Lok Chan raised to 9,000 in early position and Kam Low three-bet to 33,000 on the button. The blinds folded and Chan made the call.
The dealer fanned a flop of 10♥7♠7♦ and both players checked to the 6♣ turn. Chan fired out a bet of 40,000 and Low pushed in a call.
When the 9♠ completed the board, Chan pushed forward a large stack of red and a small stack for a bet of 124,000. Low tanked for about a minute before surrendering the pot.
On a board reading 8♥5♦7♠9♦7♥, Felipe Ramos placed a hefty wager of 50,000; this sent his opponent in late position into the tank.
After some time he found the call and saw the bad news as Ramos rolled A♦10♥7♣9♠ for the runner runner boat.
Ramos mentioned to his opponent, "You knew something was up... you took too long.", perhaps indicating that his opponent should have gone with his first instinct instead of overthinking it.
Fernando Habegger relayed a hand he had just won to PokerNews:
Habegger raised under the gun to 10,000 and a player three-bet to 22,000. The action folded back around to him as he made the call.
On the 5x5x6x flop, Habegger check-raised the 20,000 bet to 45,000 and his opponent jammed for 110,000, which he called.
Opponent: AxAxQx7x
Fernando Habegger: 8x7x6x5x
Habegger had flopped a full house and the board ran out Qx on the turn and Jx on the river for him to eliminate his opponent.
The following hand, Stephen Graner raised to 9,000 and Habegger defended the big blind.
The dealer fanned a flop of K♦6♠2♥ and Habegger check-called a bet of 16,000.
The 9♠ hit the turn and Habegger checked once again before Graner made a pot-sized bet of 56,000.
"What do you have back? About 18,000?" Habegger asked, before putting in a raise. Graner quickly called off his stack of 71,000 and both hands were tabled.
Stephen Graner: Q♥J♥5♦5♠
Fernando Habegger: 9♣8♥6♣2♠
Habegger was ahead with his two pair but the 10♣ river improved Graner to a straight as he collected the double up.
The board read J♠9♦3♠K♥ and Thomas Taylor was faced with a bet of 25,000 and made the call.
The J♥ landed on the river and his opponent tossed in another bet of 25,000, which Taylor snap-called.
His opponent whipped over A♥A♠10♣6♦ for two pair and Taylor scooped the pot with Q♥10♥10♠9♠, turning a straight.
Nível: 14
Blinds: 2,000/4,000
Ante: 4,000
All players remaining in the field are now guaranteed a min-cash of $1,602. The day will end after the 17th level.
With only a handful of bust outs separating him from a min-cash, Johnny Chan placed an all-in wager on a board that read 8♦K♠4♣. Heads up, his opponent put in the call and Chan at risk.
Johnny Chan: A♣A♠6♠4♥
Opponent: K♥10♠9♦J♥
The turn was the 7♥ and it left Chan's opponent plenty of outs going into the river. The river was a brick and Chan could be heard asking the dealer, "No more money?" indicating he would have liked to have won an even bigger pot.
With 304 players remaining and 303 getting paid, the tournament director has instructed the dealers to hold up at the completion of the hand. Play will be hand-for-hand until the bubble bursts.
