Three players saw the flop come down 3♥3♠2♥. Anton Smirnov checked from the small blind, and Xixiang Luo bet 700 out of the big blind. Anthony Zinno also called from middle position and they went three-ways to the turn.
After Smirnov checked the 6♠ turn, Luo fired out another bet, this time for 3,500. Zinno folded, but Smirnov stuck around with a call.
Two checks followed the 4♥ river and Smirnov revealed 8♣4♣2♣2♠ for a full house with a eight-six low. Luo showed A♠Q♦J♦4♦ for an inferior high but a better low, meaning they chopped the pot.

Nick Guagenti limped from early position before Robert Mizrachi made it 1,500 on the button. In the big blind, Brian Breck three-pot pot to 5,100 and Mizrachi called.
On the A♣7♣6♠ flop, Breck potted, Mizrachi shoved for around 16,000, and Breck called.
Robert Mizrachi: A♠K♠5♥3♦ 
Brian Breck: A♦6♣4♥2♥
Breck was in good shape with two pair and the better low draw. Mizrachi paired on the 5♠ turn but the 10♣ river was a brick as Breck had the better two pair and only low to eliminate Mizrachi.

David Prociak: Q♠J♠8♣7♠
Matthew Wantman: K♥K♣Q♥6♣
Prociak held the nut straight on the flop while Wantman had top set. No waiting was required for Wantman as the 10♣ immediately landed on the turn to give him a full house as Prociak was drawing dead to the 8♥ river.

Justin Liberto opened the hijack to 1,000 and Gary Benson called from the big blind.
On the Q♣6♣5♥ flop, Liberto continued for 1,800 and Benson called.
The 9♦ turn checked through to the 9♠ river which saw Benson lead for 5,500, and Liberto did not take long before he flicked in the call. Benson tabled A♣9♥3♠2♥ for trip nines, as his nut-low draw on the flop turned into trips by the river as he scooped the pot.

Dario Sammartino raised to 1,200 from early position before Michael Korody three-bet to 4,200 from the cutoff. When it got back to Sammartino, he four-bet to 12,600 and Korody called.
Both players checked the 2♥4♦3♣ flop to see the 7♥ appear on the turn. Sammartino bet 15,000, and after a few moments, Korody jammed for 54,500. Sammartino went into the tank for over two minutes, shaking his head, staring Korody down. In the end, Sammartino made the call.
Michael Korody: A♥5♠4♠3♦
Dario Sammartino: A♦A♠6♣2♣
Korody had flopped a wheel and looked poised to earn the full double-up, if he could fade a five on the river. The river was the Q♦ prompting Korody to jump out of his chair and shout "Let's go baby!" as he scooped the pot with a wheel.
