Action was caught on the river with the 9♥8♠4♥4♣3♦ board on show.
Ethan Yau bet 17,000 into a pot of 20,000 from the small blind. Christopher Puetz then agonized over the decision before folding.
Despite chipping down, Yau has a very healthy stack but needs to be careful as Benjamin Kaupp and Jun Hao Wu have him covered and sit on his direct left.
Nathan Russler opened to 2,000 from middle position and Josef Gulas Jr called on his direct left.
Russler then check-jammed for 15,500 on the 8♠6♣3♣ flop after Gulas Jr bet 1,800. The latter went into the tank but eventually folded.
Chance Kornuth is a recent addition to the table and has a fresh starting stack.
Action was caught on the river with 11,500 in the middle on the J♠9♠7♠9♣10♦ board.
Alexandra Botez bet 5,000 from the big blind before Daniel Ciancio made it 15,000. After some time in the tank, Botez called.
Ciancio had the K♦Q♦ for the nut straight while Botez called with her A♥10♠.
The following hand, Daniel Rezaei opened to 2,200 and was called by the cutoff. Botez then jammed for 24,000 and both opponents folded. She then turned over the 3♣3♦ and received an ovation from BetMGM ambassador Darren Elias who was watching on from the sidelines.
On a heads-up turn board of 7♥J♦6♣A♥, the player in middle position made it 7,800 to go and Gavin Munroe made the call from the hijack.
The river came the 5♣ and the middle position fired again for 10,000, but this time Munroe responded by moving all of his chips into the middle. His opponent looked somewhat surprised by this turn of events and quickly tossed his cards into the muck to award Munroe the pot.
The action was caught on the A♦K♠3♣3♠ board, with action on the turn. Andrew Esposito bet 6,200 from under the gun into a pot of 10,500. BetMGM Qualifier Benji Felson called from the button leaving around 20,000 behind.
On the 8♠ river, Esposito put Felson all in, and the latter went into the tank before calling for his tournament life.
Esposito tabled his K♠K♦ for a set of kings and had the winner as Felson held the A♠Q♥ for a pair of aces.
Esposito made headlines recently after being caught using a solver at the WPT Gardens Poker Championship.

The remaining players are now on their second break of the day and will return to play in 15 minutes.
The action was picked up on the Q♥6♦5♦ flop, with Yue Liu check-calling Uri Reichenstein's bet of 6,500 from middle position.
This increased the size of the pot to just shy of 40,000. Liu checked once more on the 10♣ turn, and Reichenstein fired for 11,00 from the cutoff. Liu called.
Liu, with 27,000 behind, checked for a third time on the 6♠ river. Reichenstein put Liu all in and sent his opponent into the tank. With his chips in his hand, Liu rose from his seat and slammed them down to call.
Reichenstein grimaced as he rolled over his AxJx for ace-high. Liu celebrated and tabled his 8♥5♥, which was good for sixes and fives.
