Artur Wasek opened for 225,000 but John Juanda made it 500,000 from the button. Wasek eyed him up. before flat-calling.
Wasek continued to eye up Juanda with some suspicion as they checked down the board. At the end of it, Juanda turned over pocket jacks, and Wasek could only boast pocket nines. He roleld his eyes towards the ceiling, and is now very short - perhaps 800,000.
David Vamplew raised to 160,000 and Kayvan Payman pushed all-in for around 800,000 which was enough to get Vamplew off the hand.
Per Ummer raised to 200,000 from his fairly short-stack and Artur Wasek made the call from an equally shortish stack. The flop was and Ummer bet 300,000 to pick up the pot from the Pole.

Juanda checked the turn and Payman now became cagey and checked behind; they checked down the river as well and we got our first showdown of the day. Payman showed an ace, we understand (we didn't actually see it ourselves, but it was announced) and looked extremely frustrated when Juanda turned over for two pair, sixes and fours.
It folded around to Tom Marchese on the button, who now raised small rather than going all in - just 165,000. But the hand was not shove-free, as Per Ummer in the big blind solemnly pushed his whole stack across the line, and Marchese gave it up.
