Heads-up to the A♥Q♥5♠7♣ turn, the big blind bet 23,300 and Srikanth Goud called in an early position.
The Q♦ on the river paired the board and both players opted to check. The big blind showed his K♥10♥ and Goud won the pot with his 5♥2♥, having missed the inferior flush draw but holding a piece of the board.
Thomas Cannuli from middle position and Eric Yanovsky were tangled in a pot with the board reading K♦2♠2♣ on the flop. Cannuli had check-raised a bet of 1,500 to 6,500, and Yanovsky called.
On the 9♦ turn, Cannuli slowed down with a check, Yanovsky bet 6,700, and Cannuli called.
The river brought the A♦, completing the backdoor flush. Cannuli took a moment before he announced all in, with both players holding almost exactly 58,000 for an almost two times overbet.
Yanovsky took around a minute before folding, pleading with Cannuli for a reveal, but he gave nothing away as he dragged the pot.
Having defended the big blind against a raise by Justin Liberto, Mike Dentale check-called the J♠5♦3♠ flop for 2,500. They checked the 4♣ turn and Dentale led the 4♠ river for 10,000.
Liberto called and then mucked when he was shown A♠2♣ for the wheel.
"You hit the four?" Dentale asked and Liberto nodded.
Bin Weng headed to the 10♦7♠2♣K♥ turn on which Stephen Lateano checked. Weng bet 6,300 and was then check-raised for another 10,000 on top to send his cards into the muck.
One hand later, Weng opened to 1,700 and received three callers. On the 9♠3♦3♣ flop, it checked to the button who bet 3,000. Vitaly Kovyazin in the big blind check-raised and claimed the pot.
A player opened to 1,600 in middle position and was called by the hijack. Vitaly Kovyazin in the cutoff then squeezed to 6,600. In the big blind, Aaron Mermelstein jammed for an even 30,000. The original opener then called off his 25,000 stack, the hijack folded, and Kovyazin called to put both players at risk.
Aaron Mermelstein: J♦J♣ 
Middle Position: A♠A♦
Vitaly Kovyazin: A♥K♣
Mermelstein was in rough shape with his tournament life at risk. However, the J♠ appeared in the window to give Mermelstein top set, followed by the 8♥4♠.
The Q♥ came on the turn to give a gutshot to Big Slick, but the K♦ river secured the win for Mermelstein, who tripled his stack.
A preflop raising war brought the chips into the middle between Thomas Francis and his opponent with Francis at risk for 40,500.
Francis' Q♣Q♠ were ahead against J♣J♥ and the lead grew further on the Q♦9♠3♥ flop.
The A♥ turn officially locked up the double to make the 4♦ river meaningless.
Madan Kumar opened to 1,600 from the hijack and then called after the small blind jammed for about 14,000, covering him slightly.
Small blind: K♠K♣
Madan Kumar: A♠Q♦
Kumar needed some help to crack his opponent's kings as the 5♦3♠2♦ flop added a gutshot to his immediate outs. Nothing changed on the 9♥ turn, but the river was the 4♦, completing the wheel for Kumar to collect the bounty.
"You don't even understand," a tablemate added as Kumar stacked his newfound chips, "He was just down to 300 chips."
Kumar now sits around 33,000, increasing his stack by a factor of 110 in a couple orbits.
Huabao Chen raised to 2,000 on the button for both players in the blinds to call. On the K♠J♥5♦ flop, they checked to Chen who bet 1,400 and picked up two calls.
The 9♣ followed on the turn and it was once again checked to Chen. He moved all-in for around 21,000 and took it down right there.
