Anton Morgenstern came along preflop for 9,000 and then folded the A♣10♥8♠ flop when facing a bet of 18,000. Vidur Sethi check-called and did so again for 40,000 on the 2♦ turn. The 3♣ river was checked and Sethi tabled the 10♦10♠5♥4♥ to win the pot.
Joao Vieira was in the big blind in a heads-up pot against under-the-gun opponent Jesse Lonis on a board of 10♠K♦2♣A♣5♥.
With around 150,000 already in the middle, Lonis bet 65,000 to leave himself just a single 1,000-chip behind. Vieira went deep into the tank and used all four of his time banks before landing on a call.
Lonis defeatedly tabled Q♥Q♠10♥9♦ for just a pair of queens and Vieira showed the winner with A♥K♠Q♣7♣ for aces and kings.
Allan Le raise-called the shove by Alex Rocha for just 20,000 and they tabled the cards.
Alex Rocha: A♦A♠4♦3♣
Allan Le: A♥K♦7♥2♦
The double-suited ace-king had some equity on the A♣10♦3♦ flop but the 7♣ turn and 4♣ river brought no upset as Rocha held on for the double.
On a three-way flop of 3♠6♣10♠, short-stacked Jason Mercier moved all in and Cary Katz made the call while Nick Schulman got out of the way.
Jason Mercier: Q♥10♥9♣7♦
Cary Katz: A♣K♦10♦7♣
"Ok, at least you don't have a flush draw," Mercier said as the dealer prepared the cards, with both players showing a pair of tens, but Katz with the superior kicker.
The board ran out Q♣A♥ to give Katz two pair on the river to win the pot, busting Mercier.
"Noooo, that is not how I wanted that to go," he groaned as he wished the table good luck and made his exit.
On the three-way turn of A♥4♠3♥, James Obst ended up all-in and at risk for 86,000 against Josh Arieh while Ian Bradley got out of the way.
James Obst:A♦K♠Q♦7♣
Josh Arieh: A♠Q♥10♥2♠
Arieh and straight and flush outs to improve with the 2♣ turn and K♥ river, sending Obst to the rail in the penultimate level of the night.
Three players got their chips into the middle with Bin Weng as the shortest stack for 20,000, as he was up against Aaron Katz and Jim Collopy.
Bin Weng: Q♠10♦9♠5♥
Aaron Katz: 9♦8♠7♠4♦
Jim Collopy: A♣A♥K♥8♦
The board came K♣Q♦10♠9♣2♣ and Weng tripled while Katz was eliminated. "See you in a minute," Kristopher Tong joked.
After a preflop betting war, Steven Veneziano moved all in and Michael Wang made the call, putting himself at risk.
Steven Veneziano: A♥A♣4♣5♦
Michael Wang: Q♠J♠J♣6♣
Steven Veneziano was in good shape to win a pot with his pocket aces, and the flop of 10♦A♦7♣ was very favorable for him as he flopped top set. Unfortunately, the runout of 9♦K♠ gave Wang the gutshot straight on the river to scoop the huge pot.
Three players limped in and Jeremy Ausmus then raised to 15,000 out of the big blind. Chris Brewer and Cary Katz called as a trio of players headed to the 10♠6♥2♠ flop. Ausmus tossed in two T-25,000 chips and that was enough to win the pot.
On a heads-up flop of 4♠5♦9♣, David Coleman bet the pot of 46,000 and the action was then over to Ben Lamb.
Lamb, who only had 68,000 behind, went deep into the tank to consider his options.
After using three of his time banks, he finally decided to let it go and the pot was awarded to Coleman.
