldn't connect with the board and Ketzer's king-high was good enough to win the pot.

Ren Lin had a raise to 52,000 out in front and Tom Orpaz then reraised to 108,000. What followed was the shove by Lin and Orpaz was stunned, even more so after he was shown the 
by Lin. "I missclicked," Orpaz said after all was done and dusted.
Moments later, there was action on both tables at the same time.
Chris Brewer raised to 20,000 in the hijack and Orpen Kisacikoglu three-bet to 50,000 on the button for Brewer to call. The 
flop was checked by Brewer, who then faced a bet worth 60,000 by Kisacikoglu. A few seconds later, Brewer jammed and Kisacikoglu asked for the exact amount.
That happened to be 384,000, which narrowly covered his stack, prompting a tank-fold.
Rui Neves Ferreira had raised to 20,000 in the cutoff on the other table and called a small three-bet to 43,000 by Felipe Ketzer. The 
flop was check-called by Neves Ferreira for 12,000 and the same action repeated on the 
turn for 13,000.
Neves Ferreira also checked the on the river and Ketzer used one time bank while eyeballing the stack of his opponent. He made it 125,000 to go after, which represented a large portion of Neves Ferreira's stack. The Portuguese called and gasped as he was shown the 
for aces full by Ketzer.

Daniel Dvoress opened to 20,000 from under the gun and Kayhan Mokri three-bet to 60,000 on his left. Tauan Naves shoved all in for 157,000 on the button and Felipe Ketzer re-shoved all in as the big stack from the big blind. Dvoress quickly folded but Mokri had a tougher decision. After using one of his time banks, he reluctantly folded as well.
Tauan Naves: 
Felipe Ketzer: 
"Jacks," Mokri mumbled under his breath. The board ran out 
and Ketzer made a full house on the turn to send Naves packing.

Sam Grafton: 
Chris Brewer: 
Orpaz shook his head and asked to get his cards back upon seeing the two small pocket pairs exposed.

Felipe Ketzer:
"Same hand against Neymar," Ketzer exclaimed while Astedt pointed to his cards and promised one five would come. However, the

Two hands in a row, Tom Orpaz raised to 20,000. Ren Lin three-bet to 80,000 in the first hand and Orpaz let go after some table chatter, in which he asked whether or not Lin wanted the chips he had invested or a call.
In the next hand, no resistance followed and Orpaz instantly recovered the previous losses.
