The flop came 8♠3♠4♣ and Barksdale bet enough to put his opponent all in. The button called off his last 23,000.
All-in Player: A♣K♦ 
Nick Barksdale: Q♠9♠
Barksdale was chasing a flush draw as the 3♣ fell on the turn, while the 2♠ river gave him his flush and earned him the knockout.

Melissa King raised to 4,000 in early position, Jon Maras moved all in for 22,300 on the button, and King called.
Jon Maras: A♠K♦
Melissa King: Q♦Q♥
It was a classic flip, and Maras took the lead on the 6♣9♦K♣ flop with top pair. The rest of the board ran out 6♥6♦, and Maras finished with a full house to double up.
The next hand, a player in the hijack bet 5,000 on a flop of 4♣K♥2♣ and Maras shoved again for 44,500 in the cutoff. Myrddin McHugh called in the big blind, while the hijack got out of the way.
Jon Maras: 4♥4♠
Myrddin McHugh: A♣7♣
Maras was ahead with a set, while McHugh was chasing a flush draw. The 8♠ turn was safe for Maras, while he again made a full house on the 8♥ river and doubled up once more.

A player on the button bet 11,000 on a flop of 9♣6♦7♥ and Melissa King called in the small blind. The big blind then moved all in for 18,800 and the button folded, but King snap-called to put him at risk.
All-In Player: 7♣5♣
Melissa King: 10♥10♣
King was ahead with her tens, and the 6♥ turn and 9♠ river were no help to the at-risk player as she secured the knockout.

Heads-up on a flop of A♣4♥9♣, a player in early position bet 6,000 before Charles "Chip" Welsh moved all in for 26,500 in middle position. His opponent tanked for more than three minutes until another player at the table called the clock.
The countdown had nearly reached zero before the early-position player called to put Welsh at risk.
Charles Welsh: A♥8♦
Opponent: K♦9♥
Welsh was ahead with his pair of aces, and the rest of the board ran out J♦5♠ to earn him the double up.

The button could only show 4♦4♠, while McHugh was ahead with J♣J♥. The Q♣ fell on the river, and McHugh secured the knockout.

A player under the gun raised to 2,500 before Robert Renaud three-bet to 7,000 in early position. Jeff Copeland called for his last 4,500 in middle position, while Nolan Garrett in the big blind and the under-the-gun player also called.
"This one is you, Jeff," tablemate Jesse Keel told Copeland as the flop came J♣10♦A♦. Renaud then bet 20,000 to chase away the rest of the table.
Jeff Copeland: J♥J♠
Robert Renaud: A♥K♣
Renaud had flopped top pair with a straight draw, but Copeland was ahead with his set. The board ran out 7♦5♣, and Copeland quadrupled up.
