The action was picked up in a heads-up pot with close to 17,000 in the middle on board showing 9♠3♠2♠3♣. The player in the cutoff checked to Victor Ramdin on the button who bet out 10,000, which his opponent called.
The 8♠ hit the river and the cutoff checked to Ramdin who fired for 17,000. The cutoff snap-called and Ramdin quickly tabled A♠10♣ for the nut flush. His opponent mucked his cards and the pot was sent to Ramdin.
Tyler Corbett raised and Shiv Lala three-bet to 5,600. The initial raiser jammed for 17,000 and Lala eventually called.
Tyler Corbett: A♥A♣
Shiv Lala: A♠K♦
The board ran out 9♦6♣4♦10♦J♥ and Corbett had to dodge diamonds to double with a sweat.
Maria Konnikova was heads-up from middle position against Joshua Hopkins in early position on K♥7♥2♦5♥ board with several thousand already in the middle.
Both players checked to see a river, which came the 2♠. Hopkins bet 2,300 and Konnikova called.
Hopkins turned over 8♠8♥, but they were no good against Konnikova's Q♣Q♠ and she added to her stack.
Takuma Bergeron raised 2,000 in early position and he was called by the hijack, Scott Hempel on the button, the small blind and Benjamin Gross in the big blind.
When the flop came K♠9♣5♥, the blinds checked to Bergeron who continued for 3,000. Only Hempel made the call.
The J♠ hit the turn and both players checked.
When the 6♦ landed on the river, Bergeron dropped two red chips across the line while announcing a bet of 9,500.
Hempel went wide-eyed as he stared at Bergeron and tanked for about two minutes before surrendering the pot.
In a multi-way pot to the 10♠5♥4♥ flop, Tom Dwan bet 2,800 and Diego Casco was the only caller on the button.
On the 4♣ turn, Dwan checked and called a bet worth 4,000 by Casco before the 9♥ fell on the river. Dwan checked again and Casco bet 8,000. The reluctant call by Dwan followed and Casco won the pot with the K♠K♥.

Four players, including Chris Da-Silva in the cutoff, went to the turn on a board of 10♣4♥10♦K♦ when the big blind led out for 2,200.
Only Da-Silva stuck around to the 3♣ river, where the big blind fired out another 5,300. Da-Silva peered over at his opponent and rechecked his cards before raising to 14,000.
The big blind mucked his hand as Da-Silva took the pot. "I had a pair. Knowing you, you probably hit the ten," he told Da-Silva following the hand.
With the cards turned over in a preflop all-in, Frankie Muzzio was the player at risk with the A♣J♠. Mihai Isar revealed the 9♣9♠ and the Q♣6♦4♠2♥2♣ board kept the pair in the lead for Muzzio to depart.
Daniel Custodio, Mark Newhouse, and Jesse Rosen went three-ways to a flop of 3♣4♣5♠. With around 4,300 chips in the middle, Custodio led out from the big blind for 1,500. Newhouse raised to 5,000 from under the gun before Rosen three-bet to 12,200 from the hijack.
Custodio quickly got out of the way, but Newhouse committed his entire stack of 39,000. Rosen snap called and a showdown was had.
Mark Newhouse: A♣10♣
Jesse Rosen: 5♥5♣
Newhouse had a combo draw to the nut flush and a wheel, while Rosen was sitting on top set. The K♣ turn saw Newhouse hit his flush, and the board remained free of pairs when the 8♠ river completed the hand.
Newhouse doubled up in his efforts to finally better his back-to-back ninth-place finishes in 2013 and 2014.
