In a blind-on-blind pot, Edward Pak and Boris Angelov had gathered around 1,600,000 chips before the A?8?2? flop was dealt. Pak then bet 700,000 chips from the small blind and Angelov called in the big blind.
The A? turn was checked by both players before Pak checked again on the 4? river. Angelov slid enough chips in to put Pak all in. Pak thought for some time before counting his chips and mucking his cards.
Brian Rast raised to 550,000 from middle position with the 7?7? and was called by Yake Wu with 10?9? and Kristen Foxen with K?Q? from the cutoff and button.
Rast continued for 500,000 on the Q?4?4? flop, and Foxen was the only caller.
On the 9? turn, Rast checked and Foxen fired out 1,100,000. This bet folded out the Poker Hall of Famer, and Foxen took in the pot.
Brian Rast opened to 550,000 from early position with the A?8? before Tomas Szwarcberg three-bet to 1,400,000 with the A?Q? on Rast's direct left. The latter decided to fold and Szwarcberg took in a nice pickup.
On the next deal, Yake Wu opened to 525,000 from middle position and was called by Andres Gonzalez from the big blind. The 7?6?5? flop checked through to the 5? turn. Gonzalez bet 450,000 and was called. The Q? completed the board and Gonzalez check-folded to a bet of 1,350,000.
Aliaksandr Shylko raised to 500,000 under the gun and Kyosuke Nagami called in the big blind.
Shylko bet 500,000 on the Q?10?9? flop and Nagami called. Both players then checked the 5? turn.
The Q? fell on the river and Nagami led out for 750,000. Shylko called and Nagami showed 10?9? for two pair. Shylko, though, had A?10? for a higher kicker to win the pot.
Adrian Lopez opened to 525,000 from middle position and called a three-bet to 1,475,000 from Gerardo Hernandez in late position.
Lopez checked following the J?6?7? flop. Hernandez continued for 1,250,000 and received a call from his opponent.
Action checked through the 3? turn to the 3? river at which point Lopez checked once more. Hernandez, unwilling to go to a cheap showdown, bet big, making it 4,400,000. After some thought, Lopez called with the 8?8? but could only watch as Hernandez scooped the pot holding A?A?.
In a heads-up pot on a board of 8?9?J?, Gabriel Moura checked and Jason Sagle bet 600,000. Moura called. Moura checked again on the A? turn and Sagle checked back.
The A? river completed the board and Moura slid out a bet of 1,850,000 to send Sagle deep into the tank. After some groaning, Sagle folded.
Moura told him after the hand that he had AxJx for aces full of jacks.
Orson Young raised to 550,000 under the gun and Garrett Bok called in the big blind.
The flop came Q?10?5? and Young continued for 400,000. Bok then raised to 1,750,000 and Young gave up his hand.
Two hands later, Bok opened to 575,000 on the button before Young three-bet to 1,900,000 in the small blind. Bok came back with a four-bet to 4,000,000 and Young again surrendered the pot to Bok.
Guillermo Sanchez Otero raised to 500,000 and Aloisio Dourado called out of the big blind with Randy Gattesco in the under-the-gun position having just 525,000 behind.
The A?Q?3? flop saw Dourado check-call for 450,000 before he then led the 5? turn for 1,100,000, Sanchez Otero called. Both checked the 2? on the river and Dourado showed the Q?J? for a pair of queens, which Sanchez Otero had beat holding the A?5? for two pair.
One hand later, Jessie Bryant raised to 700,000 and Rodrigo Garrido Portaleoni called in the hijack.
"Let me think about this," Gattesco said moments before he tossed in the last 25,000 chip.
On the 7?7?2? flop, Bryant pushed all-in and Garrido Portaleoni folded.
Randy Gattesco: J?10?
Jessie Bryant: J?J?
"Oh man, I am in trouble," Gattesco had said when he saw Bryant table the pocket jacks. The 10? turn gave some hope but the Q? river ended Gattesco's run on the pay jump in 54th place for $160,000.
Charles Russell raised to 525,000 under the gun and was three-bet by Diogo Coelho in early position. The action folded back to Russell, who called the bet of 1,375,000 chips.
He then checked on the 5?3?J? flop, after which Coelho bet 875,000. Russell made it 2,500,000 to go. Coelho called and did so too when Russell put in 3,000,000 chips on the 5? turn.
The 8? river completed the board and Russell put Coelho all in for exactly 5,000,000 chips. Coelho spent some minutes in the tank before tossing in a single chip for a call.
Russell showed A?J? for jacks and fives, but Coelho had the better hand with K?K? for kings and fives to receive a massive double-up.
