Ante: 1,200
Three players committed 3,500 preflop with two players in middle position along with Eric Bunch from the hijack.
Both the K♦J♥7♠ flop and the J♠ turn checked through.
On the A♠ river, the first player tossed out a bet of 5,000 which earned one fold. However, Bunch would then put out in a raise to 20,000 and his opponent called after a small tank. He got the bad news as Bunch tabled 6♠4♠ as he went runner-runner to make a flush and got extra value on the river as he becomes the largest stack in the room.

After three limpers, Jared Schoonover made it 8,500 to go from the small blind before Karen Rutherford jammed for 24,100 from the small blind. It folded back to Schoonover who reluctantly put in the call as the covering stack.
Karen Rutherford: Q♠Q♣ 
Jared Schoonover: K♦Q♥
Rutherford was in good shape to double on the 8♥4♠2♣ flop until the K♠ landed on the turn, giving Schoonover the lead. To rub salt in the wounds, another player admitted that they folded a queen, meaning that Rutherford was drawing dead to the 2♠ river on her way to the rail.

Three-ways to the turn with the board reading 8♠8♥5♣Q♥, John Smith bet 2,600 from early position before the button raised to 7,000. The big blind folded before Smith jammed for 21,500 and his opponent called.
John Smith: A♥A♣
Button: J♦8♦
Smith was outflopped by the trip eights of the button and had just two outs to survive. However, the dealer peeled the A♠ on the river to give Smith a full house and he doubled in dramatic fashion.

A player opened to 2,300 from early position before Jason Wiske jammed for 19,800 from the big blind, and his opponent snapped it off.
Jason Wiske: Q♥Q♣
Early Position: K♥K♣
Wiske was in rough shape with the dominated pair and had his suits covered. However, the Q♦ appeared in the window followed by the A♦7♣. Wiske held on through the 5♠5♣ runout as he filled up to flip the script and he doubled.

A player opened to 1,300 from middle position before Donald Hitt three-bet to 3,000 from the hijack. Michael Murphy called in the cutoff, as did the original opener.
On the 4♠4♥4♦ flop, it checked to Hitt who fired for 6,000 before Murphy clicked it to 12,000. The other opponent folded before Hitt jammed for 48,100, and Murphy begrudgingly called as the slightly covering stack after a small deliberation
Donald Hitt: A♠A♦
Michael Murphy: 8♦8♣
Hitt woke up with the ones as Murphy needed to find one of the remaining two snowmen to improve. However, the board ran out 6♥Q♣ and the aces held on to secure the full double for Hitt.
