Lance Pearce raised to 1,200 in early position and received four callers before Heidi Erickson moved all in for 25,000 in the big blind. Pearce reshoved, and the rest of the table got out of the way.
Heidi Erickson: A♠Q♠ 
Lance Pearce: A♥K♥
Erickson found herself dominated and at risk, and Pearce stayed in the lead through the 6♥7♠4♦2♣8♠ board to send her to the rail.

Chad Kyle raised to 1,500 in middle position before Darol Rodrock moved all in for 25,000 in the cutoff. Eldon Penn called for his last 6,000, while Kyle got out of the way.
Eldon Penn: K♠Q♥
Darol Rodrock: 5♠5♣
It didn't remain a race for long, as the A♥5♥7♣ flop gave Rodrock a set. The 2♥ turn gave Penn some hope with a flush draw, but he missed the 10♣ river and was sent to the rail.

Three players went to the turn on a board of 7♥K♥J♠K♦ when Daniel Lowery bet 2,500 from the button. Only Kyle Case called in the big blind.
Lowery bet another 3,000 on the 2♦ river, and Case called. "I think 3.2 would've got it," Lowery joked as he mucked 6♠5♠, while Case had Q♦10♦ and won the pot with queen-high.

A player under the gun raised to 1,200 before Steven Burke put in his last 3,000 from early position. Mark Lafata then reraised to 4,800 on the button, and Dale Whiteside and the under-the-gun player all called.
Lafata bet 13,000 on the Q♠2♦5♠ flop, and only Whiteside called. Both players then checked the A♣ turn, and Whiteside moved all in for 10,000 on the 7♥ river. Lafata took a minute before folding.
"I got the nuts," Whiteside said as he turned over 4♣3♣ for a straight. Burke mucked K♠Q♦ as he headed to the rail.
"That's why I called with that bullshit. I knew where you guys were at. I wanted to be on the other side," Whiteside said.

A player in middle position moved all in for 8,000, and David Caron put him at risk in early position.
All-In Player: K♠J♠
David Caron: A♦9♦
"Well, that's a good start, isn't it," the at-risk player said with a tinge of sarcasm as the A♠9♥3♦ flop gave Caron two pair. The turn was the 6♦, while Caron improved to the nut flush on the J♦ river to secure the knockout.
