No-Limit Hold'em
Allen Kessler noted that he was down to just 2,500 in chips in the previous orbit but the very first hand of NLHE changed that all of a sudden. Having previously doubled, he picked up K♥K♦ versus A♣Q♣ and held up thanks to a 10♠9♥6♦7♣5♥ board to get back into contention.

On a three-way flop of K♣J♥3♦, Richard Mirin bet 5,000 out of the small blind. Aaron Schaff raised to 20,000 for David Bach to call on the button. Mirin tanked for a while and pushed all-in, prompting the snap shove by Schaff and snap-call by Bach with the superior stack.
Richard Mirin: K♥J♦5♠3♥
Aaron Schaff: K♠K♦4♣3x
David Bach: A♥Q♣10♥9♥
Mirin was in rough shape against top set and a full wrap while Bach had a ton of outs to knock out two opponents. One of them came with the 10♠ turn and the 5♦ river failed to pair the board, sending Schaff to the rail as well.
No-Limit 2-7 Triple Draw
After Max Pescatori raised to 3,000 in the cutoff, he was met with a three-bet to 20,000 by Andrew Donabedian on the button.
Pescatori called and then drew two, while Donabedian stood pat.
The post-draw action went check-check and Pescatori discarded a single card. The dealer and Donabedian informed him that it was Single Draw, to which Pescatori replied unknowingly, "oh, we switched" thinking that they were playing Pot-Limit Triple Draw.
Pescatori then turned up his Kx7x6x3x2x, while Donabedian showed 10x9x7x4x2x for the winner.
No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw
Ryan Roeder raised to 6,500 on the button and got a call from Jim Collopy in the big blind.
Collopy drew one, while Roeder needed to take two.
Collopy bet 10,000 and after a bit of deliberation, Roeder made the call.
Collopy fanned 10x9x7x5x2x for the winner and Roeder mucked his hand.
No-Limit Hold'em
One of the largest pots of the tournament so far unfolded in NLHE and it was Dean Joe who went from an above-average stack to the rail all of a sudden. He got it in preflop with the A♥K♠ only to get snapped off by Dekel Balas with the K♦K♥.
The board ran out 8♠7♥4♥4♣5♥ and more than 100,000 in chips went moved from one side of the table to the other.
Pot-Limit 2-7 Triple Draw
Dennis Eichhorn has built his stack up to start the day, but recently gave some back to his table in the game known by players as "Blood"
Eichhorn first raised to 5,000 in the cutoff and got called by Jon Shoreman in the big blind.
Each player drew two and Shoreman led out for 11,000, which got a call from Eichhorn.
The players drew one on the second draw and Shoreman now bet 20,000 and Eicchorn folded.
On the following hand, Eichhorn raised tom 4,500 in the hijack and got calls from Michael Trivett on the button and Frederic Moss in the big blind.
The trio each drew two and checked to the second draw. Moss drew two, Eichhorn drew one and Trivett drew two.
After Moss checked, Eichhorn bet 10,000 but got raised to 30,000 by Trivett. Moss folded and Eichhorn went into the tank.
After nearly three minutes, Eichhorn mucked his hand to send the pot to Trivett.
Pot-Limit Omaha
Three ways to the K♣K♦7♣9♣J♥ river, Ryan Hughes announced a bet of 19,000 and that forced out Dennis Maschke. Yehuda Buchalter had other plans and quickly piled in his stack of T-5,000 chips, resulting in an instant fold by big stack Hughes.
"I better show this one," Buchalter grinned as he flashed the K♠K♥ for flopped quads.

Pot-Limit Omaha
Yashuo Chin raised the pot to 8,500 on the button and a frustrated Kirill Tsyngalev jammed for 26,000 out of the big blind, which Chin called.
Kirill Tsyngalev: A♦K♥10♥4♦
Yashuo Chin: Q♦9♠8♥5♦
As soon as the 8♦5♣5♥ flop fell, Tsyngalev could all but grin and jokingly said "well played" as he was already drawing dead. The Q♥ turn and A♥ river were meaningless and Tsyngalev then exited the tournament with a tirade of swear words in Russian.
