Tim Faro raised to 4,200 from early position and was called by Christopher Csik on the button and Nan Li in the big blind.
The flop came 4♣6♦2♦ and Li checked to Faro, who bet out 8,000. Csik made the call, before Li raised all in for 33,800. He immediately stood up, and took out cash and said, "I'm ready to go re-buy". Faro thought about his decision for nearly a minute, before finding a fold. Csik however quickly made the call, to put Li at risk.
Nan Li: A♥4♥
Christopher Csik: K♦J♦
Li said "How am I ahead right now?" which he was with his pair of fours but would have to fade the nut flush draw of Csik. But the A♦ on the turn brought the flush in for Csik, and Li was walking away from the table when the river came the A♠ to give Li a full house, aces full of fours, and give him the double up.

: Blinds 800/1, 1 ante
Michael Lombardi raised to 3,500 from early position, before Peter Ju three-bet to 11,000. Then once it folded back to Lombardi, he four-bet to 28,000. Lu then five-bet all in, which was snap called by Lombardi.
Peter Ju: A♠A♥
Michael Lombardi: A♦A♣
Both players had pocket aces, and although it seemed likely to chop, the 7♥4♣2♣ flop did give Lombardi the free roll with running clubs. The 3♣ gave him the flush draw, and Ju would now need to fade a club to stay in the tournament. But the 8♠ hit the river, and the two players chopped the pot with their pocket aces.
