Casey Hatmaker bet 3,000 from middle position on a flop of 8♦J♠2♠ and Diane Zimmerman called in the big blind.
Both players checked the K♥ turn. Zimmerman then led out for 12,000 on the 7♦ river, and Hatmaker called.
Zimmerman showed K♦Q♠ for a pair of kings, and Hatmaker mucked.
Around 50,000 was already in the middle as Eugene Curzio and Daniel Iachan went heads-up to a 8♣2♦3♥ flop. Curzio then bet 16,000 from the small blind, and Iachan called in early position.
Both players checked the 3♦ turn. Curzio then moved all in for 50,000 on the 5♦ river, and Iachan took only a few seconds before folding.
Matthew Riebel raised to 4,500 in middle position and Arlie Shaban called in the hijack. Gabriel Leost then moved all in for 35,500 on the button and Riebel folded, while Shaban called to put Leost at risk.
Gabriel Leost: J♣9♣ 
Arlie Shaban: 5♥5♦
"Fair fight," Shaban said heading to the flop, which came A♣8♥6♥ to keep him in the lead. The turn, though, was the 9♠ and Leost hit a pair to move in front. The river was the 2♦, and Leost doubled up.
Joseph Lebrun moved all in for 12,500 in early position and Christopher Grove called in middle position. Kevin Grabel gave it some thought in the big blind, but he eventually folded.
Joseph Lebrun: 7♠6♠
Christopher Grove: A♦Q♠
Grove hit top pair on the A♣2♣8♠ flop, and Lebrun was left drawing dead after the K♥ turn. The river was the Q♦, and Grove earned the knockout.
"I'm so happy I didn't call," Grabel said.
Level: 11
Blinds: 1,000/2,000
Ante: 2,000
James Hartigan moved all in for his last 10,000 in the big blind and Jiyun Qu called in the cutoff.
James Hartigan: A♥K♥
Jiyun Qu: 7♦7♣
The board ran out 5♠4♥10♣6♠Q♥, and Qu's sevens remained in the lead to send Hartigan to the rail.
"See you tomorrow," Hartigan told his tablemates.
"I hope not. Maybe Sunday," Aaron Pinson replied.
John Palermino raised to 3,000 in early position and Joseph Lebrun three-bet to 10,000 in middle position. Christopher Caruso then moved all in from the small blind and Palermino called for 55,000, while Lebrun got out of the way.
John Palermino: K♦K♣
Christopher Caruso: A♦Q♠
Palermino stood up from his seat as the Q♦6♦8♣6♠ board kept him in the lead with his kings. The river, though, brought the A♥, and Palermino leaned back and looked up at the ceiling in disbelief as Caruso took the pot to send him to the rail.
James Hartigan bet 2,000 from under the gun on a flop of 5♠Q♣4♠ and Dominic Lake raised to 8,000 in the big blind. Hartigan called, and the 7♦ fell on the turn.
Lake checked over to Hartigan, who bet 11,000. Lake called to see the 9♦ river, where he moved all in for 46,000. Hartigan called.
"I pulled a Chris Grove on you," Lake said, pointing across at their fellow tablemate, as he turned over 9♥9♠ for a rivered set. Hartigan mucked K♥Q♦ before handing over the double up.
