Stanislav Halatenko raised to 300,000 in the cutoff and Kosei Ichinose defended the big blind. On a flop of J?10?5?, Ichinose checked and Halatenko bet 400,000 to take down the pot.
Halatenko raised to 300,000 again the next hand and Ren Lin glanced over at him from the other side of the dealer. "Just fold to heads-up," Halatenko joked and claimed the blinds soon after.
Sam Soverel then raised to 350,000 and was called by Travis Pearson in the big blind. The 10?5?2? flop went check, check, before Pearson bet the 8? turn for 400,000. Soverel called and faced another bet of 1,000,000 by Pearson after the 2? river.
Soverel double-checked his cards twice, gave it some consideration for almost two minutes and flung the cards with force into the muck.
