Thomas Boivin opened to 50,000 in the hijack and Nick Maimone just flat-called on the button. The flop came A♥K♠2♦ and both players checked to the 8♠ on the turn.
Boivin led out with a bet of 230,000 on the turn and Maimone just called to see the 3♦ on the river. Boivin checked this time and Maimone sat up in his chair. "This isn't right," he said as he knuckled the table.
Boivin flipped over Q♠10♠ for a missed combo draw while Maimone showed A♦K♥ for top two pair.

Masashi Oya and David Coleman had all of their chips in the middle on the flop of Q♣8♥2♣. Oya was the player at risk for 240,000 and required some help on the runout.
Masashi Oya: A♥8♣
David Coleman: A♣A♦
Oya flopped a pair of eights but the pocket aces of Coleman were still well out front. The 6♥ on the turn changed nothing but it was the 8♦ on the river that sprung Oya from his seat in excitement.

Dominik Nitsche raises to 60,000 in the cutoff and on the button, Martin Zamani three bet to 295,000. In the small blind Thomas Boivin moved all in for 1,114,000 which saw Nitsche fold and Zamani said "Jesus Christ Thomas."
He tossed in every time extension he had in front of him while pondering a decision. "So initially I made it this big with the intention to fold to you," Zamani continued, "but I think you knew that." He continued to think about his decision as most of his time extensions were used. After some more thought he put in the chips and turned over his hand.
Thomas Boivin: Q♦Q♠
Martin Zamani: 10♠10♥
The board ran out 3♥J♠7♣9♦6♥ and the queens held up for Boivin who took down a massive pot to become the tournament chip leader.
