Joshua McSwiney made it 35,000 to go from early position and Banipal Babana shoved around 125,000 from the big blind. McSwiney snap-called.
Banipal Babana: A♥10♣
Joshua McSwiney: 9♦9♠
Babana needed to win the flip to stay in contention but was left drawing extremely thin after the 2♥Q♦9♣ flop gave McSwiney middle set. The 7♥ turn left Babana dead, and the meaningless 5♥ filled out the board.

With around 150,000 in the pot on a full board of A♦10♣K♥2♦9♣, Liam Jehu in the small checked and Kahle Burns on the button bet 100,000.
Jehu then took some time before he check-raised to 205,000, leaving himself just 5,000 behind. It was Burns' turn to go into the tank and after some consideration, he called.
Jehu then showed the flopped the nuts with Q♦J♣, and Burns mucked.

Joseph Antar made it 30,000 from the hijack and Kahle Burns three-bet the cutoff to 90,000. Once it got back to Antar, he called.
The flop came 3♥8♥2♣ and Antar check-called a bet of 110,000 from Burns to see the 6♠ drop on the turn. Again Antar checked, and again Burns fiired, this time for 200,000. Antar took close to two minutes before he opted to shove around 800,000. Burns snap-folded.

Shan Huang had been short-stacked for quite some time and finally got his last 200,000 into the middle. Kahle Burns made the call.
Shan Huang: 7♥7♦
Kahle Burns: J♦J♠
Huang was crushed by the overpair of Burns and didn't find much help on the 2♥2♣A♠ flop. A 9♠ on the turn left him with one more shot at two outs, but the seven from heaven didn't appear as the Q♣ filled out the board.

Liam Jehu raised to 55,000 from the small blind and Joshua McSwiney called in the big blind.
The flop came 2♦A♣8♣ and jehu put out a bet, which McSwiney called to see the 9♦ turn. Jehu then shoved, and McSwiney snap-called for his last 245,000.
Joshua McSwiney: K♦K♠
Liam Jehu: 5♣3♣
McSwiney couldn't have gotten his chips in faster and seemed to know his kings were best, but the job wasn't done just yet. Jehu had a flush draw and a gutshot, which if he connected with, would leave the field on the bubble. Insteasd, the Cowboys held up as the 10♠ filled out the board, earning McSwiney a double-up.
