Mike Jukich got in his last 20,800 from middle position and was up against Clint Houck in the hijack.
Mike Jukich: A♣A♠ 
Clint Houck: Q♠J♠
Houck hit top pair on the J♥5♣3♠ flop, but he improved no further on the 4♦ turn or 9♠ river as Jukich took the pot with his aces to earn the double up.
Greg Raymer raised to 3,300 on the button before Justin Arnwine three-bet to 13,000 in the big blind. Raymer then slid forward a stack of blue 5,000 chips for a reraise and Arnwine instantly moved all in. "I put myself in a bad spot," Raymer said as he called.
Greg Raymer: 3♦3♥
Justin Arnwine: A♥Q♣
The two opponents were racing going to the flop, which came A♠K♣6♣ to give Arnwine the lead with top pair. The rest of the board ran out 10♣Q♦, and Arnwine improved to two pair to secure the pot.
The stacks were counted down, and Arnwine had Raymer barely covered with his last 70,000 to send him to the rail.
Four players went to a flop of 5♠8♣J♣ when Frank Timmerman bet 1,600 from the big blind. Melanie Hennigan then moved all in for 34,300 under the gun and Christopher Caruso called on the button, while Timmerman got out of the way.
Melanie Hennigan: A♦K♦
Christopher Caruso: A♣J♠
Caruso had hit top pair on the flop to overcome Hennigan's ace-high, and he improved to trips as the board ran out 2♠J♥ to send Hennigan to the rail.

In a battle between the blinds, Melanie Hennigan led out for 4,000 on the 10♣K♣2♠ flop and Merritt Kuhn called.
Hennigan bet another 6,000 on the 5♠ turn, and Kuhn again called. The river was the Q♥ and Hennigan bet 7,200. Kuhn called once more.
Hennigan showed 9♣2♣ for a pair of deuces, but Kuhn had K♦6♦ for two kings to win the pot.
Derrick Thomas bet 7,000 from under the gun on a board of 9♠10♣Q♣3♣ and Michael Mathias called in the small blind. Christopher Caruso, who had just fired another bullet, then raised to 25,000 in the big blind and only Thomas called.
The river was the J♠ and Caruso bet 16,000. Thomas then moved all in, and Caruso called for 32,000. Thomas showed K♥J♦ for a straight, but Caruso had 9♣5♣ for a flush to win the pot and double up.
With around 15,000 in the pot, Greg Raymer and Christopher Selami went to a flop of 7♣5♣10♣. Raymer then bet 7,000 from the hijack, Selami moved all in for 25,000 in middle position, and Raymer called.
Christopher Selami: K♣J♠
Greg Raymer: A♣K♦
The 2♣ turn gave both players a flush, but Raymer had the nut flush to leave Selami drawing dead. The river was the 6♦, and Selami was sent to the rail.
More than 30,000 was already in the middle as Bryan Reyes and Jeff Dolezal were heads-up on a board of 10♦8♥J♥3♣10♠. Reyes then moved all in from the big blind.
Dolezal took a minute before calling for 28,000 in the cutoff, and Reyes showed 3♣2♠ for tens and threes. Dolezal, though, had 8♣7♣ for tens and eights to win the big pot and double up.
"Now we're playing some poker," tablemate Morgan Petro said.
