Ed Miller limped in from middle position and Bryce Yockey raised to 18,000 on the button. Kristen Foxen three-bet to 46,500 in the big blind and Miller quickly slid out a bet of 100,000, which brought a lively reaction from dealer Clyde Gaskins.
"Woah, they're playin' today!" said Gaskins.
Foxen folded and Miller showed K♠K♥ as Foxen showed a big hand as well with A♠K♣.
Action was picked up on the river with the board showing 5♠Q♥A♠9♣J♦ and roughly 45,000 in the pot.
Sean Winter was facing a bet of 30,000 from Michael Mizrachi. After taking his time, Winter made the call. Mizrachi tabled A♦8♦ for top pair, but Winter had the winner with A♣5♣ to take the pot with his two pair.
Chad Eveslage opened with a raise to 6,000 from the cutoff, which was called by Clemen Deng on the button, and the big blind Joao Simao.
The flop came 9♣3♠4♥ and it was checked to Deng, who bet out 6,000. Simao quickly folded, and Eveslage made the call.
After the 8♣ on the turn, Eveslage check-called a bet of 15,000 from Deng.
The river was the 10♠ and both players checked to showdown. Eveslage tabled K♣Q♣ for a missed flush draw and king high, and Deng took the pot once he tabled A♠9♠ with his pair of nines.

Daniel Negreanu had just four-bet to win a decent pot preflop. The next hand, he opened on the button and Jeremy Becker defended in the big blind.
Becker checked on the flop of K♦10♣K♣ and Negreanu bet 3,000. Becker called. Becker check-called again on the 3♦ turn as Negreanu sized up to 12,000.
Becker checked once more on the 3♠ river and Negreanu bet 21,000. Becker called. Negreanu showed K♠5♠ for kings full as Becker showed 10♥3♥ to lose the pot with a worse full house.
Kristen Foxen raised to 4,000 from under the gun and was called by Ed Miller in the cutoff. It then folded to Masato Yokosawa in the small blind, who three-bet to 20,000. After the big blind folded, Foxen responded with a four-bet to 45,000. Miller folded, before Yokosawa five-bet all in for his stack of 154,500. Foxen took a moment before making the call to put Yokosawa at risk.
Masato Yokosawa: A♣K♠
Kristen Foxen: Q♥Q♦
It was a classic race with Foxen in front with her pocket queens. She would then stay in front once the board ran out 9♣J♦J♥10♣5♣ to give her the pot and eliminate Yokosawa.
In a heads-up pot on a board of 5♥7♦K♥, Jeremy Ausmus checked from the small blind and Daniel VanDyke bet 16,000 from the cutoff.
Ausmus check-raised all in with a stack of around 70,000 and VanDyke laid it down.
"I don't think I'm supposed to fold this," he said before doing so.
