Mateusz Wozniak opened in the hijack before being three-bet to 1,700 by Darius Gadeikis next to act. The action quickly folded back to Wozniak and he made the call.
The dealer fanned a flop of J♦7♦6♥, and Wozniak check-called a continuation bet of 2,500.
When the 5♠ hit the turn, Wozniak checked and Gadeikis fired 6,000 into the middle. Wozniak then check-raised all-in for 23,200, forcing Gadeikis to tank-fold.
Andrey Andreev raised from middle position, Mehdi Rebai three-bet to 1,600 from the button, and Andreev called.
The flop came K♦A♦Q♠. Andreev checked, Rebai bet 1,500 and Andreev called. The turn came the 3♥. Andreev checked again and Rebai sized up to 6,000. Andreev folded and Rebai took down the pot.
The pot stood at 5,700 with two players looking at a full board of J♥J♦K♦5♣9♣.
Khalil Youssafi, in the big blind, bet out for 2,500. Archibald Seaton, who was under the gun, put in a big raise to 15,000 and Youssafi went deep into the tank, finally making the call.
Seaton tabled K♣J♣ for a flopped full house, while Youssafi folded Q♠10♥ face up for a rivered straight.
Philippe Souki opened 500 on the button before Jonathan Khalifa shoved his last 5,400 without looking. "Just take it, I don't want to play this table anymore."
The big blind folded, and Souki made the call.
Jonathan Khalifa: Q♠2♣
Philippe Souki: A♦7♠
Khalifa got his wish to exit the table as the dealer ran out the A♣10♦6♠K♦5♦ board.
Khalil Youssafi raised to 500 from under the gun, Stephane Gabarre three-bet to 1,700 from the button and Youssafi made the call.
The 2♠5♥5♠ flop saw Youssafi check-call a bet of 600 from Gabarre.
The 10♠ turn checked through to the 7♠river. Youssafi bet out for 3,000 and Gabarre snap-folded the 10♦ face up. Youssafi dragged the pot in, flashing the A♠ for the nut flush as he did so.
The cards are in the air and play has commenced for the day.
