Joshua Payne raised to 1,600,000 from the button with 6?5? and Jan-Peter Jachtmann called from the small blind with Q?10?. Alec Torelli looked down at Q?8? and defended his big blind.
The flop was 5?4?J?, and both players checked to Payne, who bet 2,300,000. It was too much, so Jachtmann and Torelli got away from it.
Two hands later, Ruslan Prydryk raised to 1,600,000 with A?10?, and Jose Aguilera called from the big blind with 6?6?. The flop was 9?9?3? and both players checked. They also checked the Q? turn before A? fell on the river. Aguilera checked once more and subsequently folded when Prydryk bet 1,500,000.

Jose Aguilera limped the small blind with A?8?, and Daniel Weinman, who held 10?5?, checked in the big blind to the J?6?3? flop.
Aguilera checked. Weinman bet 1,200,000, and the Spaniard came along to see the K? on the turn.
Aguilera checked once more prompting Weinman to make it 3,200,000. That ended the action right there as Aguilera folded.
Aguilera then raised the button to 1,800,000 and Weinman three-bet to 5,400,000 in the small blind. The initial raiser glanced at his table neighbour and Weinman couldn't help but grin before they engaged in some table chat.
One minute later, Aguilera sent his cards into the muck.
