Jason Koon opened in early position and Orpen Kisacikoglu defended in the big blind.
Kisacikoglu checked on the flop of 8?K?9? and Koon checked back. Kisacikoglu then bet 200,000 on the 2? turn and Koon called.
Kisacikoglu checked on the A? river and Koon put out a stack of red 100,000-chips to put him all in. Kisacikoglu quickly called with a stack of 620,000.
Koon showed A?J? for a pair of aces, but it was no good against the two pair of his opponent with 9?8?.

The board read 7?9?A?3? with around 650,000 in the middle in the first hand. Seth Gottlieb bet 425,000 from the big blind for Erik Seidel to make the call from the button. The 7? completed the board and Gottlieb barreled a bet of 975,000 over the line. Seidel considered it and then made the call. Gottlieb revealed the 6?5? for the bluff for Seidel to show his A?4? for two pair and the pot.
On the next hand, Seidel raised to 225,000 from the cutoff and Gottlieb was the only one to make the call from the small blind. They both checked through the 4?10?8? flop to the 5? on the turn. Gottlieb lead with a bet of 200,000 for Seidel to raise it up to 1,000,0000. Gottlieb used a time bank card before opting to fold.

In a heads-up pot, Alex Foxen bet on the turn with the board reading A?9?10?5? and Jonathan Jaffe called to his immediate left.
Foxen then bet 450,000 on the 9? river and Jaffe took some time before raising all in. Foxen snap-called with a remaining stack of around 2,500,000.
Jaffe showed A?K? for a pair of aces, but it was no good as Foxen rolled over 10?9? for a full house.

Sorel Mizzi shoved from under the gun for 590,000 in total for the action to fold to Koichi Chiba in the small blind. He decided to shove too, but for more for Jason Koon to fold his big blind.
Sorel Mizzi: A?2?
Koichi Chiba: 10?10?
The flop came 4?10?4? for Chiba to hit a full house immediately.
The turn was the A? to give Mizzi a glimmer of hope but the 10? dashed that instantly as Chiba improved to quad tens to bust Mizzi in 15th place.

Ivan Luca raised to 360,000 from the hijack, keeping 5,000 behind and Mike Watson called from the cutoff. Erik Seidel three-bet to 900,000 from the button for the blinds to quickly fold. Luca took his time, looked over to the other table, and then flicked in his last chip for the call while Watson opted to get out of their way.
Ivan Luca: K?Q?
Erik Seidel: A?Q?
The flop came 5?8?K? for Luca to hit top pair.
The turn was the Q? for Luca to hit two pair and Seidel one. Luca just needed to avoid an ace to stay alive and did just that when the 9? completed the board.
