Jamar Adams and Jack Do went to the turn on a board of Q♠2♠7♣9♦ when Adams bet 34,000 from the hijack. Do then raised to 89,000 in the big blind.
Adams then moved all in for 150,000, and Do snap-called. He turned over 7♥7♠ for a set, and Adams found himself already drawing dead holding A♥9♣. The river was the 5♥ and Adams was sent to the rail.
Charlene Lueth moved all in for 85,000 from middle position and Kenneth Coy put her at risk in early position.
Charlene Lueth: A♠Q♠ 
Kenneth Coy: K♣K♦
Coy spiked top set on the 8♦4♠K♠ flop, while Lueth picked up a flush draw. The 8♣ turn improved Coy to a full house, and the A♣ river arrived too late to save Lueth as she was sent to the rail.
Level: 15
Blinds: 4,000/8,000
Ante: 8,000
Ben McCoy moved all in for 56,000 from under the gun and Nate Steuer called on the button.
Ben McCoy: A♥Q♣
Nate Steuer: K♠J♥
Steuer hit top pair on the K♣4♥6♥ flop, and McCoy was already up from his seat prepared to make his exit. The turn, though, was the A♦. "Not so fast," tablemate Zilin Wang told him.
His hopes proved short-lived, however, as Steuer spiked the J♠ on the river to make two pair and send McCoy to the rail.
Six players went to a flop of 10♠9♥5♦ where Mark Fink bet 27,000 from the cutoff. Only Bryan Richards called on the button.
The turn was the 4♥ and Fink bet another 52,000. Richards then moved all in for 100,000, and Fink snap-called.
Richards showed Q♥10♦ for top pair, but Fink had flopped a set with 9♣9♠. The river was the 3♣ and Fink scored the knockout.
