Miguel Use opened the action with a raise to 9,000 from the button and Corey Wick in the big blind called.
The flop was 10♠9♥7♠, both players checked.
On the 4♣ turn, Wick bet 13,000 and Use called.
The river was the 10♣ and this time Wick bet 40,000. Use thought for a while and then called. Wick turned up Q♠8♣, Use double checked his opponent’s cards and then turned over J♦7♦ for two pair.
On a heads-up flop of Q♦9♦J♣, Matt Dodd checked, Yuri Dzivielevski bet 33,000, and Dodd called.
The turn was the 4♠ and once again Dodd checked, Dzivielevski fired for 60,000, and Dodd made the call.
The river fell the J♠, pairing the board, and Dodd paused to think.
"All in," he announced and set out a stack of chips, the bet worth 156,000. Dzivielevski went into the tank for close to a minute, but eventually decided to fold and the huge pot was awarded to Dodd.
Level: 14
Blinds: 2,000/4,000
Ante: 4,000
Landon Tice raised to 7,000 from the cutoff and was called by the small blind and big blind.
The flop came K♠9♠8♣, and action checked through.
The turn was the 10♥ and action checked to Tice, who bet 16,000. The small blind then raised to 32,000 . The big blind folded and Tice went all in. The player in the small blind called having slightly more chips than Tice and both players tabled their hands.
Landon Tice: Q♠J♠ 
Small Blind: K♦9♥
The river was the 6♥ securing the double up for Tice
Fausto Valdez went to the flop with two players, one of them being the current chip leader in the tournament, Ilija Savevski. The cards were 10♥8♥J♣.
Action got checked to Savevski on the button, who bet 7,000. The out-of-position player folded and Valdez called.
The turn was the 4♣. Valdez checked again and Savevski bet again, this time 23,000. Valdez took a moment and called.
The river was the K♥, a scare-card bringing in the flush. Valdez took a moment before checking again. This time Savevski decided to check behind. The players turned over their cards. Valdez showed A♣Jx and Savevski turned over 4♠4♦ for a turned set.
The pot brought Savevski to the highest stack in the tournament up to this point, and Valdez was left with just over 25 big blinds.
A couple of hands later Valdez was dealt ace-jack again. This time he was able to make it work in his favor, albeit for a smaller pot of about 40,000 chips.
The under-the-gun player raised to 6,000, Josh Beckenstein three-bet to 19,000 from the button, Fernando Brito then four-bet from the small blind to 69,000. The under-the-gun player folded, and Beckenstein made the call.
The flop came 8♦8♥4♠, Brito bet enough to put Beckenstein all in, Beckenstein made the fold, and Brito showed AxAx. Beckenstein mentioned he was glad he had AxKx and not QxQx or JxJx.
After a preflop betting war, Jeff Platt, Ryan Hiller, and another player got all of their chips into the middle, with Platt as the shortest stack.
Jeff Platt: K♦K♠
Player 1: A♥K♥
Ryan Hiller: Q♥Q♦
The runout of 10♦3♦J♦2♦10♠ gave both Platt and Hiller a flush, but Platt's superior king-high was good to take down the main pot for a triple-up while Hiller took the side pot to eliminate the third player.
"All skill over here," Platt joked as he raked in the pot.
The player in the hijack raised to 6,000 and Michael Anderson made the call from the small blind. The flop came out 2♣9♠4♣ when the hijack bet out 6,000 and Anderson raised all in for 23,000. The hijack quickly called.
"Don't worry, you will win," Anderson stated.
Michael Anderson: 2♠K♥
Hijack: A♦J♠
Anderson was ahead with his pair of twos and stayed ahead when the turn came 10♣ and the river 7♠ allowing Anderson to double up his chips.
