Brian Seni made it 10,000 to go from under the gun before Christopher Savage shoved for his remaining 167,000 from the next seat over. Seni quickly made the call, putting Savage at risk as they went to a showdown.
Christopher Savage: A♥K♥
Brian Seni: Q♦Q♣
It was the classic battle between queens and ace-king, but Seni's queens would fall behind after the flop came J♥K♦2♠, giving Savage a pair of kings.
The K♠ turn improved Savage to trips, and the 7♥ river did not improve Seni as Savage would win the flip.

The button raised to 10,000 before Tristan Welch opted to jam from the big blind for 66,000. Welch was snap-called by his opponent on the button, putting him at risk.
Tristan Welch: 9♦9♣
Opponent: A♣A♦
Welch was in deep trouble as he ran into pocket aces and was left with only two outs as they took a flop.
The flop came Q♥K♥8♣ to keep the pocket aces well in control, as it appeared that Welch was heading for the exit.
The turn had other plans for Welch when the 9♠ peeled to improve Welch to a set of nines and flip the script against his opponent, who was now down to two outs with one card to go.
The J♦ completed the board as Welch escaped elimination against pocket aces.

A player limped from early position before David Cocheles shoved for his final 45,000 from the next seat over. Cocheles was called by the limper, to be at risk.
David Cocheles: A♥4♥
Opponent: 5♦5♠
Cocheles was in trouble as he was drawing to only an ace as an immediate out, but the flop took care of all his woes when it came 8♠3♥A♦, giving him a pair of aces and the lead.
The A♣ turn improved Cocheles to trip aces before the 2♠ river completed the board, awarding the pot to Cocheles.

A big hand broke out when the player from early position shoved for approximately 45,000. The player in the next seat over from middle position also shoved for his remaining 104,000 in response. My Nguyen woke up with a hand and called on the button to put both at risk, as he had both his opponents covered as they went to a runout.
Early Position: Q♣J♣
Middle Position: A♣K♣
My Nguyen: K♦K♥
Nguyen had his opponent crushed as he was looking to fade any ace or too much unwelcome paint to score the double knockout.
The flop was safe for Nguyen when it came 4♠3♦6♠, keeping his pocket kings in control.
Nguyen held on the 9♦ turn, and the J♦ river was not enough to crack his kings.

: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
The player under the gun limped before the player from the next seat over followed with a limp. Carl Guillot raised the price of admission when he bumped it to 14,000 from the cutoff. The under-the-gun player folded, but the player from early position made the call.
The 2♦2♥5♦ led to a bet of 11,000 from the player from early position. Guillot made the call.
The 3♠ turn led to a check from the early position player. Guillot was not in a checking mood, as he opted to bet 33,000 in response.
This led to a swift fold from his opponent, awarding the pot to Guillot.

Binh Hoang got this hand started with a limp from early position. Brian Seni made it 8,000 from the cutoff in response. Tristan Welch joined with a call from the big blind, and Hoang stayed in the hand with a call to create a three-handed pot preflop.
The 10♥3♣8♣ flop was checked by Hoang. Seni continued for 7,000, which led to a fold from Welch. Hoang, however, was still interested and made the call.
Hoang knuckled the 6♥ turn before Seni amped up the pressure with a bet of 35,000. Hoang confirmed the bet before he cut out his stack to take an inventory.
Hoang thought better of continuing in the hand as he folded to yield the pot to Seni.
