Calvin Lee limped the small blind and Stephen Song checked from the big blind. They both checked the J♠8♠3♦ flop before Lee bet the K♣ turn for 5,000, Song called. Lee also bet the 2♦ river for 15,000 and Song declared "okay, just call" before tossing in the chips to get shown K♦7♥ for top pair.
Song had that beat with the J♦2♥ for rivered two pair to climb above three and a half starting stacks.

Quan Zhou opened to 5,000 on the button and was three-bet to 17,000 by Yisha Chen in the small blind. Zhou responded with a four-bet to 45,000 and, undeterred, Chen shoved for enough to put Zhou all in for his last 100,000 behind.
Zhou didn't like it and used up a time bank before eventually committing his stack into the middle.
Quan Zhou: 9♦9♣
Yisha Chen: K♠K♥
Zhou found himself in rough shape againast Chen's cowboys, and the 4♦2♠A♦8♥10♣ runout changed nothing — sending Zhou to the rail to reenter if he should choose.

Lei Yu raised to 3,500 in the cutoff and Quan Zhou called on the button. Yisha Chen three-bet to 15,000 in the small blind, forcing a fold from Yu and earning a call from Zhou.
On the 8♠6♠4♥ flop, Chen opted to check and Zhou bet 27,000 for Chen to call. That led them to the 10♦ turn on which Chen checked again. Zhou moved all-in for 60,500 and Chen folded after using one of her time bank extensions.

Gary Thompson raised to 4,000 with the A♠9♠ and Taylor Black three-bet to 14,000 with the Q♠Q♦. Nevan Chang four-bet to 39,000 with 9♦9♣ in the small blind and Black was the only caller.
After the 7♠2♥2♠ flop, Chang used a large portion of his time bank before leading for 22,000 and Black just flat-called after a few seconds of consideration. That brought them to the 6♦ on the turn and Chang used one time bank before slowing down and checking, Black checked it back.
The Q♥ river improved Black to queens full of deuces and Chang checked to Black, who bet 30,000 into a pot of 129,000. Chang needed another time bank to make up his mind and paid it off to get shown the bad news.

Action folded around to the blinds, where Stephen Song called from the small blind and Christopher Park checked his option in the big blind.
Park proceeded to call bets from Song on every street. First for 1,500 on the 3♣8♥K♠ flop, then for 6,500 on the 6♦ turn, and finally for 30,000 on the Q♣ river.
Song tabled K♦9♣ for a pair of kings and Park sent his hand into the muck.
Meanwhile, Patrik Demus hopped into the field.

Stephen Song raised to 3,000 and Christopher Park called on the button, as did Quan Zhou in the big blind. They checked all the way to the J♣7♠2♣4♠A♠ river on which Park bet 6,000 to win the pot uncontested.
Calvin Lee then opened to 3,500 and Lei Yu three-bet to 13,500 for Lee to call. On the 6♥6♦3♠ flop, Lee check-called a first barrel and then checked the 5♠ on the turn. Yu bumped up his sizing to 41,500 and Lee let go.
