Jeffrey Chang opened to 700 from under the gun, with Kevin McCrea calling on his left. Xiaobing Yu came along on the button, as did Mark Zimmerman in the small blind and Zachary Weimer in the big blind.
Both blinds checked to Chang on the 4♣A♣10♣ flop, who continued for 1,100. McCrea called before Yu raised to 5,000. Zimmerman and Weimer both folded, as did Chang.
McCrea then four-bet to 15,000, with Yu making the call. McCrea then moved all in for 16,000 on the 3♦ turn, and Yu stuck in the quick call.
Kevin McCrea: A♠K♣ 
Xiaobing Yu: Q♣6♣
McCrea turned over top pair with a club draw, while Yu had flopped a flush. The 6♦ river changed nothing, as McCrea was sent to the rail.

David Kinane opened to 800 in early position, and Daniel Schmertz three-bet to 2,000 in the cutoff. Action folded back around to Kinane, who stuck in the call.
Kinane checked the 10♣Q♦2♣ flop and called again once Schmertz continued for 2,000. Both players then checked the 7♠ turn, and the dealer completed the board with the 2♦ river.
Another pair of checks led to showdown, where Kinane tabled 4♠4♣. That was enough to take the pot, as Schmertz mucked his hand.

Five-way action to the 6♦3♣5♠ flop saw it check around to Michael Baldwin on the button, who bet 1,600. David Kinane called in the small blind, and Bruce Stone got out of the way from the big blind.
Yuzhou Wu came along in early position, with Abbas Hadizadeh also calling in the cutoff. More checks led back to Baldwin, who continued for 7,000. Kinane folded and Wu called before Hadizadeh raised to 21,000.
Baldwin was the only caller to the 7♥ river, where Hadizadeh announced all in. Baldwin called off his remaining stack, and the hands were turned up.
Michael Baldwin: K♣6♣
Abbas Hadizadeh: 3♠3♦
Baldwin's trip sixes were no good, as Hadizadeh tabled a full house to score the knockout.

Alexander Kartveli: Q♠Q♣
John Scrimenti: 7♠7♣
Jeffrey Gibson: A♠A♦
Scrimenti turned over his flopped set of sevens to take the lead, holding through the K♣ turn and 4♣ river. That gave Scrimenti the pot, leaving Gibson short while Kartveli was sent to the rail.
