Sorel Mizzi checked from the big blind and Jonas Kronwitter bet 11,000. That got a call from Igor Yaroshevskyy but Mizzi made the total bet 31,200.

Daniel Negreanu was left with about 10 big blinds and shoved those in from middle position. The 24,400 shove was called by his neighbor Davidi Kitai in the hijack position.
