The action folded around to Andrei Kotelnikov in the small blind who moved all in for his last 1,800,000 chips. Chinwei Lim was in the big blind and did not hesitate before making the call.
Andrei Kotelnikov: J♦5♦
Chinwei Lim: K♠Q♥
The board ran out Q♠6♥4♠6♦6♠ and Lim connected with a full house to send Kotelnikov to the payout desk.
Jonathan Jaffe opened 800,000 in the cutoff and Alisson Piekazewicz defended the big blind.
Both players checked to the 9♣8♣8♥7♣ turn, where Piekazewicz led for for 600,000. Jaffe stuck around with a call.
The Q♠ landed on the river and Piekazewicz cut out a bet of 900,000 and dropped it across the line. Jaffe took a few moments and pitched his cards into the muck.
Christian Rudolph raised to 800,000 in the hijack and Ren Lin three-bet to 2,000,000 on the button. Rudolph then moved all in for 8,500,000 and Lin instantly put in his "No Gamble, No Future" sticker and the chips to call.
Christian Rudolph: A♦K♣
Ren Lin: J♠J♣
The two opponents were off to the races as Rudolph got up to lean on the back of his seat and await the flop. The dealer exposed Q♠J♦5♣ and Lin spiked a set, while Rudolph was left hoping to complete a straight draw.
The 8♣ turn was no help to Rudolph, while the river was the 9♥ and Rudolph went over to exchange a fist bump with Lin before heading for the exit.
Derric Haynie bet 900,000 from the button on a flop of K♥7♥5♠ and Namhyung Kim called in the big blind. Tom-Aksel Bedell then raised to 3,200,000 in middle position and only Haynie called.
The turn was the 7♣ and Bedell fired out 4,600,000. Haynie quickly folded this time and Bedell took the pot.
Vadzim Lipauka jammed for his last 1,375,000 in the small blind and Pablo Melogno made the call.
Vadzim Lipauka: Q♣4♦
Pablo Melogno: 7♣5♥
Both players flopped a pair on the Q♥7♦2♣ flop, while Lipauka had the lead with a pair of queens. The board completed with the A♥ on the turn and the A♠ on the river, sending the double toward Lipauka.
Vladimir Minko opened to 600,000 in middle position and Troy Quenneville three-bet to 1,325,000 on his left. The action folded back to Minko who made it 3,500,000 to go. Quenneville pushed all but 300,000 of his stack into the middle and Minko announced all in.
"Ahh, f***!" Quenneville blurted as he looked at the clock, noticing there was no pay jump in the near future. He called off his stack of 12,700,000 and the cards were tabled.
Troy Quenneville: A♥K♥
Vladimir Minko: A♠K♣
"What are you so mad at?" Minko questioned knowing that in all likelihood the hand would be a chop.
"He hasn't had to play this kind of crap all day," Andrew Chen joked.
The board ran out 6♠5♦2♠7♦6♥ and the two players inevitably chopped the pot.
"No fun if there's no sweat," Minko said disappointed.
"Do you wanna run it again?" Quenneville rhetorically asked.
Pablo Melogno opened 650,000 under the gun and Nick Petrangelo called next to act.
Both players checked to the 9♦6♥3♣4♣ turn, where Melogno led for 850,000 and Petrangelo called.
The 4♥ completed the board on the river and Melogno fired again, this time for 2,375,000. Petrangelo stared at him for about five seconds and made the call.
Melogno tabled 8♠7♠ for a missed straight draw and Petrangelo tabled A♦Q♠ to drag the pot.
Vladimir Minko raised to 600,000 in early position and Troy Quenneville three-bet to 1,600,000 in middle position. Pablo Ruiz then called for 1,450,000 and Minko got out of the way.
"I have no decision, right?" Quenneville confirmed before they turned over their cards.
Pablo Ruiz: K♦6♦
Troy Quenneville: A♠Q♦
Quenneville hit top pair on the Q♥5♣9♦ flop to take a big lead in the pot, but the board ran out A♦7♦ to give Ruiz a running flush as he earned a fortunate double up.
