Xiang Lin then moved his remaining 12,000 forward and Stefan made the call.
Xiang Lin: 
Sarah Stefan: 
Unfortunately for Stefan the turn card that gave her kings-up also gave Lin Broadway.
AJ Kelsall was all in for his last 13,000 or so with 
and up against a player holding 
. After a flop that didn't improve him, Kelsall nailed the 
on the turn. Unfortunately for him, the on the river sent him to the rail.
With 
on the felt, Nic Ditrapani was all in from the button for 44,300. That was about the size of the pot, and his opponent in the hijack seemed perplexed, repeatedly throwing his hands in the air in indecision. Finally, the player mucked and Ditrapani didn't show.

Blinds: 400/800
Ante: 800
With 3,800 in the pot and a flop of

Action then went check-check on the 
turn before the small blind checked for the third time on the 
river.
Stefan opted to bet, this time 3,100, and her opponent called.
Stefan tabled the for a pair of aces and it was good as her opponent sent his cards to the muck.
There was a raise from middle position to 1,200, a call from Daniel Jones in late position and Nguyen Nguyen also made the call from his small blind.
From her big blind Camille Brown then re-raised it to 6,600 which got folds from the original raiser and Jones, but the short-stacked Nguyen decided to just go with it and shipped his remaining 6,300 into the middle and Brown made the call.
Nguyen Nguyen: 
Camille Brown: 
Nguyen was behind and needed a good board to stay alive, which he definitely got on the 
runout.
Two players put in about 7,500 apiece on an 
flop, and an early player checked to Aaron Baker on a turn. He bet small with 2,700 and his opponent was in there with a check-call. Baker nudged up to 2,800 on the river and faced a check-raise to 12,000. He responded with another raise to 27,800, and his opponent tank-folded.

After the under-the-gun player limped, Wisconsin's Dan Dombrowski raised to 1,700 next to action. It folded around to the player in the big blind, who called, and then the UTG limper put in the additional 1,100 to see a 
flop.
Two checks saw Dombrowski continue for 3,800 and the player in the big blind insta-folded.
The UTG player gave it some thought, double-checked his cards, and then sent them to the muck.
It wasn't much of a hand, but it gave us a good excuse to update you on Dombrowski's chip stack, which is among the biggest in the room.
The dealer spread a flop of 
.
The first player to act in the heads-up pot put out a bet of 9,000, which was more than was in the middle. Dapo Ajayi, then three-bet shoved, and with action back on other player he asked for a count.
After the dealer confirmed a total of 25,300 the player made the call.
Dapo Ajayi: 
Opponent:
Ajayi was ahead but definitely had to fade some outs, which he did on the 
turn and river and secured the double-up.
