Jamie Kerstetter opened to 1,100 preflop and was three-bet to 4,000 by Fernando Lopez, but then Kyna England put in the cold four-bet to 9,500. Kerstetter quickly got out of the way while Lopez made the call to see the flop of 2♥A♥10♥.
England then led for 3,500, which Lopez responded to by jamming all in and England snap-called to put herself at risk.
Lopez flipped over A♠K♦ for top pair, top-kicker, but he was almost dead to England's A♦A♣ for top set.
The turn K♥ gave Lopez some hope for a chop if a fifth heart hit, but the river was the Q♠ and England scored the big pot to catapult her up to 116,000.

After a 7,000 bet from Maurice Thomas and a call from his opponent on the turn 8♠10♥5♥7♣, the action was checked to Thomas again when the river fell the 7♣.
Thomas then moved all in for his remaining 10,200 and his opponent went into the tank.
After over two minutes, he finally splashed out the chips to put Thomas at risk, who then turned over K♦10♦ for trip tens. His opponent quickly tossed his cards into the muck before they could be tabled and Thomas was shipped the pot for a nice double.

On a multi-way flop of J♣9♣K♥, Armando Mesina led for 3,500 but then Jose Araya moved all in, followed by another shove by Michael Souza for less. The action got back to Mesina who thought about it for a good while before he decided to let it go while the other players tabled their cards.
Michael Souza: Q♣10♥
Jose Araya: J♦9♦
Souza was in in great shape to double with his flopped nut straight, but the runout of 3♥9♠ gave Araya full house on the river and he was sent to the rail in brutal fashion.

On a flop of J♥4♠K♠, the cutoff led for 700 but was then check-raised by David Leatherman in the big blind to 2,600.
Julie Peavey made the call behind him and the cutoff called as well to see the turn 2♥. The action then checked all around and the three players saw the [4d fall on the river.
Leatherman then fired again for 7,000, which resulted in a call from Peavey and a quick fold from the cutoff.
Leatherman then flipped over 7♠10♠ for a busted flush draw while Peavey held K♣Q♣ for kings and fours to take down the pot.
