Christian Cernaianu bet 2,100 from the hijack on a flop of Q♥7♠9♦ and NB called in the cutoff, as did Terence Etim in middle position.
All three players checked the 6♥ turn. Action then checked to NB on the K♠ river and he bet 8,500. Only Etim called.
NB showed 10♣10♠, but Etim had Q♣8♣ to win the pot with a pair of queens.
Michael Kane raised to 6,500 under the gun, leaving himself just 1,500 behind, as Andreas Olympios in the cutoff and big blind Andy Calderwood called.
The flop came 7♦2♣3♥ and Calderwood moved all in for 15,000. Kane called for his last chips, while Olympios got out of the way.
Michael Kane: K♣Q♥ 
Andy Calderwood: J♥J♣
There would be no triple up for Kane this time, as the board ran out 2♠5♦ to send him to the rail.
Glen Gaines moved all in for around 10,000 from the button and Jamie Walden called in the big blind.
Glen Gaines: A♥K♠
Jamie Walden: A♦J♠
Gaines had Walden dominated and was poised for a double up until the flop brought Q♣J♦5♣, giving Walden a pair of jacks. The rest of the board ran out 6♥6♦ and Walden sent Gaines to the rail.
Michael Allen and Thomas Clack built a pot of around 16,000 as they went heads-up to the 9♣2♦7♠ flop. Clack then bet 5,500 from the small blind before Allen moved all in for 24,000 on the button. Clack tanked for several minutes but eventually called.
Michael Allen: 9♠8♠
Thomas Clack: K♣Q♥
Allen found himself ahead with top pair and improved to two pair on the 8♥ turn to leave Clack drawing dead. The river was the A♥ and Allen doubled up.
Level: 8
Blinds: 400/800
Ante: 800
Three-handed on a flop of 10♣9♥3♣, John Williams bet 2,000 from early position and was called by Dean Clay in the cutoff, as well as big blind Christian Cernaianu.
The turn was the 4♠ and action checked to Clay who bet 2,000. Both opponents called and the J♦ fell on the river. Cernaianu and Williams again checked to Clay, and he checked back this time.
Cernaianu showed 8♣7♠ for a rivered straight and Williams mucked 9♦8♦, while Clay also surrendered the pot to Cernaianu.
Dean Hutchison was all in for around 40,000 from the small blind and up against Michael Rosaman under the gun.
Dean Hutchison: 10♠10♥
Michael Rosaman: A♥K♦
The flop came A♠5♥7♥ and Rosaman took the lead with a pair of aces. The rest of the board ran out 2♠5♦ and Hutchison was sent to the rail for the second time today, while Rosaman built up a massive stack that put him in contention for the chip lead.
Michael Kane was already all in as Waldemar Pedzich and PR went to the turn on a board of K♥9♠8♦5♥ with around 20,000 in the pot. Pedzich then bet 5,000 from early position and PR called in middle position.
The river was the 5♣ and Pedzich moved all in for 15,000. PR quickly folded and Pedzich showed K♣J♦ for two pair. Kane, though, had K♦Q♠ and took the main pot with his queen-kicker to triple up.
"I was prepared to rebuy. I would've folded my hand to you if I had more chips," Kane told Pedzich after the hand.
James Sassi raised to 1,200 under the gun and received three callers, including Majid Iqbal in the cutoff.
Action checked to Iqbal on the 10♣5♦6♦ flop and he bet 2,200. Only Sassi called and they went heads-up to the 8♦ turn.
Iqbal then bet 5,300 and Sassi again called. Sassi checked the 5♠ river. "You win," Iqbal said, tapping the felt and instantly mucking his cards.
"Do I have to show?" Sassi asked the dealer as he took in the pot without a showdown.
