Around 20,000 was already in the middle as Ron Amos and an opponent went heads-up to a flop of 9♣3♠10♥. Amos then moved all in for 23,000 in the cutoff, and his opponent tanked for several minutes before calling on the button.
Ron Amos: A♣A♦ 
Opponent: Q♣Q♦
"This is the second time I've run queens into aces," the button lamented as the board ran out 9♠2♣ to secure Amos the double up.
Albert Kong bet 6,500 from middle position on a flop of 8♥7♦4♦ and Toran Tate called under the gun.
Both players checked the J♣ turn. Tate then bet 12,000 on the K♥ river, and Kong called. Tate showed 7♥7♠ for a set, but Kong had a higher set with 8♣8♦ to win the pot.
"No Casino Royale today," Tate said.
A player in the cutoff bet 2,000 on a flop of Q♥9♥8♠ and Robert Noce called in the hijack.
The turn was the 6♠ and Noce led out for 4,000. His opponent called, and the 5♠ fell on the river. Noce then moved all in for 12,000, and his opponent tanked for a minute before calling.
Noce turned over K♠Q♠ for a flush, and his opponent flung A♣Q♣ into the muck before handing over the double up.

A player in the big blind three-bet to 7,000 and Bradley Young called in middle position, as did another opponent in the cutoff.
All three players checked the J♥6♠5♠ flop. The big blind then bet 8,000 on the Q♠ turn, and only Young called.
The big blind slowed down and checked the 6♥ river, and Young bet 10,000. His opponent quickly folded, and Young took the pot.
A player in the hijack raised to 700 and the button then three-bet to 2,200. Dustin Lilly called in the small blind, as did the hijack.
All three players checked to the river on a board of 8♦8♣5♠4♦9♣. The hijack then bet 4,200, and only Lilly called.
"You're good," the hijack told him as he mucked, and Lilly showed A♦Q♣ to win the pot with ace-high.
Four players went to a flop of 7♣3♣7♦ when Gary Davis bet 2,500 from middle position. Scott Karas then raised to 7,000 in the hijack, and only Davis called.
Karas bet another 5,000 on the 2♠ turn, and Davis called. The river was the 4♣ and Karas bet 5,000. Davis called once more, and Karas turned over Q♣Q♥. Davis, though, had A♣J♣ for a rivered flush to win the pot.
On the first hand of the day, the big blind led out for 1,100 on a flop of 4♥5♥A♥ and another opponent under the gun raised to 4,500. Louis Dochwat called in the cutoff, while the big blind got out of the way.
The turn was the 10♣ and the under-the-gun player bet 11,000. Dochwat then moved all in. "That's not good," his opponent said, but he eventually called.
Dochwat turned over K♥2♥ for the nut flush, and his opponent could only show 9♥7♥. The river was the 5♦, and Dochwat earned the knockout.
