On a board of 3♣5♣6♥, Noah Novick got his stack of 34,500 in the middle against the big blind.
Noah Novick: 5♥5♦ 
Big Blind: 10♥10♦
Novick had flopped a set and held on as the runout of J♣7♥ offered no help to the big blind.
The button opened the action with a raise to 800. Victor Bovet three-bet to 2,400 from the small blind and his opponent made the call.
Bovet continued for 2,200 on J♠10♠2♣ and the button called.
The turn 7♣ hit the felt and Bovet fired 7,000. The button moved all in for 13,500 and Bovet called.
Button: 7♠5♠
Victor Bovet: Q♣Q♥
The river K♦ sent the button player packing and Bovet chipped up back to above starting stack.
A player in the small blind opened to 1,400 and David McGowan defended from the big blind.
The flop came Q♠10♠6♦. The small blind fired a 1,200 continuation bet only for McGowan to raise to 4,000. The small blind made the call.
On the 5♣ turn McGowan bet 7,000 and his opponent opted to fold.
Action was picked up with 11,200 in the middle on a 6♦5♦Q♦ flop.
Iherkouken El-Hadi fired out 10,000 from the small blind before the cutoff player raised to 25,000. El-Hadi moved all in for 78,000 and his opponent made the call.
Iherkouken El-Hadi: A♦10♦
Cutoff: K♦K♠
El-Hadi flopped the nuts and was poised to scoop a massive pot. The 7♣ turn and 5♣ river sealed the deal, and El-Hadi emerged as one of the tournament chip leaders.
Both Michael Gathy and Niko Koop had seen a flop of 6♦J♠7♦. Koop checked, Gathy bet 900, and Koop called.
A 2♠ came on the turn and after Koop checked, Gathy bet 4,500. Koop snap-folded.
Early position opened to 1,100 and the button three-bet to 4,000. Nacho Barbero four-bet out of the small blind to 12,000 which forced a fold from the original raiser. The button, however, five-bet shoved for around 40,000 and Barbero snap-called.
Button: A♣K♣
Nacho Barbero: A♦A♥
Barbero's opponent was already out of his seat upon seeing the pocket aces. The Q♠2♦5♥3♠8♦ runout didn't help and he was sent to the rail.
Barbero jokingly commented after the hand "I play so good, first hand I bust someone flush over flush, then aces to ace-king!"
On a board of 2♦J♣3♥K♦. Samuel Ju, Rania Nasreddine, and Daniel Rezaei all checked.
A 6♥ came on the river and Ju bet out 1,500. Nasreddine called and Rezaei folded.
Ju confidently tabled K♠10♥ for top pair and Nasreddine mucked.
