With the board showing 9s8c3d6c on the turn, Antoine Asik bet 225,000 from the small blind, Bryan Rosen raised from the button to 550,000, and Asik tanked for a while before he calls.

Elias Nassif (UTG) just doubled up with AhKc against Hen Mizrahi’s KsQh in middle position. The final board showed Kh5c4s3c9d, and Nassif won the pot with a pair of kings and his ace kicker. Mizrahi was knocked down to less than a single big blind.

Elias Nassif  –  1,000,000  (25 bb)
Hen Mizrahi  –  30,000  (<1 bb)

The next hand, Hen Mizrahi called all in from UTG+1 for 30,000. Ryan Hogan called the big blind of 40,000, and Elias Nassif checked his option in the big blind. Any additional betting would go into the side pot worth 20,000.

Both players checked to the turn on a board of JcJd10d6d, Nassif checked, Hogan bet 60,000, and Nassif folded. Hogan took the side pot.

For the main pot, Mizrahi turned over 6s5h for two pair, jacks and sixes, but he’d need to improve to stay alive against Hogan’s AhAc.

The river card was the Kd, and Hogan won the pot with his higher two pair to eliminate Mizrahi in 44th place.

Kelly Black raised under the gun to 75,000, Jack Nathan reraised from the small blind to 415,000, and Black four-bet all in for roughly 2,025,000.

Nathan went into the tank for a long time, talking out loud to himself as he considered the hand.

Nathan eventually says “I’m going to fold and show. I’ll ask you to show too, but you don’t have to.”

Nathan folds QsQd face up, and Black turns over KhQh — to the audible surprise of the table — as he takes the pot.
