Ben Yu completed with the 
and Jordan Siegel was the only player who called with 
in the door.
Both players spiked another Broadway card and Yu continued on fourth. Siegel called. Then both boards received an eight on fifth, giving Siegel three-to-a-straight. He raised Yu's bet and Yu called.
Siegel hit a pair of jacks on sixth and led out. Yu took some time before throwing in calling chips.
Siegel finally fired on the river and Yu called. Siegel, however, had a full house and Yu couldn't beat that.
Jordan Siegel: 
/ 
Ben Yu:

Siegel had a boat already on sixth and peeled yet another card good for the house on seventh.
"Did you see that he made it on the river?" Todd Brunson, sitting to Siegel's left, joked.

Mark Gregorich and Mike Wattel were on fifth street where Gregorich led out with a king-high board. Wattel raised and Gregorich called.
Their battle continued on sixth street where Gregorich check-raised, but Wattel kept the aggression, three-betting. Gregorich called.
Gregorich let Wattel fire on the river and Wattel had only about 5,000 left after he placed in his bet. Gregorich paused for a while but then took his board, turned it face down, waving the white flag.

Nicholas Seiken completed, James Obst called, and bring-in Yordan Petrov came along. Seiken bet on fourth, earning two calls, and all players checked the following two streets. Obst led out on the river with three club cards out and Petrov paused.
Then he threw in two bets and Seiken instantly called, thinking that Petrov just called. The dealer informed Seiken that he can either leave the 8,000 he'd put in and fold or make a call. He called.
Obst, however, made it three bets and it was Petrov's turn again. He paused, took a few sips from his organic drink, and then let his hand go. Seiken threw in calling chips, saying, "You win, sir." He was right, as Obst rolled over a full house. Petrov then declared that he folded a heart flush.
