Denis Strebkov raised under the gun and Jonathan Lemone moved all in for 50,000 from the cutoff. David Shmuel called in the big blind as well.
The K♥8♥3♥ flop checked through to the Q♠ turn which saw Shmuel lead and Strebkov called.
On the 3♣ river, Shmuel led again to put Strebkov all-in. Strebkov made his discomfort known as he pondering his decision. He eventually shook his head and flicked in his last two chips to call for 50,000.
Denis Strebkov: A♠K♦7♥4♥
Jonathan Lemone: Kx8♣Xx2♦
David Shmuel: 8♦3♠2♥2♣
Shmuel rivered a full house as Strebkov's baby flush was no good and Lemone just flashed his cards before he mucked as Shmuel collected two eliminations.

Action was picked up on the flop in a three-way pot between Eric Polirer, Todd Hatch in the hijack, and Kevin Cote on the button.
The flop rolled out 7♥J♦K♣ and Polirer bet which Hatch responded to by calling. Cote raised, Polirer raised on top and Hatch called again. Cote raised once more and Polirer called, as did Hatch, putting himself at risk.

Christopher Vitch: A♣J♠5♦4♦

Vitch rivered a flush against the flopped trips of Miller as Hubbard hit the rail and Vitch scooped a huge one.
After battling for much of the last level and a half, Ray Fishman was once again tied up in hand with Jason Adams blind-on blind.
With the completed board reading 9♣6♥6♣K♦4♠ and each player with 40,000 in front of them, Fishman checked to Adams who immediately announced bet.
"Just pay me off one time. You don't need the chips," pleaded Adams.
After some deliberation, Fishman tossed in the call.
Jason Adams: Q♦8♣7♥3♦
Ray Fishman: A♥Q♥J♠9♥
Adams was bluffing with a missed straight draw while Fishman called river with just nines and sixes.
"Give it back to daddy. Ship it to daddy!" exclaimed a proud Fishman who won this round against Adams.

Eric Polirer: A♠7♦6♠4♦
The players were chopping the pot at the time they went all in, but the river 7♥ paired up with Holirer to give Hatch a better low with his live deuce to double.
