Zachary Moger raised to 12,000 in the cutoff and Brian Nieboer defended in the big blind.
On the 4♦9♥10♦ flop, Nieboer led out for 12,000 and Moger called, bringing the 7♥ turn. Nieboer bet 12,000 again and Moger called once more.
The river fell the Q♥ and Nieboer bet 25,000, prompting Moger to go into the tank. Eventually the clock was called, resulting in Moger giving up his hand.
Nieboer showed Q♠4♥ for two pair, queens and fours, as the pot was pushed his way.
Matthew Trancucci raised to 18,000 in the cutoff and Brian Nieboer flatted on the button.
The duo checked it down to the river on a board of 9♠9♣6♠J♠2♣, and Nieboer annoucned that he had a jack, turning over Q♥J♥ to claim the small pot.
Gregory Corley got it all in preflop for about 80,000 from under the gun against Christopher Arterberry in the cutoff, who covered.

Action picked up on the flop of Q♠10♣5♦ where the under-the-gun Roy Flynn got his remaining stack of about 85,000 in against John Blansett in early position, who covered.
Roy Flynn: 10♦9♦
John Blansett: A♦10♥
Flynn had some backdoor possibilities, but couldn't find any help on the Q♥ turn or 4♥ river.

Ryan Wallace raised to 20,000 in middle position and Brian Nieboer three-bet jammed for 91,000 in the cutoff to put himself at risk.
After counting out his stack, Wallace thought for a moment before reluctantly tossing his cards into the muck.
Christopher Arterberry was in late position and ended up getting it all in preflop for 152,000 against Lynn Samples in middle position, who covered.
Christopher Arterberry: A♦K♥
Lynn Samples: K♠K♦

Christian Gehman open-shoved for 42,000 in the hijack and was called by Julian Desmond in the small blind, who covered.
Christian Gehman: A♥10♠
Julian Desmond: A♣6♣
Gehman was in great shape to double up until Desmond spiked a six on the 2♦2♣6♥ flop. The Q♣ turn and K♣ river offered no help to Gehman, and he was sent packing.
