Action was three-way to the 7♥K♥4♥7♣ turn, where Robert Smith checked from under the gun and Brandin Power followed with a check in the cutoff.
Michael Reesman fired a bet of 30,000 on the button, and Smith made the call. Power took a moment before announcing all in, and Reesman got out of the way. Smith made the call, and the hands were turned up.
Robert Smith: KxQx 
Brandin Power: A♥6♥
Smith's two pair were behind Power's flush. The river was a blank, as Smith could not improve and saw the last of his stack head to Power.
Michael Reesman three-bet from the small blind to 27,000, and Roxanne Marano-Logrande made the call in the cutoff.
The J♦2♠8♠ flop saw Reesman led out for 14,000, and Marano-Logrande called to the Q♥ turn. Reesman announced all in, and Marano-Logrande quickly called.
Roxanne Marano-Logrande: K♠J♠
Michael Reesman: A♠Q♦
Reesman's pair of queens held through the 7♦ river, as Marano-Logrande could not improve and made her exit.
Vincent Loria opened to 9,000 from middle position, and Angela Allen made the call in the hijack.
The 2♥4♣8♥ flop saw Loria lead out for 13,000, and Allen called to the A♣ turn.
Loria checked to Allen, who fired a bet of 20,000. The call was made, and the dealer completed the board with the J♠ river.
Another check from Loria led to a bet of 20,000 from Allen again. Loria did not take long to make the call, showing A♦10♦ for top pair. That was enough the secure the pot, as Allen mucked her hand.
