Francisco Hernandez (X)(X) / / (X)
Cyndy Violette (X)(X) / / (X)
Mikhail Smirnov (X)(X) / / (X)
We caught the action on fifth street, Violette betting out and getting called by both opponents. Violette led again on sixth, Smirnov called, Hernandez raised, and both Violette and Smirnov committed another bet. All hell broke loose on the river as the action was four-bet three ways.
Smirnov showed for an ace-high flush and took the high while Violette tabled , winning the low with 6-5-3-2-A. Hernandez mucked. He is down to 23,000 while Violette is up to 111,000 and Smirnov is sitting on 93,000.

Opponent (X)(X) / / (X)
Allen Kessler (X)(X) /
Seed was all-in for the bring-in and got three callers. They continued betting on the side-- well, except for Allen Kessler, who folded on fourth street.
Seed slapped his on the table. "Flush!" he exclaimed. It was good to take down the side pot and keep him on life support with 4,700 in chips. Bach showed and won the main with a pair of kings, taking his stack up to 88,000.
Gus Hansen: (X)(X) / / (X)
Opponent: (X)(X) / - fold
