With 22,000 chips in the middle, Nacho Barbero made a bet of 10,000 on the 5♣7♥8♦6♦ turn. Alexander Queen made the call in the big blind and Kou Vang also tossed in calling chips under the gun.
The J♥ river then completed the board and the action checked to Vang. He made a bet of 32,000, to which Barbero folded after mulling things over. Queen also took his time before coming to the same conclusion, and the pot was awarded to Vang.

Chad Eveslage opened to 3,500 from the cutoff, then called after James Chen three-bet to 17,000 out of the small blind.
Chen led out for 14,000 following the 8♣K♥9♥ flop, receiving a call from Eveslage.
The Q♠ turn saw Chen check, prompting Eveslage to fire off 22,000. Chen made the call to see a river.
Chen checked once more on the 2♥ river. Eveslage opted to move almost his entire stack into the middle, leaving himself just 500 behind. It did not take long for Chen to call with Eveslage instantly mucking to send the mammoth pot over to his opponent.
Eveslage was eliminated a couple of hands later.

Anthony Zinno had raised to 3,500 under the gun when he was three-bet to 12,000 by Barry Woods in the hijack. Selahaddin Bedir in the small blind then made it 29,000 to go and the action was back on Zinno.
He spent two time banks but eventually stuck in his stack of 114,500. Woods quickly folded and Bedir eventually followed suit after spending some time extensions of his own.

Action was picked up in a three-bet pot between Jason Koon in the big blind and Chino Rheem in the hijack.
The flop peeled off 10♥10♣9♦ and Koon bet 12,000 which Rheem called.
Koon bet a second time on the 8♥ turn, this time to the tune of 28,000 and Rheem called.
On the river 4♥, Koon bet 60,000, leaving himself just 1,000 left.
"Mr. Koon, what are you doing to me?" Rheem asked as he proceeded to burn all of his time extensions.
"I think you think I'm light, the question is are you?" Rheem continued while Koon sat in complete silence. After all of the time extensions were used, Rheem tossed his hand into the muck.
"You seem relieved," Rheem said "I had about the best hand I could have."
"Jacks?" asked Koon and Rheem nodded while Koon took in the pot.

Picking up the action on the turn, Masashi Oya from under the gun was involved in a hand with Tyler Stafman in early position.
With the board reading 9♥7♣Q♣5♠ and a sizable pot already built, Oya checked to Stafman, who bet 25,000, leaving himself a similar amount behind. Oya called to send the players to the river.
The river came K♥ and both players checked. Oya turned over 10♣10♥, strong enough to scoop the pot to leave Stafman short.
