Sergi Reixach raised to 80,000 from the hijack and Sirzat Hissou made the call from the small blind. Adrian Mateos also came along from the big blind before all three players checked the 7♠6♦4♠ flop.
The J♥ turn was also checked to Reixach, but this time he made a bet of 90,000. Undeterred, both Hissou and Mateos stuck around as they put in calling chips.
The 9♥ river was once again checked around. Hissou showed 2♥2♦ for pocket deuces, but Mateos tabled the winner with his 10♠9♠ for a rivered pair of nines.
Thomas Boivin raised to 80,000 in the hijack and Sirzat Hissou called on the button, as did big blind Mike Watson.
The flop came 3♥9♥6♥ and action checked to Hissou. He bet 100,000 and Watson moved all in for 260,000. Boivin asked for a count and called, while Hissou also called.
Boivin and Hissou checked down the 10♥ turn and 8♠ river. Boivin showed J♠9♠ for a pair of nines, but Hissou turned over K♣Q♥ for a flush. Watson's cards quickly hit the muck as he headed off to the exit in ninth place.
Action folded to Aurelien Russo in the small blind who raised enough to put Elias Gutierrez all in. Gutierrez quickly called for his last 565,000.
Elias Gutierrez: K♦8♦
Aurelien Russo: Q♦10♣
Russo needed to improve as the flop came 3♥3♣7♣. Gutierrez made two pair on the 8♥ turn, while Russo missed the 4♦ river and handed over most of the chips he had won in his previous all-in encounter.

Both players checked to the Q♥ river where Ten Haven led out for 200,000. Hissou quickly called, then mucked when Ten Haven showed A♥7♠ for a pair of sevens.
