Picking up the action partway through the hand, Alexander Carr in middle position was all in and at risk against Albert Nguyen in the small blind.
Alexander Carr: Q♠Q♣
Albert Nguyen: J♥J♦
Carr was in a good spot to find a full double. Unfortunately for him, the board ran out J♠7♥A♥9♣10♥ to improve Nguyen to a set and send Carr to the payout desk late in the day.
Tauan Naves was already all in preflop against Steve Zolotow, who had Naves covered.
Tauan Naves: 7x7x
Steve Zolotow: JxJx
The board ran out 8♣5♦8♦10♥8♠ and Zolotow's jacks held up to eliminate Naves.
Picking up the action on the flop, Justin Liberto in the cutoff was involved in a hand with Igor Yaroshevskyy in the small blind. With the board reading 8♠4♣J♣ Yaroshevskyy had a bet of 70,000 in front of him.
Liberto responded by moving all in with the covering stack. Yaroshevsky took his time deciding what to do, so much so that eventually a clock was called on him. Barely had the floorman reached the table before the Ukrainian mucked his holding to leave himself short while sending more chips Liberto's way.
Phil Hellmuth limped under the gun, Cedric Schwaederle called on the button and Eric Baldwin completed in the small blind. Steve Zolotow checked his option in the big blind and four players saw the flop.
On a board of J♥A♦6♥, the action was checked to Hellmuth, who bet out for 20,000. Schwaederle called and both Baldwin and Zolotow folded.
The 3♠ turn checked through to the 6♦ on the river. Hellmuth checked once more and Schwaederle placed a bet of 52,000, sending Hellmuth into the tank.
"This is where you make all the monies" Hellmuth told himself aloud. "This is why you're Phil Hellmuth, right here!" he continued. After some time in the tank, he chose to fold.
Hellmuth told both PokerNews and his table that he had in fact limped pocket kings that hand.
Frank Lagodich opened to 25,000 from the cutoff and just behind him, Dave Stefanski shoved for 334,000 total. Fabrice Bigot called cold from the small blind to put Stefanski at risk and Lagodich let his hand go.
Dave Stefanski: 9♣9♠
Fabrice Bigot: 10♥10♣
The board ran out 2♣3♦5♦10♦7♥ — improving Bigot to an unnecessary set and eliminating Stefanski.
Christopher Chaudey shoved for his last 150,000 from the button and was called by James Chen to put Chaudey at risk.
Christopher Chaudey: K♣7♣
James Chen: A♦9♦
The J♠10♦10♠8♣8♥ runout kept Chen best with his ace and Chaudey was eliminated late in the evening.
Eric Baldwin raised to 24,000 from the cutoff and was called by Phil Hellmuth in the small blind and Nick Yunis in the big blind.
Everyone checked on the 3♣8♦10♦ flop and Hellmuth quickly bet 30,000 on the 10♣ turn. Only Baldwin called.
The 5♠ completed the board and Hellmuth bet 45,000. This time Baldwin folded and Hellmuth collected the pot.
Barak Wisbrod raised under the gun to 25,000, Julian Milliard-Feral called on the button and Jamie O'Connor three-bet to 100,000 from the big blind. Only Milliard-Feral continued.
O'Connor slowed down on a flop of 8♣10♣9♣, check-calling a bet of 45,000 from Milliard-Feral.
The 9♠ turn checked through to the 9♦ on the river.
O'Connor quickly bet out 300,000. Milliard-Feral thought for some time before committing nearly two-thirds of his stack with a call. O'Connor sighed before mucking his cards. Milliard-Feral opted to do the same before claiming the pot.
