Igor Popyk raised to 300,000 from the hijack and Methavee Taveekitvatee three-bet to 750,000 out of the small blind. Popyk called and it was heads-up action to the flop of 8♥7♠8♦.
Taveekitvatee continued for 700,000 and Popyk called to see the 9♦ turn.
Taveekitvatee bet again, this time 2 million, but she couldn't shake Popyk, who called to see the 3♠ river.

Dustin Murphy raised to 250,000 from the button and then called when Greg Ostrander three-bet to 820,000 from the big blind, which brought about an all-diamond flop of 10♦3♦K♦.
Ostrander moved all in for 1.33 million and Murphy didn't take too long to call.
Greg Ostrander: A♥A♣
Dustin Murphy: K♥J♣
Murphy had flopped top pair but was behind the pocket rockets of Ostrander, who was primed to double.
The 2♦ turn put four diamonds on the board, but neither player held one in their hand. However, it did mean a fifth diamond on the river would result in a chop, which is what Murphy called for.
Indeed, the 7♦ spiked on the river, and Ostrander threw his hands up, knowing he was just denied a double.
"Had to use the one time on a chop," Murphy said with a smile.
Gabriel Karlsson raised to 705,000 from under the gun. Walter Treccarichi in the hijack moved all-in and Karlsson called with the 105,000 he had behind.

Methavee Taveekitvatee min-raised to 240,000 under the gun and cleared the field around to David Miscikowski, who three-bet to 925,000 from the big blind.
