James Obst opened to 5,000 and got called by Brad Sailor to see a flop Q♥3♦10♠. Obst continued for 6,000 and Sailor called.
The turn was the 3♠ and Sailor called again Obst, this time for 15,000.
The 7♠ river went check-check and Obst tabled Q♦J♣ for top pair. Sailor sent his cards into the muck.
Alexandra Botez and Anthony Kennedy built a pot of around 90,000 heading to the turn on a board of A♦9♣J♠Q♠ when Kennedy bet 55,000 from early position.
Botez called and the K♥ fell on the river, where Kennedy then bet 100,000. Botez, with around 75,000 remaining, tanked for several minutes as tablemates snapped photos of the board.
She eventually called all in and Kennedy turned over 9♠7♠ for a pair of nines. "Oh, my God," Botez said as she got up from her seat and showed A♥K♠ to win the pot.
Kennedy told the table his birthday is today following the hand. "That's why I played it," he said with a smile despite taking that beat.
Botez later knocked out Anatoly Filatov from this table after Filatov moved all in for around 30,000 with two eights, but Botez woke up with aces to send him to the rail.
Shaun Deeb opened to 5,000 from middle position and received calls from Rhian Fineis in the cutoff and a player in the big blind.
Deeb made a continuation bet for 6,500 on the A♣8♥7♣ flop. Fineis raised to 15,500, forcing the big blind out of the hand. Deeb made the call.
The turn was the 9♦. Deeb checked, Fineis bet 28,000 and Deeb made the call.
Both players checked the 8♦ river. Deeb tabled 10♣9♥ for a pair of nines and a missed straight draw while Fineis showed down A♦10♠ for top pair to take the pot.
Giyeon Han opened 5,500 in early position and Alex Foxen three-bet to 16,500 next to act. The action folded back around to Han and he made the call.
The dealer spread a flop of Q♠8♥6♦, and Han check-called a continuation bet of 13,000 from Foxen.
The 4♥ turn was checked through to see the 8♠ river. Han led out for 35,000 before Foxen announced all-in.
Han went into the blender, taking about three minutes before asking how much Foxen had. Foxen counted it for him and let him know he had 329,500, which covered Han's 165,000. Han tanked another 30 seconds before dropping a stack of chips across the line to make the call. Foxen rolled over 9♣8♣ for trip eights, and Han showed A♣Q♦ as he exited the tournament.
After limping preflop, short-stacked Todd Collins moved all in on the flop of 3♠2♥8♠ and was called by Roman Pereyaslavsky to put him at risk.
Todd Collins: K♥8♦
Roman Pereyaslavsky: 7♦8♥
Collins was well in the lead going into the battle with his superior kicker, and the runout of 8♣K♣ further improved him to a full house to win him the pot for a double-up.
Barry Greenstein had already bet 20,000 on a completed board of 3♦4♥Q♣10♦4♠ from the small blind against his opponent, who was on the button, with several thousand already in the middle.
After a bit of tanking, Greenstein's opponent made the call and Greenstein tabled K♠Q♠, which got a quick muck.
In a blind versus blind situation, Leandry Ainonkpo completed and Spencer Taylor raised it to 8,500. Ainonkpo made the call.
The flop brought 10♠A♣10♥ and Ainonkpo check-called Taylor's continuation for 4,500. The turn was the 8♠ and the same action happened, this time for 17,000.
A J♣ appeared on the river and after a last check from Ainonkpo, Taylor shoved for 125,000. After a minute of thinking, Ainonkpo let it go and Taylor flipped over Q♠3♥.
Vladas Tamasauskas raised to 5,500 preflop from the cutoff, with Andres Campero defending his big blind.
The flop came 4♦3♥J♠, with both players checking. The turn came K♠, and once again no chips were put forward.
The river came Q♠, and neither player wished to make a bet. Campero showed 10♦8♣, which fell to the A♥7♥ of Tamasauskas.
A player on the button moved all in for 86,000 as action went back on Lucas Cullen in early position.
"My flight is at 8 p.m.," Cullen said as he called for most of his stack.
All-In Player: A♠Q♠
Lucas Cullen: A♣K♣
Cullen had his opponent dominated and jumped further in front on the 5♦7♠K♦ flop with top pair. The board ran out 2♦J♥ and Cullen secured the knockout, admitting he faces a 25-hour flight back home to Australia tonight but might have to miss it.
