On a flop, George Clarke led out for 100,000 and Joe Huang moved all in for just under 400,000. Clarke, who didn't have much more than that, thought for a bit and then called.
Clarke:
Huang:

Just before the break, Cuong Van Nguyen opened for 45,000 from the cutoff only to have Ross Reichert three-bet all in from the small blind. Paul Hoch then called off for 124,000 from the big blind, Nguyen folded, and the cards were turned up.
Hoch:
Reichert:
Reichert was ahead, but not after the flop delivered Hoch a flush. Neither the turn nor river helped Reichert, and he sent over some chips.
