Mike Hollander moved all in for 10,000 from under the gun, an opponent in early position also put in his last 16,000, while Nikhil Sunku in middle position had both players covered and at risk.
Mike Hollander: 9♣9♠
Early-Position: K♥Q♦
Nikhil Sunku: A♦Q♣
The flop came J♣9♦2♣, and Hollander hit a set to take a big lead in the pot. Sunku picked up a flush draw on the 3♣ turn, but he missed the 2♥ river as Hollander improved to a full house to triple up. Sunku took the side pot to send the early-position player to the rail.
Danny Clarkson and Roy Vazquez went to the turn on a board of 10♦K♥4♥8♦ when Vazquez bet 3,500 from middle position. Clarkson then raised to 11,000 in the small blind, and Vazquez called.
The river was the 2♠ and Clarkson bet 18,000. Vazquez called once more, and Clarkson showed 4♣4♦ for a set to win the pot.
Caleb Powell raised to 3,000 in the hijack before Matt Griffin three-bet to 11,000 in the cutoff. Sean Etheridge then moved all in on the button. "I want you to call," he told Powell, but he got out of the way. "You're going to call. You have too much in there," he said to Griffin, and he eventually put in his last 29,400.
Matt Griffin: A♦5♦
Sean Etheridge: Q♠7♠
Both players hit a pair on the A♣Q♦4♣ flop, while Griffin remained in the lead with his aces. The 5♠ turn improved him to two pair, while the 10♠ completed the board on the river as Griffin secured the double up.
Edward Mroczkowski bet 2,000 from middle position on a flop of K♦K♠10♣ and Mervan Kizgin called in early position.
Both players checked the 9♦ turn. Kizgin then led out for 3,500 on the 5♣ river, and Mroczkowski raised to 12,000. Kizgin quickly called and turned over K♣J♣ for trips, but Mroczkowski had flopped a full house with K♥10♥ to win the pot.
Brian Seibler limped in from early position before the button raised to 3,000. Drew Meiner called in the big blind, as did Seibler.
The flop came 9♦7♣2♣ and Meiner moved all in for 17,000. Seibler quickly folded as action went back on the button. "I feel like you have a flush draw," he said as he called to put Meiner at risk.
Drew Meiner: K♣9♣
Opponent: 6♣6♠
Meiner was ahead with top pair, and he ended up with a full house as the board ran out 7♦9♠ to secure the double up.

In a battle between the blinds, Kelley Slay bet 3,000 on a flop of A♣J♦Q♦ before Justin Bold raised to 7,000. Slay then moved all in for 30,000.
Bold tanked for a few minutes before folding, and Slay took the pot. "I kind of felt like Kelley wanted to rip it there," tablemate Andrew Difeo said.
David Greufe bet 3,000 from early position on a flop of 5♦K♥2♦ and Talesh Patel called in middle position.
Greufe checked the Q♠ turn, and Patel bet 7,500. Greufe called and checked again on the 4♣ river, and Patel bet another 10,000. Greufe then moved all in, and Patel took a minute before calling for his last 25,000.
Greufe turned over K♦4♦ for a rivered two pair, and Patel sent K♣J♠ into the muck as he made his way to the rail.
Four players went to a flop of 9♠9♣J♦ when Ron Germany bet 6,000 from middle position. Only Reece Crews called in the hijack.
Germany bet another 13,000 on the 4♠ turn, and Crews again called. Germany slowed down and checked the 7♦ river, and Crews bet 16,000. Germany quickly called and turned over K♣K♦, but Crews had flopped a full house with J♣J♥ to win the pot.
