Samuel Panzica opened to 100,000 from the cutoff. JC Tran defended his big blind and sent them to a flop of 8♥6♠4♥.
Tran checked before Panzica continued for 110,000. Tran opted to check-raise to 375,000. Panzica three-bet all-in for 1,370,000. Tran put out a chunk of chips for the call to put Panzica at risk in a pot that blew up on the flop.
Samuel Panzica: 10♣10♠
JC Tran: 8♦7♠
Panzica held the lead, but Tran had plenty of outs to crack his tens with a gutshot straight draw and his outs to trips or a two-pair.
Tran would get there on the 7♦ turn to gain two pair, but Panzica was not down and out as he gained a gutshot and still had the ten working for him.
Panzica would not find it on the 3♠ river as Tran busted Panzica to cross over three million in chips.
Ronald Matsuura began the bidding with an open to 110,000 from the cutoff. Lyle Wong wanted to play for more and three-bet to 275,000 on the button.
Matsuura made the call, which brought the flop of 6♠A♥3♠ before he checked.
Wong continued for 125,000, and that was enough as Matsuura waved the white flag and yielded the pot to Wong.
Randy Gil opened to 125,000 on the button to start the action. Samuel Panzica countered with an all-in for 785,000 from the big blind. Gil went into the tank before he made the call to put Panzica at risk.
Samuel Panzica: A♦K♣
Randy Gil: A♣J♣
Panzica enjoyed a healthy lead preflop, and the flop only lengthened that lead when it came 2♥K♦A♠ to keep Panzica well ahead.
The Q♥ was a scare card for Panzica as Gil turned some equity to a straight.
That did not materialize on the 9♠ river as Panzica doubled to leave Gil with a short stack.

Amir Turkzadeh shoved for his final 200,000 from middle position. This led to an all-in from Franklin Chavez out of the small blind to isolate. The big blind folded as Turkzadeh was at risk as they went to a showdown.
Amir Turkzadeh: A♦Q♠
Franklin Chavez: 8♥8♣
Turkzadeh hit plenty more outs to work with on the 10♦3♦6♦ flop as Chavez was clinging to his lead.
The 8♠ turn eliminated the overcards for Turkzadeh as Chavez hit a set to bolster his position.
It was a good thing for Chavez that he hit his eight because the A♥ came on the river to give Turkzadeh an inferior pair of aces to eliminate him from contention.
Rutherford Hayes opened to 80,000 from under the gun. Victor Paredes chose to go all-in from the cutoff, and Hayes called off his stack of 735,000 to be at risk.
Rutherford Hayes: J♠J♦
Victor Paredes: A♦K♥
Hayes needed to fade the overcards, but the flop made him worry a lot less about that possibility when it came J♣5♣9♥ to give him top set.
Paredes would backdoor a straight possibility when the Q♥ came on the turn, but it was not meant to be as the 4♦ completed the board to award Hayes the pot and leave Paredes running on fumes.
