Chris Moorman was all in from early position for 180,000, Chance Kornuth was also all in from late position for 117,000, and Carter Jones made the call from the small blind to potentially bust out two players.
Chance Kornuth: A♥A♦
Chris Moorman: 6♥6♣
Carter Jones: K♦K♠
The board was 8♥7♠5♥8♣Q♣ and aces held, giving Kornuth the best two pair and a much-needed chip boost. Jones took a significant hit to his stack, although he won a small side pot of 63,000, and his railing buddies instructed Moorman, "Go hit the showers."

Action was picked up with a flop of 10♦2♦5♦ and a pot of 100,000. Heads-up, Cooper Feltham check-called Ori Hasson's bet of 22,000.
The same thing happened when Hasson bet 54,000 on the turn A♣.
Getting another check on the river J♥, Hasson took a few seconds to think of his next move. He added another 210,000 in the pot. Feltham considered his action and counted his chips behind realizing that a call would effectively put him all-in.
He finally folded his hand and surrendered the pot the Hasson.

Alexander Massman tried unsuccessfully to leave the table on three consecutive hands. The fourth time was a charm.
First he thought he was out when he went all in against Anatoly Nikitin. He put on his backpack and stood to exit. But he had Nikitin covered, so had to sit back down with just 16,000 chips.
He went all in on the next hand and again stood to leave, but learned he chopped the pot. He hit a pair of queens on his third straight all-in to stay alive.
The next hand against Xinze Li didn't work out so well.
Alexander Massman: K♠3♠
Xinze Li: A♣Q♦
The runout 4♣K♦Q♣10♣9♣ gave Li a flush, and Massman was finally able to leave.

Thomas Cazayous raised from early position to 24,000, and Lirui Zhang made the call from the big blind. The flop went A♠3♠3♦, and Zhang checked into Cazayous, who continued with 22,000. Zhang called.
The turn 4♦ had Zhang check-call again when Cazayous bet 40,000.
On the river 9♠ Zhang gave a check and stared at his opponent, but that didn't faze Cazayous from moving all in for 113,000. Zhang made the call but mucked when Cazayous turned over A♥Q♥ for two pair.

Cody Krause had his short stack all in and at risk against Anatoly Nikitin.
Cody Krause: A♦Q♦
Anatoly Nikitin: 7♣7♦
The flop fanned out 5♣2♥J♣, followed by the 4♥, all safe for Nikitin, but the Q♥ gave Krause a breath of live as he paired his queen.

Kristen Foxen raised to 24,000 under the gun and Kevin Eyster defended his big blind.
The A♥Q♣6♣ hit the felt and Eyster check-called a bet of 16,000.
The turn peeled the 3♥ and Eyster checked once more. This time, he folded after Foxen bet 28,000.
It seems the bubble was good to Foxen as she continues to gain momentum, approaching the million mark.
