After some preflop back-and-forth, Zachary Hammons and Tommy Zhang got all of the chips into the middle, with Hammons at risk.
Zachary Hammons: J♥J♦
Tommy Zhang: A♦A♠
The runout of 5♣6♠3♥7♣9♠ was of no help to Hammons and he was sent to the exit while Zhang added to his stack.
Level: 15
Blinds: 3,000/6,000
Ante: 6,000
Anthony Quattrochi opened to 12,000 and was called by Heriberto Guerra in the big blind.
The flop came out A♥A♠7♥ and Guerra took the lead and bet 15,000, which produced a rather hasty fold from Quattrochi, claiming he had pocket jacks. This garnered quite a reaction from the table with a lot of puzzled looks.
"I've played with him all day! He's got it 100%!"
Level: 14
Blinds: 3,000/5,000
Ante: 5,000
After a preflop betting war, Victor De Los Santos, Chad Melerine, and Cord Garcia got all of the chips into the middle, with Garcia covering.
Victor De Los Santos: A♠K♠
Chad Melerine: Q♣Q♠
Cord Garcia: J♣J♠
Melerine was in a great spot to triple up, but true to Cord form, the runout came 2♥5♠9♣J♥K♥ to give him a set of jacks on the turn to scoop the entire pot, busting both players.

On a heads-up flop of J♥5♥7♦, Chi Nguyen led for 12,000 and was called by Karim Bevans to see the turn 3♥. Nguyen checked, which led to a bet of 35,000 from Bevans and a call from Nguyen.
Nguyen then checked in the dark and a 8♥ rolled off on the river, making a flush for any heart holding. Bevans thought for a second and decided to check back.
"Any heart, you're good," Nguyen said as he turned over the 3♠ for a pair of threes only.
"Straight," Bevans announced as he flipped over 9♠10♠ for a made straight on the river to take down the pot.
