With two limpers in front of him, Thad McNulty over-limped from middle position before James Nighbert raised from the button to 1,600. Both of the original limpers called before McNulty back-jammed for around 25,000. Nighbert called all-in for 14,400, while the others folded.
James Nighbert: K♥K♦
Thad McNulty: 4♠4♥
McNulty was in rough shape with the dominated pair until the 4♦3♦3♣ vaulted him into the lead with a full house. Nighbert could not find the two-outer on the 9♠9♣ runout as he hit the exit in brutal fashion.

A player in middle position opened before George Wolfe three-bet to 5,300 from the cutoff. Henry Hull cold-called on the button while the original raiser got out of the way.
On the A♣8♥7♣ flop, Wolfe continued for 5,000 and Hull quickly called.
The turn brought the 2♦. Wolfe snap-jammed for his remaining 11,600 and Hull put in the call as the covering stack.
George Wolfe: A♠K♣
Henry Hull: 6♦5♦
Wolfe was better than a 4-1 favorite to double and he faded Hull's outs on the 8♠ river to secure the double.

Despite not being at risk, Campos stood up from his chair, put his hat and jacket on, and began to leave the tournament area, all while being a massive favorite.
The board ran out 9♠6♠5♦3♣9♦ as Campos held to eliminate his opponent.
