Masato Yokosawa bet 14,000 from the cutoff on a flop of J♥J♣7♦ and Brock Wilson raised to 37,000 in the big blind. Yokosawa then reraised to 60,000, Wilson made it 110,000, and Yokosawa called.
The turn was the 9♦ and Wilson bet another 80,000. Yokosawa called to the 4♣ river, where Wilson slowed down and checked. Yokosawa then moved all in and Wilson, with around 180,000 remaining, quickly folded.
Matthew Wantman raised to 95,000 with 2,000 behind from early position and Lance Hendricks called on the button.
On the J♠3♥2♠ flop, Wantman checked to Hendricks who bet the last 2,000 and Wantman called all-in.
Matthew Wantman: A♣K♣ 
Lance Hendricks: A♠J♣
Wantman had the better ace but was outflopped by Hendricks. The 5♦ on the turn gave Wantman some chop outs but it was the K♥ on the river which gave Wantman the outright win as he survived at the expense of Hendricks.
Terrance Reid bet 18,000 from the hijack on a flop of 10♣9♦2♣ and Upeshka DeSilva raised to 59,000 in the big blind. Reid then moved all in for around 350,000 and DeSilva snap-called.
Terrance Reid: A♣J♣
Upeshka DeSilva: 2♥2♠
DeSilva showed a set of deuces, while Reid was chasing the nut flush draw. The K♥ turn also gave Reid a straight draw, but he missed the K♦ river as DeSilva improved to a full house to send Reid to the rail.
Brent Burrows moved all in for 113,000 from the button and Justin Lapka called in the big blind.
Brent Burrows: A♣7♣
Justin Lapka: 4♦4♠
The K♦5♥J♠K♠ board gave Burrows additional outs to counterfeit Lapka's pair going to the river, but he missed the 6♥ river as the NAPT Gold Pass winner was sent to the rail.
David Peters raised to 22,000 in the hijack, Dan Sepiol moved all in for 78,000 in the small blind, and Peters called.
Dan Sepiol: 4♥4♠
David Peters: K♦9♣
Peters hit top pair on the K♣7♦4♦ flop, but Sepiol spiked a set as Peters was already drawing dead after the Q♠ turn. The river was the 8♠ and Sepiol doubled up.
Matt Affleck opened to 20,000 in middle position and Kitty Kuo three-bet in the small blind. Affleck four-bet jammed a stack of around 150,000 and Kuo quickly called.
Matt Affleck: K♠K♥
Kitty Kuo: A♣K♣
Affleck, who famously had aces cracked by Jonathan Duhamel deep in the 2010 WSOP Main Event, braced for disaster as the board ran out J♣4♥7♠7♥6♣ to earn him a double.
"You can tell who at this table has PTSD and who doesn't," commented Brock Wilson.
Byung Shin and Yang Li went to a flop of J♠10♦9♠ where Shin moved all in for 76,000 from the big blind. Li snap-called in early position.
Byung Shin: K♠5♠
Yang Li: J♦J♥
Li showed down top set, while Shin had straight and flush draws. The Q♠ turn completed both of his draws to give him the lead, while the river was the A♠ and Shin doubled up.
At the same time at another table, Justin Lapka and Victor Paredes built a pot of around 120,000 in a blind versus blind battle to the river on a board of J♣7♠5♦10♣4♦. Lapka then bet 190,000 from the big blind.
Paredes took a few minutes before calling with J♠4♠ for two pair, and Lapka flashed just ace-high as Paredes took down the big pot.
"Nitroll," Lapka joked with Paredes after the hand.
Heads-up on a flop of 9♠6♠K♥, Jon Swift bet 20,000 from the button and Jeff Madsen called in the big blind.
The turn was the A♣ and Swift bet another 30,000. Madsen again called and the 3♥ fell on the river. Swift then bet 100,000 and Madsen snap-called.
Swift turned over 9♣9♥ for a flopped set and Madsen mucked.
Christian De Leon was all in against the bigger-stacked Andre Abreu to his right.
Christian De Leon: A♦6♦
Andre Abreu: 3♠3♣
De Leon couldn't survive the flip as the board ran out K♠9♦J♥4♠K♣ to mark his elimination.
Justin Lapka raised to 20,000 in the hijack and Upeshka DeSilva three-bet to 50,000 in the cutoff. Andre Abreu then four-bet to 140,000 in the big blind, Lapka moved all in for 239,000, and Abreu called once DeSilva got out of the way.
Justin Lapka: A♥A♦
Andre Abreu: 10♦10♠
Lapka found himself in a dream scenario with all his chips in the middle holding two aces. The Q♠3♠8♦2♥Q♣ board was no help to Abreu and Lapka doubled up.
