"Are you getting this PokerNews?", called Pat Lyons. In a battle of the blinds Dae Woong Song moved all in for 450,000 in the small blind and Pat Lyons in the big blind announced, "What if I wake up with Ax6x?" Lyons called.
Dae Woong Song: Q♠10♥
Pat Lyons: A♠6♠
The board came out 9♦3♦Q♥10♠6♦ and Song won with his two pair.
John Ciccarelli opened under the gun to 120,000 and Anthony Nowalany in middle position raised to 325,000. After some thoughts, Ciccarelli announced all in and was immediately called.
Both players held AxKx off suit and they split the pot after an uneventful board.
As told by the players at the table: the under-the-gun player, Shengchao Zhu raised to 110,000 and Joseph Marchal in the hijack three-bet to 300,000. Zhu four-bet all in for 900,000 and Marchal went into the think tank for a good few minutes.
Marchal folded face up QxQx and Zhu raked the pot.

"Should I call?" asked Rheem. Aguirre didn't answer and Rheem found the fold.
Francis Hatchikian, in the small blind, moved all in for 275,000 chips, and was called by Alec Magdan in the big blind.
Francis Hatchikian: 9♦9♠

On the next hand, Cynthia White wasn't as lucky as Hatchikian when she was all-in for 245,000 chips against Eden Anzio.
Cynthia White: A♦J♠
Eden Anzio: K♦10♥
