David Smith limped in from the cutoff before Edward Jackson Spivack raised to 800 in the small blind. Dylan Lambe called in the big blind, as did Smith.
The flop came J♠8♦10♦ and action checked to Smith who bet 2,200. Both opponents called to the 3♣ turn.
Smith then bet 3,500 and Spivack and Lambe again called. All three players then checked the 2♣ river.
Smith showed 10♣8♣8♠6♥2♦ for a set, while Spivack had A♥K♣Q♠7♥3♦ for a low to chop up Lambe's chips.
Five players went to a flop of 10♥8♣4♥ where Antonio Seremet bet 3,700 from the hijack. Only Jonathan Will in the small blind and Stephen Moreschi in middle position called.
All three players checked the 7♠ turn. Action then checked to Moreschi on the Q♥ river and he bet 12,000. Will called, while Seremet folded.
Moreschi showed A♥10♦7♥6♥3♦ for the nut flush, while Will had A♠9♦6♦3♥2♥ for the nut low to chop the pot.
Benjamin Miner and Michael Kong went to the turn on a board of 2♣10♦9♠5♠ where Miner bet 6,000 from the big blind. Kong called in middle position and the 5♥ fell on the river.
Miner then potted to 18,200. It took Kong a few minutes to separate the chips to call from his stack, then another couple of minutes before he eventually tossed his cards into the muck and Miner took the pot.
Brad Ruben took his seat at the table as Sam Farha limped in early position, with Joe Ford also tossing in a call on his left. Steve Billirakis raised to 1,000 in the small blind, with Pomjun Cha making the call in the big blind.
Farha and Ford called and the dealer flipped over the 5♦9♣5♣ flop. Billirakis continued with a bet of 1,500 before Cha raised to 3,500. Farha and Ford quickly folded. Billirakis did not take long to send his cards into the muck, and Cha took down the pot.
Three players went to the turn on a board of 2♠3♣9♠8♦ when Zachary Hirst bet 2,100 from the button. Joseph Genova called in the big blind, as did Jiyang Gan in the hijack.
The river was the A♥ and Genova potted to 9,700. Gan quickly folded, but Hirst took a few minutes before also sending his cards into the muck.
Cary Aronson opened to 1,000 in middle position and Ilya Nikiforov called on the button. Aaron Maurer came along in the big blind and the J♣3♠2♣ flop was revealed.
Maurer checked to Aronson, who continued for 1,500. Nikiforov answered with a raise to 5,500, producing a quick fold from Maurer.
Aronson also let his hand go, as Nikiforov raked in the pot.
Heads-up on a flop of A♠A♦K♦, Jacobo Garza Ibarrola bet 1,200 from the big blind and Corel Theuma called under the gun.
The turn was the 5♣ and Ibarrola checked to Theuma, who bet 3,500. Ibarrola called to the K♥ river, where he led out for another 4,000. Theuma again called.
"Ace-queen," Ibarrola announced, but Theuma had A♥9♣5♥4♣4♠ for a full house as Ibarrola let out a big sigh.
"What did you want me to do, fold? I was drawing to a low, too," Theuma said.
