Ben Lakatos limped the small blind and Fernando Habegger checked from the big blind. Lakatos checked and subsequently called for 118,750 on the flop, then did so again for 363,500 on the turn. Lakatos also checked the river and Habegger jammed successfully to win the pot without showdown.

Vincas Tamasauskas won the next two bigger pots without resistance on the turn to establish a comfortable lead in three-handed play.
