Jyri Merivirta potted the hijack to 5,500 and Sam Soverel called from the big blind.
On the J♣7♥4♣ flop, Merivirta got his last 9,500 in the middle against Soveral.
Jyri Merivirta: A♦10♦8♣6♣ 
Sam Soverel: A♠J♠9♠3♦
Merivirta had a flush draw and gutter against the top pair and superior low draw of Soverel. The board ran out 9♥9♣ as Merivirta made his flush but it was no good against the full house of Soverel as he hit the exit.

Calen McNeil opened to 3,000 in early position and Ismael Bojang defended his big blind.
On the K♠9♣2♣ flop, Bojang opted to lead for 3,500. McNeil inquired how much Bojang was playing before he asked for the rest and Bojang was all-in for 26,500.
Ismael Bojang: K♦J♦9♦7♠
Calen McNeil: A♥K♣5♠5♥
McNeil was in rough shape against Bojang's hand on the 6♣ turn. McNeil had just five outs to eliminate Bojang and many to chop, but he found the perfect A♠ on the river to make a better two pair and eliminate Bojang.

Daniel Blum opened to 4,000 from the cutoff, Jake Liebeskind potted to 14,500 from the button, Blum repotted, and Liebeskind was all-in for 49,000.
Jake Liebeskind: A♦A♣8♣4♥
Daniel Blum: A♠J♣4♠2♦
The J♦10♠3♠ flop was a sweaty one as Blum made top pair and the nut flush draw. However, the board ran out 9♦7♦ and Liebeskind scooped as no low was possible.

Thomas Taylor raised to 4,000 from early position with only Paul Volpe calling from the big blind.
On the 10♥6♣3♦ flop all of Volpe's 16,000 chips got into the middle with Taylor trying to bust him.
Paul Volpe: Q♠Q♥4♣2♥
Thomas Taylor: A♥8♦4♦3♠
Volpe managed to win with a pair of queens as the 9♥ turn and J♠ river didn't help Taylor, meaning Volpe doubled up through Taylor.

Aaron Kupin from under the gun and Phil Ivey from the cutoff were tangled in a pot heads-up.
On the A♦Q♦4♠ flop, a raising war broke out between the two which resulted in Kupin being all-in for 98,000 total, including the preflop bets which were missed.
Aaron Kupin: A♠A♥9♠7♠
Phil Ivey: A♣10♣6♦2♦
Kupin held top set against the flush draw and superior low draw of Ivey. The 5♠ turn gave Ivey the low before the 3♦ river gave Ivey the flush for the scoop.
