David Jackson raised from the cutoff to 120,000, Eddie Pak reraised from the button to 300,000, and Jackson called.

The river card was the 8d, and Jackson used a Time Chip to tank for a while before he bet 850,000. Pak quickly called, and Jackson showed Kd10d for a pair of tens. But Pak turned over KcQh for a flopped ace-high straight to win the pot worth 2,750,000.

Martina Cherr (small blind) and Jose Nadal (big blind) both put in about 800,000 preflop, leaving themselves with just 70K (Cherr) and 20K (Nadal) in chips.

The flop came As10s5d, and it wasn’t clear who bet and who called, but Nadal got it all in for his last 20,000. Nadal had Ah7s for a flopped pair of aces, and he needed it to hold to stay alive against Cherr’s KhKc.

The turn card was the 8h, the river card was the 6c, and Nadal won the pot with his pair of aces to double up in chips, knocking Cherr down to less than a big blind.
