A series of raises saw Phil Mader get his 700,000 stack in the middle on the button and was called by Cy Church from the hijack.

Cy Church: {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}

Mader was behind needing help but didn't find any on the {10-Spades}{9-Hearts}{10-Clubs} flop. The turn wasn't what Mader wanted to see as it came the {a-Hearts} leaving him drawing dead to the {5-Spades} river.

Adam Joens raised all in for 303,000 from the hijack and was called by John Schroer from the small blind.

Adam Joens: {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}
John Schroer: {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

Joens was ahead with his made hand but the {3-Hearts}{q-Spades}{10-Spades} flop gave him a sweat as it gave Schroer more outs drawing to broadway.

The turn came the {k-Spades} completing Schroer's straight but it also kept Joens alive drawing to any spade. Unfortunately for Joens, the river was a brick {2-Diamonds} and ended his tournament.

Paul Jain: {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}
Paul Camby: {10-Spades}{10-Hearts}

Jain got the action he wanted but he didn't like the {5-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} flop that gave Camby top-set.

The {4-Diamonds} turn was no help to Jain and the {10-Clubs} river ended his tournament as it improved Camby to quads.

Tim Dunse opened for 125,000 from early position and was called by Paul Camby from the cutoff, along with Taylor Howard from the big blind.

The {k-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{7-Clubs} flop saw Howard check-fold after Dunse jammed for roughly 400,000 while Camby called.

Tim Dunse: {a-Clubs}{5-Clubs}
Paul Camby: {a-Spades}{j-Hearts}

Both players paired their ace on the flop but Dunse had kicker issues and the {4-Diamonds} turn didn't change a thing. Dunse needed a five to fall on the river to stay alive but it came the {10-Hearts} and ended his tournament.

Clint Lilienthal min-raised from middle position and Taylor Howard defended his big blind to see a {2-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{5-Hearts} flop. Howard check-jammed after Lilienthal continued and Lilienthal called off his 570,000 stack.

Howard connected on the flop but was still trailing Lilienthal's pocket tens and the {5-Diamonds} paired the board on the turn leaving, Lilienthal feeling pretty comfortable about securing a double.
