Yokosawa Becomes First Elimination

Level 2 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

On a {q-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{6-Hearts} board, with around 60,000 chips in the middle already, Masato Yokosawa moved all in for 54,000 and opponent Ahadpur Khangah snap-called.

Masato Yokosawa: {a-Clubs}{6-Clubs}
Ahadpur Khangah: {5-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}

Khangah nodded knowingly when he saw his opponent's flush, but it was Yokosawa getting to his feet when the {q-Spades} on the river gave Khangah a full house.

Haxton Scores Miracle Double

Level 1 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

After seemingly losing some chips to tablemate Ahadpur Khangah, on a {5-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{9-Clubs} flop Matthias Eibinger check-raised Isaac Haxton, and the pair eventually got their chips in the middle.

Matthias Eibinger: {6-Hearts}{7-Hearts}
Isaac Haxton: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}

Haxton was drawing slim with his opponent having flopped a straight, with a straight flush draw to boot. The turn was the {8-Clubs} and the river the {k-Clubs} giving Haxton a full house and doubling up!

Level 1 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

The river was the {j-Spades}. Schemion used a time extension before betting 17,500. Heath quickly called.

"Full house," said Schemion, tabling {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds} and Heath quickly mucked.

First Blood to Davies

Level 1 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Seth Davies opened to 2,000 and Alexander Zaverukha defended his big blind. The flop came {5-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} and Zaverukha check-called 4,500 into a pot of 5,500.

The turn was the {j-Spades} and both players checked.

Zaverukha checked the {q-Clubs} river to Davies who bet 17,000. Zaverukha called and Davies showed {q-Spades}{9-Spades} for a rivered pair of queens which was good enough to take down the pot.
