On a heads-up turn of 6♠9♦7♣7♥, Trung Pham led out for 180,000 but was then raised to 650,000 by fellow big stack Andrew Tran.
After thinking it over, Pham decided to make the call and the two continued to the river K♠. Pham checked once more and Tran decided to check back.
Pham then confidently tabled 8♥9♥ for nines and sevens and Tran raised his eyebrows and held a brief hand funeral before he mucked his hand. Pham was then shipped the huge pot to jump him into the chip lead.

Short-stacked Jason Gooch open-ripped for his last 200,000 and the action folded to Maxx Holland in the big blind who had to think about it.
"Alright, I hope we're flipping!" Holland said as he made the call to put Gooch at risk.
"We're not," Gooch replied as he flipped over K♦K♣ against the 2♦2♣ of Holland.
"I folded king-deuce," Tablemate Jake Daniels mentioned, but the deck didn't seem to hear him as it came 8♠Q♦5♠8♥2♥ to give Holland the deuce on the river to send Gooch home in gross fashion.
'Well, good game guys, I guess I'll just save my golf and fishing stories for another time!"

Viet Vo opened to 55,000 preflop and was three-bet to 155,000 by Neil Vora, which he called to see a flop of Q♥7♥8♥.
Vo checked, Vora bet 120,000, Vo check-raised to 370,000 and Vora just called. The two players then proceeded to get it all in on the K♥ turn and the cards were tabled , with Vo at risk.
Viet Vo: J♥J♦
Neil Vora: K♦K♣
Vo had the best of it with his jack-high flush, but Vora had made top set on the turn to give him a lot of equity. Sure enough, the 7♦ spiked on the river to improve him to a full house and Vo was sent to the payout desk in dramatic fashion.

After some back-and-forth betting preflop, Jake Daniels managed to get it all in against John Ross, who covered.
Ross tabled A♦10♦ but Daniels had him in bad shape with A♣A♠. The flop came out AxKx10x to give Daniels top set and the runout changed nothing to award him the double.

After Trung Pham opened from the cutoff for 55,000 and Eloy Rios called, Kris Burchfield moved all in. Pham shoved over the top for a lot more and Rios quickly got out of the way folding pocket tens face up and the two live hands were tabled.
Kris Burchfield: A♥K♣
Trung Pham: A♦J♣
"Don't do it to me, Trung," Burchfield laughed as the dealer spread the flop of 3♦6♦7♣.
"No diamond! NO DIAMOND!" Burchfield stood up as the turn came the 2♦ to give Pham a flush draw.
Sure enough, the K♦ fell on the river to send him out in gross fashion.

On a heads-up turn of 9♦9♠3♠9♥, Vladyslav Shovkovyi led for 45,000 and was called by Kyle Arora.
The river hit the 10♦ and Shovkovyi checked over to Arora, who then set out a stack of 400,000 to cover him.
Shovkovyi then went into the tank for over two minutes before he decided to make the call. He then received the good news when Arora tapped the table and told him he was good as he showed K♣J♣ for just king-high.
Shovkovyi then flipped over A♠Q♣ for a superior ace-high to take down the pot for a double.
