In a pot of close to 90,000 on a board showing A?J?5?J?, a player in the small blind checked to Denis Pisarev in early position who checked back.

The pot already contained more than 350,000 chips with a board 6?5?A?7?8? when Carlos Leiva's opponent checked to him. Leiva decided to bet 225,000 and his opponent went deep into the tank before eventually folding.
Felipe Ketzer had raised with the J?J? and Clement Richez called with the K?Q? on the button before Daniel Weinman three-bet out of the blinds with the A?K?. Both came along to a three-way flop of 7?5?4? on which it checked to Ketzer, who bet110,000.
Richez then pushed all-in for 430,000 and Weinman asked for a count on the shove as well as the stack of Ketzer. Weinman reluctantly folded and Ketzer went into the tank, talking through possible combinations.
"I have no heart," Ketzer mentioned before verifying the amount to call once more before he showed the heart to make the call.
The 9? turn instantly locked up the double for Richez, which made the 2? river a formality.
