Biao Ding limped from early position before Zachary Zaret raised to 3,600 from the cutoff. In the big blind, Andrew Kelsall potted to 12,600 and both opponents called.
As the A♣7♠5♠ flop was being revealed, Kelsall announced "Thirty-three three," as he was all-in for 33,300 in the dark. Ding instantly called off his 24,400 stack. Zaret thought it over for a while before he said, "Let's try to win a big one," and called.
Andrew Kelsall: A♠A♥6♥2♥ 
Biao Ding: 5♦4♣3♣2♠
Zachary Zaret: A♦K♥K♣7♣
Kelsall flopped the case ace for top set while Biao had the nut low and a wheel wrap. The board ran out Q♥8♠ as Kelsall and Biao chopped up Zaret's chips.

Richard Acovino opened to 2,500 from middle position and was called by Bryce Yockey in the hijack, Ben Lamb in the cutoff, and Allan Le in the big blind.
On the K♠9♣5♠ flop, the action checked to Yockey who bet 6,500. Lamb then potted to 31,300. The other folded, Yockey raised, and Lamb called all-in for 48,000.
Ben Lamb: A♠5♦4♣3♠
Bryce Yockey: K♥K♣8♥8♦
Yockey held top set against the nut flush draw of Lamb who also had the only backdoor low. Lamb immediately made his flush on the 7♠ turn. However, the dealer peeled the 9♥ on the river as Yockey filled up to eliminate Lamb.

: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Limits: 1,200-4,200
Brian Rast raised to 3,500 from early position and Andrew Ostapchenko three-bet to 15,500 from the next seat. When it folded back to Rast, he called.
Rast checked the 9♣8♥2♦ flop, and Ostapchenko jammed for roughly 7,000. Rast made the call.
Andrew Ostapchenko: A♦10♦3♣2♣
Brian Rast: A♠Q♣7♦3♠
Rast needed some help if he was to bust Ostapchenko. The rest of the board ran out 10♣K♦, and because no low was available, Ostapchenko took down the pot with two pair, tens and deuces.
