Jeff Rossiter opened the cutoff to 5,400 and Phil Ivey on the button three bet to (what we believe was) 18,000. Fedor Holz in the small blind tanked till he only had a couple of seconds left, and then four-bet allin for 56,100. The big blind folded and Rossiter announced all in over the top. Ivey, now with a face indicating he wasn;t too happy about all of this, eventually reluctantly folded.

Fedor Holz:
The flop came , just about flopping Holz dead. The on the turn sealed the deal and the on the river made things official.
Rossiter with a smile asked his neighbor if he would've won the hand (basically asking if Ivey had folded kings) while stacking his newfound chips. Ivey, raising an eyebrow and rolling his eyes a bit, just commented he had Holz beat.

Paul Newey:
Pratyush Buddiga:
The flop wasn't doing much for anyone with . The on the turn helped Newey a great deal but the on the river counterfeited his pair of aces and Buddiga took it down with his rivered flush.
With around 40,000 in the pot and a flop of , a raising way saw Andrew Lichtenberger get his stack of 127,900 all in and at risk against Erik Seidel, who barely had him covered with 129,600.

Seidel:
