Barry Fleischman opened to 600 from under the gun and was three-bet to 1,200 by a player in middle position. Action folded back around to Fleischman who made the call to see a flop heads-up.
Both players checked through the 
flop to the 
turn at which point Fleischman checked for a second time. His opponent fired a delayed continuation of 2,600 which Fleischman called.
The 
river saw Fleischman take over the betting lead, pushing 7,000 into the middle. The middle position player quickly called and tabled 
. It was no good, however, as Fleischman flipped over 
for the ace-high flush to scoop a sizable pot early in the day.

Marshall Roof, who recently finished as runner-up in Event #1: $400 Mystery Bounty, limped from late position and was called by Mohammed-Ali Tadjer on the button as well as the small blind with the big blind checking their option.
The blinds checked to Roof on a flop of 
and he continued for 1,100. That forced folds from Tadjer and the small blind but the big blind decided to call.
Both players checked through the 
turn to the river at which point the big blind checked for a third time. Roof, not prepared to go to showdown, fired off 2,200 and was promptly called. 'You're good' Roof said as he turned over 
and that was indeed the case for the big blind player, who held 
.

Picking up the action on the river, a player in middle position checked to Jacob Mitich in late position with the board reading 
. Mitich responded by moving all in for around 60,000 into a pot of around 30,000. His opponent went deep into the tank, pondering his decision for several minutes. Eventually another player at the table called the clock and without much further delay, the middle position player folded.
Mitich turned over 
for the bluff while the middle position player revealed he had folded the winner in the form of pockets tens.
