A player in early position opened the action with a raise to 1,600. He was called by Cornelius Brown in middle position, Joseph Derousse in the cutoff, and both the small blind and big blind.
The flop came 2♣7♠Q♣ and it was checked to Brown who bet out 3,800. Derousse then raised all in for his stack of 8,500, which got the blinds and early position player to fold, and Brown quickly made the call.
Joseph Derousse: Q♠10♣
Cornelius Brown: Q♦J♠
Brown had Derousse out piped, but when the board ran out 7♣ on the turn and 7♥ on the river, both players made a full house sevens full of queens, to chop the pot, saving Derousse's tournament life.

A player from middle position moved all in for his stack of 8,100, which was called by the player in the cutoff. Then once it folded to Jacob Foley in the small blind, he three-bet all in for 24,100. It folded back to the cutoff who made the call, putting both players at risk.
Middle Position: J♥J♣
Jacob Foley: A♥K♥
Cutoff: A♦J♠
The cutoff was in a world of hurt being dominated by both hands, but it was a flip between Foley and the middle position player. However, the board ran out A♠9♥10♣8♦9♣ and Foley improved to two pair, aces and nines to more than double up, and knock out a player.
