Jonathan Borenstein limped the small blind holding the Q?9? and Sami Bechahed checked his option in the big with the J?10?.
The Q?Q?9? flop was gin for Borenstein, who flopped a boat and checked. Bechahed bet 125,000, and Borenstein called to see the 3? turn.
Borenstein checked for a second time and Bechahed bet 425,000. Borenstein used a time extension before just calling and the 8? completed the board on the river to give Bechahed a useless straight.
Borenstein checked for the third time and Bechahed bet 1.2 million. Borenstein moved all in for 190,000 more and Bechahed called only to be shown the bad news.

Sami Bechahed opened to 240,000 in the cutoff with A?10? and David Coleman called in the big blind with 3?2?.
Coleman checked his flush draw on the flop of A?Q?K? and Bechahed continued for 150,000 with his gutshot. Coleman called.
Coleman then bet 240,000 with his flush on the J? turn and Bechahed called with his useless straight. Coleman sized up to 950,000 on the 4? river and Bechahed went in the tank before calling and seeing the bad news.

Nick Schulman raised to 240,000 from early position with the A?4? and David Coleman called from the button with the A?J?. Jonathan Borenstein came along from the big blind with the J?8? and it was three-way action to the flop of K?2?2?, which checked around.
After the dealer burned and turned the J?, Borenstein checked despite pairing his jack, and Schulman, who had the worst hand, bet 300,000. Coleman called with the best hand, and Borenstein got out of the way.
The A? river was a cooler card for Schulman, who made aces and deuces with a king kicker.
“Very unlucky card,” Phil Hellmuth said in the commentary booth.
Schulman bet again but downsized to just 150,000. Coleman just called and won the 1.8 million pot.

Ping Liu raised to 275,000 under the gun with the K?10? and Sergio Aido looked down at the A?Q? on the button. He just called and that inspired Sami Bechahed to come along from the big blind with the K?J?.
The 5?10?K? flop gave all three players a little something, but even so it checked around to the turn, which was the 5?.
Bechahed led out for 300,000, Liu called, as did Aido, and the 7? completed the board on the river. The players returned to checking and Liu took down the 1,905,000 pot.
Sergio Aido opened to 275,000 in the cutoff with A?Q? and Jonathan Borenstein three-bet to 750,000 on the button with A?K?. Aido called.
Aido checked on the flop of A?4?10? and Borenstein continued for 600,000. Aido called. Aido checked again on the 4? turn and Borenstein sized up to 1,400,000. Aido burned through a couple of time banks, then laid it down.
