The board ran out

No-Limit Hold'em
Having notched five six-figure results in no-limit hold'em events this year alone, Manig Loeser is certainly one of the favorites in the field when it comes to poker's most popular discipline.
He added to his stack in hold'em in a hand that saw him battle Richard Ashby on the turn reading 
. Ashby (big blind) checked to Loeser who fired 4,000 on the button. Ashby called to see the 
hit the river.
Ashby checked again and Loeser moved all in for his last 10,550. Ashby counted the calling chips, separated them from his remaining stack, and thought for almost two minutes. Then he decided his hand wasn't strong enough to pull the call, allowing Loeser to rake in the pot without showing his holdings.

Stud Hi-Lo Regular
Jeff Lisandro had the bring-in and Douglas Redmann called before John Hennigan completed. Patrice Biton called, as Lisandro folded, and Redmann called.
Biton bet fourth and both players called before Redman took the betting lead on fifth. Hennigan folded, but Biton called, and on sixth and seventh Redmann bet and Biton called each time.
Redmann:

After being called on seventh, Redmann tabled his

Pot-Limit Omaha
Jesse Hampton opened the button to 1,700 and Josh Arieh made the call in the big blind.
The 
flop was checked through and Arieh led out 3,000 on the 
turn. Hampton called.
Arieh slowed down on the 
river and checked. Hampton fired 4,500 in position and Arieh spent about a minute contemplating his decision. He eventually called and Hampton immediately let him know that he was good. Arieh showed 
for trip eights and claimed the pot.

Stud
John Hennigan came back with the chip lead and he seems to have picked up where he left off. Hennigan has already climbed to 125,000 after adding some more chips to his stack in a hand against Patrice Biton.
John Hennigan: / 
Patrice Biton: / - fold
Biton bet on fourth street and Hennigan called but fifth street looked to be a perfect connection to Hennigan's board which now included three Broadway cards. Hennigan bet and Biton gave up.
