David Chaput moved all in for 75,000 under the gun and Justin Arnwine announced a reraise to 387,500 in the cutoff. Torsten Boker was in the small blind and tanked for a minute before folding, leaving Arnwine and Chaput heads-up.
David Chaput: K♣Q♦ 
Justin Arnwine: A♣K♦
Both players hit top pair on the K♠9♣2♣ flop, while Arnwine remained in the lead with his ace-kicker. The turn, though, was the Q♥ to give Chaput two pair. The river was the 7♠ and Chaput doubled up.
Boker then said he also had ace-king. "I saved you 75K," Arnwine told him.

Ravi Repole moved all in for 38,000 from under the gun and Jeffrey Boyd called in the small blind.
Ravi Repole: A♥K♠
Jeffrey Boyd: A♠J♦
"Fair fight," Repole said.
"This isn't a fair fight," Boyd replied with a laugh.
"How many cards have you hit against me today?" Repole added, and sure enough Boyd spiked trips on the J♠3♥J♥ flop to take the lead. The A♣ turn improved him to a full house, but the A♦ river gave both players a full house to chop the pot.

Vernon Baker raised to 10,000 in middle position and was called by Justin Arnwine in the cutoff and Christopher Ayers on the button. Christopher Caruso then moved all in for 114,500 in the big blind, and only Baker called.
Christopher Caruso: A♣5♠
Vernon Baker: 9♣9♠
"We need an ace, or the wheel," Caruso yelled out heading to the flop. The A♥ fell right in the window, followed by A♦4♠ as Caruso hit trips. The rest of the board ran out 7♣7♠, and Caruso improved to a full house to secure the double up.

Kevin Grabel raised to 10,000 in the hijack and Diane Zimmerman called on the button. Matthew Riebel then moved all in for 84,000 in the small blind and Grabel folded, while Zimmerman called to put him at risk.
Matthew Riebel: 8♠8♦
Diane Zimmerman: J♠10♠
Riebel remained in the lead on the A♥3♥6♥ flop, then hit a set on the 8♥ turn to leave Zimmerman drawing only to a chop. The J♣ river arrived too late for Zimmerman, and she handed over the double up.

Joseph Crowley moved all in for 45,000 in the cutoff and Gabriel Leost called in the small blind.
Joseph Crowley: K♠J♠

Leost had Crowley dominated as the flop came 6♠8♣7♦. The A♠ turn gave Leost top pair and Crowley a flush draw, while Crowley missed the 10♦ river and was sent to the rail.

Donovan Bates bet 16,000 from the button on a flop of 5♥9♠J♣ and Jeffrey Boyd called in the big blind.
Both players checked the 6♣ turn. Boyd then led out for 30,000 on the 9♦ river, and Bates called.
Boyd turned over 8♥7♥ for a straight, and Bates mucked.
At another table, a big pot was brewing between Daniel Iachan and David Chaput as Iachan bet 73,000 from the button on a board of Q♣9♥2♥9♦K♠, leaving only a few chips behind. Chaput tanked for a few minutes before calling in the hijack, and Iachan turned over J♠9♠ for trips to win the pot.

Alan Gendelman moved all in for 55,500 from the big blind and Kevin Grabel called under the gun.
Alan Gendelman: 9♠9♣
Kevin Grabel: A♦J♠
Gendelman quickly fell behind as the A♥3♦4♥ flop gave Grabel top pair. The 5♣ turn left him a card away from elimination, but the 2♠ river put a straight on the board and he once again survived with a chop.
"What is going on?" Gendelman wondered as he sat back down.

Matthew Riebel raised to 8,000 in the cutoff and Michael Vital called on the button.
Riebel continued for 9,000 on the 10♦8♣3♥ flop and Vital called. Both players then checked the 2♣ turn.
Riebel led out with another 23,000 on the K♦ river, and Vital quickly called. "Good call. Nothing," Riebel said, and Vital turned over K♥Q♥ for a rivered pair of kings.
"You rivered me. I had ace-jack," Riebel told him.
