Small blind Adam Shriki led out for 4,500. Big blind Andrius Janca raised it to 15,000. Rex Hunt Ai and Abdullah Akbarpoor surrendered. Shriki took a look at his cards and the board, then also gave up, allowing Janca to take down the pot.

Rex Hunt Ai raised to 1,600 from UTG+1 with Martin Gonzales calling from the seat to his left. Abdullah Akbarpoor re-raised it 6,500 on the button. Ai stood down while Gonzales called to see a flop of J♠ A♦ 8♥

Gonzales checked and Akbarpoor bet 3,000. Gonzales then raised to 8,000 and Akbarpoor gave it some thought before calling to see a 9♠ on the turn.

Gonzales fired another 17,000 but Akbarpoor then shoved all-in putting Gonzles at risk.

Gonzales went into deep thought before finally giving up his hand.

Nattawut Kwunsong raised to 600 from cutoff and was called by Abdullah Akbarpoor out of the small blind, and Supanat Rojsukthavorn from the big blind.

The flop came 5♣ 8♠ A♦ and the action checked to Kwunsong, who bet 1,200 which forced two folds from his opponents.

In the next hand, Kwunsong raised to 800 with Akbarpoor calling from the button, and Shuma Kimura defending his big blind.

The three players were shown a flop of 7♦ 5♦ T♣ where the action checked around for the 4♠ to appear on the turn. All three players checked to see the Q♣ land on the river.

Kwusong flashed K♠ Q♥ for a pair of queens. Kimura didn't bother to show and the pot was sent to Kwusong.

Sho Katsura of Japan took down a 2,000 pot against Abdullah Akbarpoor of Turkey when his A♠ 4♣ was the better hand on a board that showed 3♣ K♣ 3♥ 2♠ J♦ Both Katsura and Akbarpoor checked down the flop all the way to the river.

In the next hand, Katsura raised to 400 from under the gun and was met by two callers Brian James Arbaugh from mid position and Aaron Richard Valencia on the big blind.

Flop came 3♥ 4♣ T♦ . Valencia checked his option to Katsura, who bet out 800. Arbaugh stepped out of the way while Valencia stayed to see a 7♦ on the turn. Valencia checked, and then folded to the 2,000 bet of Katsura.
