Dolan vs. Gimbel
A pair of Floridians are seated at the same table and going to battle in Oklahoma.
We picked up the action after the 
flop was dealt and John Dolan check-called 625 from Harrison Gimbel (a third player in the hand folded before Gimbel). The 
landed on the turn and Dolan check-called 1,125 from Gimbel this time. The river delivered the 
and Dolan checked for a third time. Gimbel bet 2,325, Dolan called, and Gimbel tabled 
for aces and fours.
Dolan mucked, surrendering the pot to Gimbel.

Ho Eliminates Tamayo
We arrived at Maria Ho's table in the midst of a flurry of raises between her and Jonathan Tamayo.
By this point, Ho had put in a re-raise to what looked to be 1,525 on the button and action was back on Tamayo in the cutoff. He came back over the top of Ho and made it 3,300 before Ho re-raised to 7,600. Tamayo responded by moving all in for roughly 14,000, Ho callled with the covering stack, and the hands were revealed.
Showdown
Tamayo: 
Ho: 
The board ran out 
, paring Ho's ace on the flop to send Tamayo to the rail.
