Lou Ojeda raised from the hijack to 600,000, and Vitalijs Zavorotnijs called all in from the big blind for 425,000 with 9d6s. Ojeda turned over AcJh, and Zavorotnijs needed to improve to stay alive.

The board came 6d5h3d7d6h, and Zavorotnijs paired his six on the flop, turned a gutshot straight draw with a diamond flush draw, and rivered trip sixes to win the pot and double up in chips.

Vitalijs Zavorotnijs  –  1,300,000  (4 bb)
Lou Ojeda  –  8,300,000  (28 bb)

The next hand, Benjamin Moschel raised UTG+1 to 600,000, Vitalijs Zavorotnijs moved all in from the small blind for 1,300,000, and Moschel quickly called with Kh8h.

Zavorotnijs turned over 8s8c, and needed it to hold to stay alive.

The board came QsQc5hQd2h, and the pocket eights held up for Zavorotnijs to win the pot with a full house, queens full of eights, to double up in chips.

Vitalijs Zavorotnijs  –  3,200,000  (11 bb)
Benjamin Moschel  –  6,500,000  (22 bb)
