: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Matthew Stout raised to 800 from early position but was met by a three bet from Antonio Galiana to 3,000 in the cutoff. Action folded back to Stout, who four-bet to 7,800, and Galiana called.
With roughly 16,000 already in the pot, the flop came 3♦8♦9♠ and Stout continued his aggression with a bet of 5,800, which Galiana called. Both players slowed down when the 9♣ hit the turn, and action went check-check. Stout checked again when the 10♣ hit the river and Galiana announced "all in", Stout snap folded.

There were around 7,000 chips in the pot on a 4♦9♥9♣7♠8♣ board when Xiaohu Liu was seen with a bet of 10,000 in front of him. Jack Sinclair was also in the hand from the big blind and had five orange chips, worth 5,000 each, laid out on the felt for a raise to 25,000.
Liu took some time while he mulled it over and eventually decided on a fold, which allowed Sinclair to take the pot down.

An early position player raised to 900, before Aram Zobian three-bet in the cut off to 2,800. Action folded to Richard Green in the big blind, who hadn't seen the raise from Zobian and put 900 chips in.
After clarification, Green decided to call the full 2,800 anyway. The initial raiser got out of the way.
The flop came down 5♦4♦A♥ and Green elected to lead jam for roughly 9,500 chips. Zobian, who covered Green, called.
Zobian A♦J♦
Green J♥4♥ 
The turn gave Green hope as it came 9♥ but the 3♣ offered no help, sending Green to the river.

On a board of J♥10♣2♥ 7♠ Q♥ and 11,000 chips in the middle, big blind Ryan Hohner checked to Simeon Spasov.
Spasov took a moment before constructing a bet of 9,500.
This was enough to get the job done as Hohner folded, adding this pot to the growing stack of Spasov.

We picked up this hand on the flop with 8,500 chips in the middle; and heads-up action between Michael Troutt and Patrick Leonard both in middle position. The board read Q♦10♦3♥, and Troutt elected to bet 1,800. Leonard would raise to 4,000, Troutt obliged.
When the 4♥ hit the turn, action paused with a check from Troutt and a check-back from Leonard.
With the 6♥ bringing a potential flush on the river, the action was on Troutt who decided 7,000 was the price of admission. Leonard pondered for a moment, but in the end, made the call, and was shown the bad news.
Michael Troutt: A♣Q♠
Holding top pair top kicker, Troutt chipped up to a healthy 87,000 chips during the 400 big blind level.

On a board of 8♠2♣K♥9♣2♦, there were around 40,000 chips in the pot when Jon Vallinas shoved his stack of 50,000 into the middle.
Callum Roque had around 32,000 remaining and after thinking for some time, he put his chips to work and called.
Vallinas then revealed he flopped a set and rivered a boat holding 8♣8♥, and Roque's K♠10♠ went into the muck.

Action was picked up on a board of 6♠4♥6♣2♠K♥ and with roughly 25,000 in the pot, Anthony Ibrahim bet 25,500 from middle position. Alejandro Peinado, who was in early position, went into the tank for around a minute before calling but got shown the bad news as Ibrahim tabled 6♥7♥ for three of a kind.

With around 8,000 in the pot on a 2♥6♣8♥A♠ board, Christopher Housser checked from the big blind and Benjamin Palmer also tapped the table from under the gun. David Lawhead was in the cutoff and bet 5,000, which both Housser and Palmer called.
A 4♠ completed the board and Housser decided to lead out with a small sizing of 2,500. Palmer quickly folded, and Lawhead called.
"Ace," announced Housser as he revealed A♣7♣. Lawhead then rolled over A♦6♠ for two pair, which was good enough to see him scoop the pot.
