Carlos Torres open shipped for 385,000 from under the gun and Alejandro Amador called in middle position. It folded to Richard Leger in the small blind and he called at risk for 210,000.

Torres:
Amador:
Leger:

Leger was the shortest stack in the three-way all-in but had the best hand. But the flop came to put Torres in the lead with two pair queens and sixes and the board finished with the turn and river.

Leger was eliminated in 18th place while Torres virtually tripled up.

Carlos Torres – 1,030,000 (41 bb)
Alejandro Amador – 660,000 (26 bb)

With about 600,000 in the pot and the board out and reading , Kalyan Chivukula checked from middle position and Alex Morgovsky moved all in for 375,000.

Chivukula thought for a long time, trying to figure out what to do, and Steve Buckner called the clock. Right before his hand was killed, Chivukula tossed in a call.

“Please show me ace-king,” Chivukula said and Morgovsky obliged.

He showed and Chivukula quickly flipped up for a pair fours to take the pot.

“You called it!” Raminder Singh congratulated Chivukula.

Action was opened in early position and Roni Zelichonok moved all in for 345,000 from middle position. Paul Domb reshipped from the cutoff with his big stack to get a fold from the opener after a short think.

Domb:
Zelichonok:

Zelichonok saw the bad news with Domb holding a monster and began collecting his things. He was joking with the table when the flop came then quickly sat back down when he made a set of sevens on the turned and finished his double on the river.

Paul Domb – 910,000 (61 bb)
Roni Zelichonok – 755,000 (50 bb)
