Jason Berilgen was all-in on the turn against Michael Chow on a board reading 3♣J♦6♣K♣.
Berilgen: A♣K♥J♥7♣
Chow: A♠A♥J♣3♥
The river 5♦ would be no help for Chow as Berilgen's two pair and seventy-six low would hold to win.

On the tail end of a 9♥5♥2♣10♣5♦ board, Yuri Dzivielevski bet out of the small blind. Johannes Becker went into the tank for a short while and then called, getting shown the A♣J♥4♣3♣ for a missed wrap and low by the Brazilian. Becker had that beat with the A♦Q♠7♦4♠ to scoop the pot.

The money bubble is looming with 34 players left and they have gone on a scheduled ten-minute break.
Corey Hochman was all-in once more when the final few chips only went in after the 10♠8♦7♣4♣6♥ river. Erik Seidel looked him up with the Q♦8♥4♦3♥. However, Hochman earned it all with the A♥7♥5♣2♣ for an eight-high straight and nut low.
Steve Chanthabouasy was then all-in for 36,000 with the A♥K♥6♣4♠ out of the big blind and Damjan Radanov in the small blind looked him up with the A♣A♠Q♥10♣. The K♦5♥3♦2♦7♥ board gave Chanthabouasy the nut low and straight for a full double.
Kyle Montgomery then had to settle for a chop with James Chen (US) when both flopped jacks and eights.
James Chen (Taiwan) raised from middle position and was called by James Chen (US) in middle position. Ben Lamb then three-bet from late position and both Chens called.
The flop came 7♦J♣10♣ and Chen (T) lead out. Chen (US) called and Lamb raised. Chen (T) called Lamb's raise and then Chen (US) three-bet, both Lamb and Chen (T) called.
The turn brought the 4♥ and both Chens checked to Lamb, who laughingly said, "what happened?" Before placing a bet. Both Chens called and the dealer put out the 5♠ river.
Again both Chens checked to Lamb who bet. Chen (T) called and Chen (US) folded. Lamb tabled A♣10♥4♣2♥ for two pair and a seventy-five low, which would be good enough to scoop.
Having gone through the blinds, Corey Hochman was down to 23,000 and raised on the button. Yuri Dzivielevski three-bet in the small blind and Hochman's last three yellow chips went into the middle.
Corey Hochman: A♦Q♦4♥3♦
Yuri Dzivielevski: A♥10♣7♥5♦
The A♠6♠2♦J♣K♦ board earned a full double for Hochman with the superior low and ace-queen kicker advantage.
Jason Daly raised for Jason Berilgen to call and Bryce Yockey defended the big blind. On a 10♣5♦2♣ flop, it checked to Daly who bet and earned two calls.
The 8♠ fell on the turn and it checked to Berilgen this time, who bet. Yockey check-raised to force out Daly while Berilgen stuck around. The 7♠ river was checked and Yockey's 10♥9♦X♦8♣ for two pair and Berilgen took the low with the A♣K♦J♣3♦.
Day 1 chip leader Connor Drinan was eliminated by Jose Luis Velador before the next all-in showdown unfolded on the same table soon after.
Corey Hochman limped in from the small blind and Yuri Dzivielevski in the big blind raised, Hochman limp-reraised and earned a call from his table neighbour. One bet went in after the Q♦5♥2♥ flop before they got it in after the K♠ turn.
Corey Hochman: A♥A♠J♦3♥
Yuri Dzivielevski: K♣J♠7♣4♠
The 7♦ river gave Dzivielevski two pair while Hochman had the low for them to chop.
James Chen raised from late position and was called by Ben Lamb on the button and George Wolff on the short stack from the big blind.
The three players saw a flop of K♠8♣8♦ and Wolff tossed in his one remaining chip. Chen and Lamb both called.
The turn Q♠ checked through and Chen put out a bet on the 9♦ river, prompting Lamb to check his cards one more time before folding.
George Wolff: K♥J♠6♠5♥
James Chen: A♣10♦8♥4♥
Wolff's two pair wouldn't be good enough to beat the trip eights of Chen.
