Heath Wins Quads vs. Quads, Gets Most Understated Response in History
The chips were already in the middle, the full board out, a total pot of more than 3.5 million. A last bet of 1,450,000 was the amount being counted out in front of Ben Heath. Milad Langar had to match this to award him his full double through, which he did while the table pretended not to be entertained by what the deck had coughed up:
Heath: [KsKh]
Langar: [8s8c]
Board: [8dQxKc8hkd].
Big quads beat smaller quads.
“Nice hand, sir,” said a reaction-free Langar, who dropped to 140,000 and bust soon after.

Lehr Shown a Bluff
Legendary poker player Keith Lehr opened the action with a raise to 100,000 under the gun. Jack Sinclair, chipleader at least at the start of the day, called from the small blind. Waheed Ashraf over called from the big blind.
The flop of [JsTdAs] was checked through so the trio saw the [2s] on the turn for free. Sinclair checked once more but Ashraf led for 125,000. Lehr raised to 355,000 with 1,335,000 behind. Sinclair thought about it for a bit but folded right before his time ran out. Ashraf three-bet to 810,000 which put the pressure on Lehr. The latter checked his cards another time, used three time extension cards, before eventually reluctantly folding.
Waheed Ashraf showed [Qh9s] while raking in the chips.

Karlic Folds to River Lead
Action picked up in a heads up pot between Adam Reynolds and Gerald Karlic on the turn of a [7d8hjh5d] board. Reynolds led for under 100,000, raised by Karlic to 230,000. He made the call to see the [6c] river, then paused long enough to throw in a timebank card before betting out 485,000 into a 600,000 total pot. Karlic folded with a head shake.

Grafton Exits to Siden with Kicker Spike Suckout
Sam Grafton was all-in preflop already when we caught the hand, for under two million chips with [AcKc], up against the [Adqs] of Per Siden. He was standing up when the [qd] appeared in the window, with the double-pairing [8s6d6c8h] changing nothing. Grafton still had a smile for the table as he took his beat and headed out.

DD versus RR
Dimitar Danchev opened to 85,000 under the gun plus one. Roberto Romanello in the hijack three-bet to 245,000 which got him rid of the rest of the players. Danchev, though, called.
Danchev checked on [Ah7s3h] and Romanello tossed in a single 100,000-chip. Danchev check-raised to 275,000 and Romanello called.
The [9c] hit the turn and Danchev shoved for what appeared to be 595,000. Romanello instantly folded.
| Player | Chips | Change |
|---|---|---|
| Roberto Romanello | 2,150,000 |
950,000 |
| Dimitar Danchev | 1,735,000 |

Marcel Luske Hits the Rail
Marcel Luske was seen walking away from his table, not a good sign at this stage of the tournament. Luske explained how he had 1.1 million in chips before the start of the hand when someone opened for 85,000 and another player three-bet to 225,000. With [AxKx] in the big blind, Luske four-bet to 675,000. The initial raiser folded but the player to three-bet called.
The flop came ten-high and Luske shoved. His opponent called with [JxJx] and that meant the demise of the Dutch longtime poker player as no ace or king appeared on the turn or river.

Cimbolas Gives Up on the River
Caught from the turn, a pot of around 550,000 already in the middle, Nicholas Nemis bet out 270,000, called by Matas Cimbolas. The river brought the [as] to join the [3ctstcad] Nemis threw in a timebank card instead of chips – at first. He eventually made the decision to move all-in for 725,000. Cimbolas threw his cards in the muck with some vehemence.
