Thomas Kysar opened to 25,000 from under the gun and was called by Marcos Exterkotter on the button.
Kysar bet 25,000 on the J♥10♥8♠ flop and was called by Exterkotter. Both players checked the 8♥ turn.
The river was the A♣. Kysar bet again, this time for 47,000 and was once again called by his opponent.
Exterkotter tabled A♥10♠ for two pair and Kysar revealed K♥Q♣ for the rivered Broadway straight to take the pot down.
Alex Epstein found himself all-in in three consecutive hands.
Hand One:
Epstein jammed from middle position for 33,000 finding a caller in Jon Kyte on the button.
Alex Epstein: J♦9♣
Jon Kyte: K♦6♦
The board ran out Q♥9♠Q♦A♦Q♠ and Epstein secured his first double-up.
Hand Two:
The very next hand Epstein shoved all in from early position and failed to find a caller, though he still won the dead money in the middle.
"I had it this time" he announced as he tabled A♦Q♥.
Hand Three:
Epstein was now under the gun and attempted to move all in. Unfortunately, he did so in two motions and it was considered just a raise to 42,500 by the floor. Johan Schultz-Pedersen was next to act and moved all in for 149,500, as did
Pier Angelo Perazzi on the button. Epstein called off for his tournament life.
Alex Epstein: A♣K♠
Johan Schultz-Pedersen: K♥K♣
Pier Angelo Perazzi: A♥K♦
The board ran out 8♥Q♣10♠9♦9♠. Schultz-Pedersen scooped the pot and eliminated Epstein.
A player went all in from under the gun for his last 22,000 chips and was called by Adam Adler in middle position who had a covering stack.
Under the Gun: K♥8♠
Adam Adler: J♠10♥
Both players hit the K♦9♣6♦ flop with the under the gun player hitting top pair and Adler hitting an open-ended straight draw. The Q♠ brought the straight in and the 6♥ river was inconsequential. Adler secured the elimination and padded his stack with his opponent's chips.
Martin Zamani was all in preflop against Ryan Laplante who had him covered.
Martin Zamani: J♠10♣
Ryan Laplante: K♣K♦
Laplante smashed the K♥8♦8♣ flop, leaving Zamani drawing dead. The A♦ turn and K♠ river were a formality. Laplante's quad kings were good for the winner and Zamani hit the rail shortly after making the money.
