Limits: 4,000-14,000
Jon Turner potted the button to 14,000 and Scott Baumstein called in the big blind.
On the 10♦6♦4♥ flop, Baumstein led and Turner called all-in for 24,000.
Jon Turner: A♠Q♦10♥4♦ 
Scott Baumstein: 10♠8♣5♠2♣
Baumstein hit top pair but Turner was ahead with two pair. It was short lived, however, as Baumstein found the 5♣ on the turn to make a better two pair and a low. The K♣ river changed nothing as Turner hit the exit at the hands of Baumstein.

Kane Kalas: A♦5♥5♠2♦
Johannes Becker: K♥K♠8♠7♥
Kevin Gerhart: A♥Q♥4♥2♣
The runout of J♦9♥Q♠6♦8♣ meant Becker won the pot with his pair of kings and almost tripled up, while Kalas headed for the ext.

Limits: 4,000-14,000
Michael Korody made it 11,000 from under the gun and Brad Ruben three-bet to 40,000 on the button. Korody called.
On the flop of 3♠J♠10♣, the remainder of Ruben's stack of roughly 150,000 got into the middle with Korody trying to eliminate him.
Brad Ruben: A♦A♣K♦7♣
Michael Korody: A♠9♦4♦5♠
Korody had a flush draw against Ruben's pocket aces. The 9♣ turn gave Korody a few more outs, and the 5♣ river may have improved Korody to two pair, but Ruben hit a backdoor flush to win the pot and double-up.
While pulling in his newly earned chips, Ruben's neighbour made sure to let everyone know that he [Ruben] is "So f%#king lucky". After this statement, Ruben did confirm that he is "So f&#king lucky".

Limits: 4,000-14,000
Ren Lin opened from the cutoff and Johannes Becker called in the big blind.
On the 10♦8♠5♣ flop, the rest of Lin's chips got into the middle as he was all-in for 39,000, including the preflop bet.
Ren Lin: A♠A♥6♠5♥
Johannes Becker: A♣J♦8♣4♠
Lin had an overpair with fives against the middle pair and better low draw of Becker. The 9♥ turn kept Lin in position to scoop, until the 8♥ river gave Becker trips as Lin hit the rail.

Action was picked up on the river in a blind battle between Daniel Negreanu in the small blind and Ronald Keijzer in the big blind, with each player having 25,000 in front of them.
With the board reading 10♦4♠4♦9♠3♦, Negreanu checked to Keijzer who announced a bet of 40,000.
Immediately, Negreanu stood up and announced, "They keep trying to bluff me!"
He looked over to Mike Matusow at another table as he continued, "Can you believe that Mike? Every hand they try to bluff, unless you made a flush or full house or something."
Negreanu counted out calling chips and placed them into the middle.
Ronald Keijzer: A♦10♣5♣4♥
Daniel Negreanu: A♠A♣K♦6♠
Keijzer had flopped a full house and got paid on the river by Negreanu who did not believe him.
"Pretty good flop there for ya, bud," added Negreanu in the post-mortem.
