Shibin Zhang was all in from the hijack for 83,000 when we got to his table, having shoved over the open of Lior Segre in early position. The board ran out 
, so Zhang's 
was good for a pair of tens to beat 
.

Julius Malzanini built some early profit and fellow countryman Oliver Weis followed right through in the Amazon Tan section. Hector Dominguez-Depaz three-bet all in with pocket nines and Weis snap-called with pocket jacks to deal the final blow.
Another player at the table asked "did you think for a second you could lose this one?"
Weis grinned and replied with a "not really." He bumped his stack to around 1.3 million, not far behind Malzanini.
