Tien Nguyen opened to 900 from middle position and Sam Netzer three-bet the cutoff to 2,600. When it got back to Nguyen, he called.
On the all-spade 6♠5♠8♠ flop, Nguyen check-called a bet of 3,000 from Netzer to see the 3♠ turn, which went check-check.
On the 6♦ river, Nguyen fired out a bet of 6,000, which Netzer quickly called.
Nguyen showed a bluff with K♥Q♣, and Netzer's Q♥Q♦ was good.

Yucel Eminoglu was confirming where his seat was with the floor as the break was ending, and didn't take too long get involved in a pot after settling into his chair.
With around 8,000 in the middle on a flop of 9♠J♥2♣, both Eminoglu and Hasmukh Khodiyara put in 2,200 on the flop to see the Q♥ fall on the turn. Eminoglu checked out of the big blind and Khodiyara fired 7,000 from the hijack. Eminoglu then shoved, and Khodiyara snap-called.
Hasmukh Khodiyara: J♣J♦ 
Yucel Eminoglu: K♣10♣
Eminoglu, who also goes by 'The Mad Turk', had turned the nuts and just needed to fade the board pairing on the river to secure the elimination. However, he couldn't find a brick as the 9♥ river gave Khodiyara a full house, which left Eminoglu with just 5,000 in his stack.

On a full board of Q♣8♠3♠6♣A♣ with around 12,000 in the middle, Thomas Clack checked it over to Gary Miller, who fired 7,800. Clack then put in a healthy-sized raise to 26,000, which sent Miller into the tank.
After some time thinking, Miller made the call, but quickly sent his cards to the muck upon seeing the J♣9♣ of Clack.
With that pot, Clack's stack grew to around 100,000.

Yucel Eminoglu shoved his stack of 3,800 into the middle from early position and Hasmukh Khodiyara three-bet from the small blind to 10,000 to isolate. Bach Nguyen was in the big blind and decided he wanted to see a flop, and called.
On the 10♣7♥A♥ flop, Khodiyara check-called a bet of 6,000 from Nguyen to see the 3♦ fall on the turn. Khodiyara again checked, then folded when Nguyen fired 9,000.
Yucel Eminoglu: A♠J♥
Bach Nguyen: K♠J♠
"Don't do anything stupid now, dealer," said Eminoglu.
The dealer obliged and put the 3♣ out on the river, which meant Eminoglu tripled up, and Nguyen profited on the hand after taking the side pot from Khodiyara.

Jason Dunsford: A♦7♦
Eriks Krumins: A♣Q♦
Dunsford was looking for some help, but never found any as the J♣K♠4♦K♦6♥ runout meant he was outkicked, and headed to the rail.

Yucel Eminoglu: 9♥7♥
Hasmukh Khodiyara: K♥3♥
Eminoglu held the lead with his pair and managed to stay in the lead as the 6♠7♣ runout improved him to two pair.
