Shortly after folding his top pair, Tofie Runas scooped up a big pile of chips after busting out a player. During the hand, Runas raised to 600 from the button and was limp-called by the cutoff player. At the flop of Q♣ 10♦ 4♥, the cutoff led out for 2000, but then had some thinking to do when Runas raised it up to 5000. The cutoff eventually called and both players saw a turn land 5♠. Waiving his option to bet, the cutoff faced another big bet from Runas who sent in 6000, which put the cutoff player all in. After tanking, the cutoff called for his tournament life and was way behind with his Q♦ 3♦ against Runas’s A♣ A♠. With the river of K♥, Runas scooped up a big pot while sending his opponent to the rail.
From mid position, Tofie Runas limped in, the cutoff player raised to 400, the button player and the small blind called, then Runas reraised it to 1600. Acting next, the initial raiser, the cutoff, quickly folded while the other two still in the hand made the call. At the flop of 2♣ K♦ 9♦, Runals bet 3200, got called by the button player while the sb folded. At the turn of A♦, both players opted to check. Then on the river of 3♦, Runas checked, the button bet 5675, and Runas folded after showing his A♠ top pair.
On a raised pot preflop, three players went to see a flop land K♦ A♦ 3♣. First to act was the big blind player who checked to the utg who bet small, 600, that was called by Simon Lim from the hijack seat. When action went back to the bb, he raised it up to 2150 getting utg to fold but not Lim who called. At the turn of 9♥, bb banged out 5000 and without much delay, Lim once again called. Then on the river of 4♣, bb continued his aggressive betting and went all in with around 7000 in chips. Lim called again and won the pot with his A♠ 8♣ against his opponent’s J♦ 3♦ missed flush.
Action between John King and Euryd Rivera began with Rivera raising to 450 and found himself two callers, a mid player and King.

Rivera took his time and slowly slid out 2100. King called the bet and showed his K♣ 9♣ for a nice winning full house.
Kwon Eun Ho and a player from the big blind faced a board of A♣ Q♠ 7♠ 4♦ to which the bb bet 2000. Ho tanked a bit then raised to 6500 which the bb reluctantly called. Then on the river of K♦, the bb checked to Ho who shoved inducing a fold in his opponent.

With the turn of K♦ and river of Q♣, Villamar scooped the pot and eliminated a player in the process.
