Three ways to the turn on a board of 2♦3♠7♣5♠, Josh Reichard checked first from the small blind and Benjamin Williams bet 25,000 out of the big blind. Daniyal Gheba folded the button, but Reichard check-raised to 128,000. Williams elected to call.
A 5♥ arrived on the river and both players opted to check. Reichard revealed a busted flush draw with 10♠9♠, and lost the pot to Williams, who had Q♠7♠ for a pair of sevens with a higher flush draw.

Josh Reichard raised from early position to 25,000, and Joseph Spanne three-bet to 126,000 from the button, leaving one thousand behind. Reichard immediately four-bet to put Spanne all in.
Spanne was taking his time, as a pay jump was imminent, and Reichard called the clock.
After the countdown, Spanne put in his last 1,000 chip.
Joseph Spanne: A♠Q♦ 
Josh Reichard: K♥Q♣
The board ran out with 10♣J♦6♠5♦3♣, and Spanned managed to stay alive with his ace high.

The flop came Q♠J♣4♥ and Zinno check-called Nikitin's continuation bet of 22,000.
Both players checked the 3♠ turn but on the 5♥ river, Zinno resumed the action with a 65,000 bet. Nikitin gave him a stare down before making the call.
Zinno showed 10♥9♦ for a busted straight draw prompting Nikitin to turn over 6♠6♣ to win the pot.

On the J♣ turn, Nikitin checked for a second time and Saliba placed out a double barrel of 80,000. Again, Nikitin just called.
After Nikitin checked the J♥ river, Saliba gave it some thought before reluctantly checking behind.

Martin Kabrhel limped from the cutoff before Tyler Cornell raised to 130,000 on the button. Kabrhel called.
Both players checked the 3♠10♥8♥ to bring the 8♣ on the turn.
Kabrhel looked at the clock, then said, "Payout jump. I'm all-in."
Cornell called to put himself at risk for less.
Tyler Cornell: A♦8♦
Martin Kabrhel: 3♣3♥
Cornell hit trip eights on the turn, but it was in trouble as Kabrhel held a full house.
The river flipped the script when the A♠ came to upgrade Cornell to a higher full house.
"Diamonds are a good hand because diamonds are forever," Kabrhel opined as the pot was pushed to Cornell.

Zexiang Sun: K♥K♦
The board ran out with 7♠Q♠10♣4♣2♠, and Sun's kings won the pot.

A pot of around 1,500,000 just occurred preflop between Julien Sitbon on the button and Kevin Eyster in the big blind. Sitbon was the shorter stack and the player at risk.
Julien Sitbon: A♣A♦
Kevin Eyster: A♠K♠
It was a brutal cooler that Sitbon was on the right end of with pocket aces.
There was no sweat for Sitbon on the 8♣6♥9♥3♥8♦ runout, and he earned the huge double-up, while Eyster was left with just a few big blinds.
