Action was caught after the board ran out 9♥K♦4♦8♥9♣ when a middle position player led out for 22,000.
Ali Ghezelbash three-bet to 55,000 from the cutoff.
His opponent made the call, and Ghezelbash showed 8♦8♣ for a full house.
Vincent Lam, who started the day with 240,000 chips, has already more than doubled his stack and now has 545,000 in front of him.
On the last hand, Lam raised in the hijack to 6,000 and called a three-bet worth 18,000 from Mearl Wisehart in the big blind.
The flop revealed K♥9♣6♥ and Wisehart fired 40,000 with around 85,000 chips behind. Lam didn't take long to shove and Wisehart snap-called all in for the following showdown:
Mearl Wisehart: A♥A♠
Vincent Lam: 6♦6♣
Wisehart had the bad surprise to see Lam had hit a set and made his way to the exit after the 2♠ and the 2♥ completed the board.
In a three-way pot, the board showed 10♦Q♠5♥2♣ when Leo Margets checked in the big blind to Weiran Pu who bet 6,000. Only the player on the button called.
The 6♦ completed the board on the river and this time they both checked. Pu tabled 10♥8♥ and it was enough to make his opponent muck his cards.
Eyal Bensimhon was on the button when Byron Johnson went all in from early position with his last 12,000 chips. Bensimhon had an easy call.
Byron Johnson: 8♠8♦
Eyal Bensimhon: Q♦K♥
The board did not look good for Johnson when it came out 10♦K♠4♦7♥9♥ and Bensimhon received the win with his pair of kings.
Johannes Lahner moved all of his chips in early position for about 41,000 and a player in middle position called. Lahner was at risk of being eliminated.
Johannes Lahner: Q♦Q♣
Middle position: A♦Q♠
The board brought no help for the middle position with 8♣4♣5♥2♠4♠ and Lahner received a much needed chip boost.
