Action folded to Kevin Roche on the button, and he raised all in for 1,480,000. After it folded to the big blind Jonas Wexler, he debated his decision for over a minute, before tossing in a chip to call.
Kevin Roche: K?10?
Jonas Wexler: A?8?
Roche had two live cards against the ace high of Wexler, and before the flop he said, "King is always coming right?". When the flop came K?2?8? he was proven right and jumped into the lead. The 6? on the turn, and 5? on the river changed nothing, and Roche scooped the pot and got the double up.

Christopher Csik raised to 160,000 from under the gun, and William Chisholm three-bet all in for 880,000. It folded back to Csik, who sat in the tank for over two minutes, before finding the call.
William Chisholm: 9?9?
Christopher Csik: 9?8?
Chisholm was a great position to double up, with Csik having no immediate outs to beat the pocket nines. But after the 8?K?5? flop, Csik could now hit an eight. But after the 5? on the turn and K? on the river, the pocket nines of Chisholm remained the best hand, and he secured the double up.
