Ranno Sootla opened to 1,700 from the gun, which picked up one caller before the action folded to Kimberly Durham in the big blind. Durham three-bet to 5,700 before seeing Sootla return in kind, four-betting to 12,700. The initial caller folded, but Durham called.
On a board of 7♣4♥3♥, Durham checked before folding when Sootla put her all in, for her remaining 13,500.
Youssafi Khalil made a sizable raise to 2,700 under the gun. It folded to Bjorn Muller on the button, who upped the ante to 7,000. Khalil called to the 3♥J♣9♦ flop, which both players checked.
Khalil then bet 3,000 on the 10♥ turn. Muller tossed in a quick call, after which the 2♣ river was checked to showdown. Khalil tabled A♠J♠ for top pair, and Muller showed his A♣K♠ before it was mucked.
"At least your bad beat story will be on PokerNews," Will Kassouf, also present at the table, said to Muller as the pot was dragged to Khalil.
The action began with Angela Rogan limping in early position, which tempted Stephen Neeson to follow suit, hoping to see a cheap flop from the small blind. Mikael Magnusson put an end to the fun in the big blind, though, raising to 2,400. Neither Rogan nor Neeson folded, and the three went to a flop.
The action checked through on the monotone 7♣9♣10♣ flop, giving Neeson the green light to take over the betting lead on the K♥ turn. His wager of 4,000 was enough to remove Magnusson from the pot, but it couldn't shake Rogan out.
The 8♠ river completed the board, and both players checked.
Neeson turned over J♥8♥ to show his bluff on the turn had paired up on the river. That was enough to claim the pot as Rogan flipped over 6♠6♣.
Keegan Smith in early position and Kamil Karaoglu in late position were on a K♥9♣4♣ flop. With only 5,200 in the pot, Karaoglu had put in 23,000, which Smith raised all-in to 51,700.
Karaoglu spent some time in the tank, then called with the covering stack.
Keegan Smith: 9♠9♦ 
Kamil Karaoglu: K♦Q♠
The 4♠ turn provided Karaoglu with outs, but Smith's full house remained best on the A♥ river to drag the big pot and double up.
The remaining players are taking a 30-minute break.

With a pot of 7,800 in the middle, and a flop of 6♥J♠8♥ face up on the table, Cameron Sinclair put out a bet of 3,100 from middle position. David Marboeuf called on the button, but the big blind, who was also in the pot, folded.
The A♣ turn joined the board, and when Sinclair continued for 5,000, Marboeuf returned his cards to the dealer.
Arriving on the 8♣A♦8♠ flop with 16,000 already in the middle, Gilbert Black bet 7,100 from the small blind. Lewis Aikman was on the button and called, after which the 7♠ turn was dealt.
Black sized up to 15,000, but instantly folded when Aikman announced his all-in.
