With around 50,000 in the pot on a board of K♥Q♥2♠3♠, Jesse Yaginuma moved all in for 26,000 on the button and Ryan Hunsinger snap-called from under the gun.
Yaginuma showed A♣J♥ for a straight draw, but Hunsinger had him drawing thin with K♠Q♠ for top two pair and a flush draw. The river J♠ gave Hunsinger his flush, and Yaginuma was sent to the rail.

Michael Rossitto opened to 3,500 from under the gun and Terrance Reid three-bet to 8,500 in middle position. Ryan Wolfson four-bet shoved all in for 20,500 in the small blind which prompted a quick fold from Rossitto and a quick call from Reid.
Ryan Wolfson: A♠Q♠
Terrance Reid: A♦K♣
The flop came 9♥8♦4♦ and Wolfson rose from his seat with just a few outs left in the deck. The 2♠ hit the turn and Wolfson wished Reid "good luck" before the Q♦ spiked the river to give Wolfson the best hand a double up.
"I did not accept his good luck," Reid pointed out after taking a hit to his stack.

Mir Gaskari raised to 3,000 in early position and Steven Merwin called in the small blind. Frederic Normand then moved all in for 27,000 in the big blind, Gaskari reshoved, and Merwin got out of the way.
Frederic Normand: A♣Q♥
Mir Gaskari: A♦K♥
Gaskari had Normand dominated, and the 2♦4♦3♠7♣9♣ board kept him in the lead to send Normand, who won the $1,100 PLO event yesterday then finished second in the $5,200 PLO later in the day, to the rail.

It only took a couple of preflop raises for David "ODB" Baker and Tamas Lendvai to get all of their chips in the middle with Lendvai being the player at risk for around 45,000.
Tamas Lendvai: 10♠10♣
David "ODB" Baker: A♥A♦
Baker woke up with the premium starting hand in hold'em and Lendvai was looking to hit one of his two outs in the deck. The board ran out J♠J♣5♣K♠8♣ and Baker's pocket aces held up for the knockout.

Dirk Perdrix raised it up in early position and Martin Zamani piled in roughly a starting stack from the small blind after just registering at the start of the day. Perdix quickly called and the cards were on their backs.
Martin Zamani: A♦5♦
Dirk Perdrix: A♣K♠
The flop came 10♣9♦3♣ which provided no immediate help for Zamani. The 3♥ on the turn brought some chop outs but the A♠ on the river secured the pot for Perdrix.
Zamani collected a small consolation of $1 bills from a couple of other late entries in a side bet, in the hopes that it could be the "ultimate spin up".
