After an open and a call, Calen McNeil potted the button to 2,400. In the big blind, Bart Hanson four-bet pot to 8,000, and McNeil called.
On the K♥5♦4♦ flop, Hanson continued for 13,000. McNeil would tank for nearly two minutes before he tossed in the call.
On the 5♣ turn, Hanson jammed for 27,000, and McNeil folded rather quickly this time, as the first all-in of the tournament was not met with a call.
James Chen made it 600 to go from early position with Bart Hanson calling from the next seat, David Prociak calling from the small blind, and Calen McNeil defending his big blind.

The 9♠ turn checked through to see the Q♥ appear on the river. Everyone checked and Chen took down the pot with trip queens holding A♠K♥Q♠5♥.

Both players checked the 5♠ turn to see the 8♣ appear on the river. Two more checks followed and Acovino turned over A♦10♦4♣3♣ for two pair and a seven-five low. Schermer revealed A♥Q♥J♣2♣ for the nut low, and they split the pot.
Scott Tuttle limped under the gun and Benjamin Miner limped the hijack before Ryan Laplante made it 1,000 to go in the small blind. Scott Eskenazi called from the big blind, Tuttle called, and Miner folded.
On the 8♥7♣5♠ flop, Laplante continued for 1,500 and only Eskenazi called.

Scott Eskenazi: A♠Q♣8♦2♦

With only four players at the table, Darryll Fish raised to 700 on the button and Jarred Graham three-bet to 2,300 from the small blind. Fish called.
Graham continued with a bet of 1,500 on the Q♦8♦5♠ flop and Fish made the call.
