Dan Burcham and Brad Williams got it all in preflop with Burcham at risk.
Dan Burcham: K♠Q♥ 
Brad Williams: A♥4♥
Burcham pulled ahead on the K♥9♦10♥ flop, pairing his king but would need to fade hearts or an ace to stay alive. He did exactly that when the board ran out 6♠, 4♠, earning him the big double up.
The next hand, Williams moved all in preflop and was called by Bryce Thompson who had the covering stack.
Brad Williams: A♥J♣
Bryce Thompson: K♥K♦
Thompson's kings proved to be best when the board ran out J♠3♦7♥3♠4♦, sending Williams to the rail.

Chance Howell raised to 800 in the cutoff, Ron Crane flatted in the small blind, and the player in the big blind came along for the ride.

The river brought the 8♥, completing thr backdoor flush draw and Crane led out for 2,200. Howell thought for a moment before flicking in the call only to see the bad news when Crane tabled A♥10♥ for the nut flush.
"Nice hand," said Howell as he flashed the K♦ before tossing his cards into the muck.

The turn landed the J♠ and Shapp check-called a bet of 5,000 from Mize, bringing the 5♠ river.
With four spades on the board, Shapp fired out a bet of 10,000 and Mize shook his head before making the call and throwing two 5,000 denomination chips towards Shapp.
