Jeremy Ausmus was all in for 184,500, with Brandon Wilson putting him at risk.
Jeremy Ausmus: 9♥9♦
Brandon Wilson: K♣Q♣
It was a race for Ausmus's tournament life, and he stayed ahead after the 5♣6♠7♥ flop. But the K♦ hit the turn to give Wilson the lead. Although, it was just for a moment, as the river brought the 8♣ to give Ausmus a straight and the double up.

Action was picked up with Tony Gregg all in for 188,000, Chino Rheem all in for 128,000, and Joey Weissman putting both players at risk.
Chino Rheem: A♦A♣
Tony Gregg: K♦K♣
Joey Weissman: A♥J♣
It was the ultimate cooler for Gregg, and Weissman drawing slim to the monster pocket pairs. The 6♠10♦8♠ flop kept Rheem well in front, but the 9♣ on the turn gave Weissman an open-ended straight draw as outs. But the river brought the J♥, kept Rheem in front for the massive main pot, and Gregg stays alive with a much smaller side pot.

Brandon Wilson opened from under the gun, and it folded to the small blind William Draper, who three-bet to 31,000. Then Joey Weissman in the big blind, four-bet to 70,000. Wilson quickly got out the way, and Draper jammed for his stack of 89,000, which Weissman quickly called.
William Draper: K♠K♣
Joey Weissman: A♦K♥
It was a cooler for the chip leader Weissman and he couldn't find any more magic when the board ran out J♠10♠10♥3♣3♥ to give Draper the double up.

Joey Weissman opened from the hijack to 10,000, and it folded to Jeremy Becker on the button, and the big blind Nick Seward said, "You going to get in there Becker?" and Becker responded with, "you know what I am", and three-bet all in for roughly 83,000.
It then folded to Seward, who looked at his hand then four-bet all in, and the covering stack Weissman snap-called to put both players at risk.
Jeremy Becker: 10♦9♦
Nick Seward: A♠K♥
Joey Weissman: Q♠Q♦
It was a massive three-way all in, and Weisman's queens left both Becker and Seward drawing dead on the turn, once the board ran out Q♣5♥3♣5♦9♣ to improve him to a full house, score the double knockout and take a commanding chip lead.

In a limped between the small blind Joao Simao and the big blind Sean Winter, Simao bet out 5,000 on a 5♥K♥K♠ flop, which Winter raised to 13,500.
Simao called the raise, to see the 5♣ on the turn, and he checked to Winter again and then folded to another bet of 20,500 to give the pot to Winter.

Jeremy Becker moved all in for his stack of 25,000 form early position, and it folded to the big blind Joey Weissman, who gave it some thought.
Becker said "let me sweat with you" as Becker peaked over, and said "I think you should call".
After a few more moments, Weissman owed a time extension and said, "Oh no, I used an extension?".
Becker finally said, "I promise I don't have a queen or eight in my hand", and that seemed enough to convince Weissman, who made the call.
Jeremy Becker: 4♦4♣
Joey Weissman: Q♣8♣
Becker was honest, and it was a flip for his tournament life, and his pocket fours would hold strong on the A♦5♥7♥2♠K♣ runout to double up.

Action was picked up on the flop with the board showing 8♣9♣10♦ and Michael Berk all-in for roughly 110,000, and Joey Weissman putting him at risk.
Michael Berk: A♠A♦
Joey Weissman: J♣10♠
Berk was still ahead with his pocket aces, but only for the moment as the Q♣ brought in the straight for Weissman, and Berk was heading to the exits as the 6♦ completed the board.
