Alan Helfenstein raised to 300,000 under the gun.
After Jorg Weber made the call on the button, Gaspar Fernandez shoved all in with about 1,300,000 chips.
Helfenstein called, and Weber folded.
Gaspar Fernandez: A♠K♠
Alan Helfenstein: K♣Q♥
Big Slick came up short in a runout of Q♦2♦J♣Q♠3♥ that gave Helfenstein trip queens on the turn.
Dragos Anton in early position opened to 400,000. Daniel Blum in the hijack three-bet, then Benoit Fiasson in the big blind moved all-in for 155,000. Anton four-bet all-in for 4,100,000 and Blum called.
Benoit Fiasson: 10♥6♣
Dragos Anton: A♠K♠
Daniel Blum: A♣K♦
After a flop of 4♣6♠3♣, Anton luckily hit a runner-runner flush with the 5♠2♠ runout to secure a massive double up and send Fiasson to the rail.
Level: 31
Blinds: 100,000/200,000
Ante: 200,000
Action folded to Gaspar Fernandez in middle position who open-jammed all in for about 2,000,000. It came around to short stacked Jorg Weber in the small blind who made the call for 510,000 and was all in. The big blind folded.
Jorg Weber: 6♥6♦
Gaspar Fernandez: A♦6♣
No Ax or four-flush for Fernandez on the 5♦J♣3♠J♠7♣ runout and Weber was pushed the pot for a double-up.
Juli Black under the gun with 1,520,000 and Tomasz Brzezinski in the big blind with 2,100,000 were both all in and at risk against Alexander Yen in the hijack.
Juli Black: AxQx
Tomasz Brzezinski: K♠K♥
Alexander Yen: AxQx
Brzezinski kept the lead all the way through a board of 6♠Q♦3♠6♣2♠ and tripled up while Black was eliminated.
In the next hand, Yen jammed for roughly 475,000 and Brzezinski called from the small blind.
Alexander Yen: A♥2♦
Tomasz Brzezinski: A♠J♥
Brzezinski flopped top pair on 8♣J♦Q♣2♠6♣ to score another elimination.
The hand was picked up on the flop, with Alan Hamza already all in preflop in early position.
The board read 2♥10♥J♥, and Alan Hamza, who had only 20,000 chips left in the big blind, donated them to the pot against Matthew McEwan, the small blind.
Alan Hamza: K♠J♠
Shawn Stern: A♣10♦
Matthew McEwan: 8♥7♥
McEwan had flopped a flush and held a straight flush draw. Stern had a pair of tens, but needed running cards to win. Hamza was in a similar boat with top pair.
Those boats sank with the 4♠ turn, which rendered the 2♦ river meaningless.
Matthew Salsberg on the button saw his 1,125,000-chip stack being called by Shawn Stern in middle position.
Matthew Salsberg: A♥J♥
Shawn Stern: A♠10♦
Salsberg hit a flush on a board of 6♥K♥6♦6♠8♥ to secure a double up with a flush.
Gaspar Fernandez raised all in from middle position with a 950,000-chip stack.
Chongxian Yang, who was in the big blind, made the call.
Gaspar Fernandez: 9♠5♠
Chongxian Yang: K♥7♠
The door card excited Fernandez, and he remained happy in taking a double-up through the runout of Q♦2♠Q♥J♠.
