Travis Fickes bet 3,000 from the button on a flop of A♠3♣K♥ and Charlemagne Benjamin called in middle position.
Fickes bet another 5,500 on the 2♦ turn, but this time Benjamin raised to 18,100. Fickes then moved all in for 50,000, and Benjamin tanked for a few minutes before giving up his hand.
Walter Bravo raised to 2,500 on the button before Ryan Bunes three-bet to 6,000 in the small blind. Joe Rossi then four-bet to 21,000 in the big blind, and only Bunes called.
The flop came 9♣4♥4♠ and Rossi moved all in. Bunes snap-called for 46,000.
Ryan Bunes: 9♠9♦
Joe Rossi: K♥K♠
Bunes had flopped a full house to take the lead over Rossi's kings, and the board ran out 3♥8♠ to give him the massive double up.
Nick Rigby moved all in for 13,600 from the hijack, Eric Nathan splashed in a reraise from the small blind, and the rest of the table folded.
Nick Rigby: J♣8♦
Eric Nathan: Q♠Q♦
Nathan had woken up with queens to leave Rigby at risk, and the 7♦6♦2♣ flop offered no help to Rigby. He was left drawing dead after the 2♠ turn, while the K♣ river sealed the bustout for Nathan.

Marc Bronstein: K♥10♥
Nick Rigby: 7♣7♥

Matt Paul bet 5,000 from early position on a flop of 9♥5♦3♠ and was called by Niall Costigan in the hijack and Walter Bravo on the button.
