In a battle between the blinds, Daniel Monosson got in his last 32,900 and Terry Breeden put him at risk.
Daniel Monosson: K♠K♣ 
Terry Breeden: A♦Q♣
The 4♦2♠3♣ flop gave Breeden additional outs with a straight draw, but Monosson's kings held on through the 3♥ turn and 9♠ river to earn the double up.
With around 50,000 already in the pot on a board of 7♦A♦8♦4♠, Kyle Dishongh bet 31,000 from the big blind and Nicholas Verderamo moved all in from middle position. Dishongh quickly called for his last 60,000 and turned over 10♦2♦ for a flopped flush, but Verderamo had a higher flush with K♦Q♦.
The river was the J♠, and Verderamo took the big pot to send Dishongh to the rail.
Heads-up on a board of A♥4♦Q♣5♣, Alex Grace bet 12,000 from the big blind and an opponent called in middle position.
The river was the 7♠ and Grace bet 26,200. His opponent again called with A♣Q♥ for two pair, but Grace showed 3♠2♣ for a straight to win the pot.
Michael Stonehill raised to 4,000 under the gun, a player in middle position three-bet to 11,000, and Stonehill called.
The flop came A♥K♠5♠ and the middle-position player bet 13,000. Stonehill then moved all in, and his opponent snap-called.
All-In Player: A♣K♥
Michael Stonehill: A♠4♠
The at-risk player showed top two pair, while Stonehill had a pair and flush draw. The 10♠ turn gave him his flush, and his opponent couldn't fill up on the 6♣ river as Stonehill secured the pot.
The stacks were counted down, and Stonehill's remaining 57,000 had his opponent barely covered to earn him the knockout.
Level: 9
Blinds: 1,000/1,500
Ante: 1,500
There was already around 40,000 in the middle as Casey Hatmaker and Daniel Lim went to a flop of 2♠9♣10♥. Hatmaker then bet 17,000 from middle position, and Lim moved all in. Hatmaker snap-called for 65,100.
Casey Hatmaker: K♣K♥
Daniel Lim: J♠J♦
Lim showed two jacks, but he was crushed by Hatmaker's kings. The board ran out 8♦8♠, and Hatmaker earned the double up.
Heads-up on a board of Q♣4♦2♣4♣, Jordan Williamson bet 7,000 from under the gun and Fred Jafarzadeh called in the small blind.
The river was the 10♦ and Williamson bet 25,000. Jafarzadeh then moved all in. Williamson had around 25,000 behind and tanked for a few minutes before folding.
Daniel Iachan bet 11,000 from the big blind on a flop of 4♣4♦2♠ and an opponent under the gun called.
Both players checked the 6♦ turn. Iachan then moved all in on the 9♦ river, and his opponent, who had around 50,000 behind, tanked for a minute before folding.
Joan Bousman quickly reentered and took her new seat beside Tyson Warren. "Things just got more dangerous," Warren said.
"You mean things just got more fun," Bousman replied.
Fred Jafarzadeh three-bet to 8,000 in the small blind and was called by a player in the big blind, as well as Kyle Dishongh in middle position and Joan Bousman in the hijack.
Jafarzadeh checked the A♠Q♣9♥ flop, and the big blind bet 6,500. Bousman called, as did Jafarzadeh, while Dishongh got out of the way.
Action checked to Bousman on the 7♦ turn, and she moved all in for 15,100. Jafarzadeh quickly called. "I don't know how to play this hand," the big blind said as he flung ace-jack into the muck.
Bousman also turned over A♥J♦, but Jafarzadeh had her out-kicked with A♣K♥. "Jack! jack! Jack!" she chanted, but she missed the 3♠ river and was sent to the rail.
"Blockers don't exist, guys," the dealer said after the hand.
"Not in Hold'em. In PLO they do," Dishongh added.
