With 11,000 in the pot, four players saw a flop of 
. Daniel Alaei was first to act and opted to ship his entire stack of 10,400. One by one his opponents folded, allowing Alaei to take down the pot and essentially double to about 22,000.
Unfortunately, any momentum Alaei had ended a short time later when he was eliminated from the tournament.

Although the action is was unknown, we did see Surindar Sunar table 
on an ace-high board. He won a large sized pot, enough to get him to 40,000-chip mark.
We caught up with the action three-handed on a 
board with the pot around 100,000. Igor Sharaskin was already all in for the 3,000 more he had left and Jacobo Fernandez was faced with a bet that looked to be 11,000 from Juan Caridad. Fernandez thought for a while before he put in the chips for the call.
Caridad turned over 
for a pair of sevens and an eight low. Fernandez showed 
for two pair as the players chopped the side-pot. Sharaskin then flipped up 
for a high pair of kings that was no good but the nut-low which good to split the main pot with Fernandez’s two pair.

Daniel Fuhs opened the pot with a raise to 2,500 from the cutoff and Max Stern was the only caller on the button.
The flop was 
and Fuhs led for 3,500. The bet was met with a call from Stern and the two players saw the 
turn. This time Fuhs led for 12,000 but was unhappy was Stern went all in for 31,200. After a minute or two of thought, Fuhs reluctantly put in the necessary chips to call.
Stern held 
for a straight while Fuhs had 
for top two pair and a straight draw. The river bricked off to ship Stern the massive pot and leave Fuhs with only 10,000 behind.
We didn't catch the action or when the money went in, but a three-way pot just occurred that saw Dan Heimiller scoop with a wheel. With a board reading 
, the following hands were tabled:
Heimiller: 
Binger: 
Greco: 
With that hand, Heimiller is up to 63,000.

We caught up with the action heads up on a flop where Bruno Fitoussi called Kevin MacPhee’s bet of 5,000. On the 
turn, Fitoussi bet pot and MacPhee called all in.
Fitoussi: 
MacPhee: 
Fitoussi held the nut flush while MacPhee had a set and a low and could scoop the pot if the board paired. The 
river gave each player the same low but didn’t fill MacPhee up as he got quartered down to 8,600. Shortly after that, MacPhee was eliminated.

An under-the-gun player raised to 2,500 only to have Brett Richey move all in for 8,300 from middle position. Action folded back to UTG and he made the call.
Richey:
UTG:
The 
flop was good for Richey as it assured him a low, although it didn't do much for his high hand. The turn and river meant a chopped pot for Richey, who is still short with 10,000.
