Brian Battistone limped from the hijack before Matt Glantz raised to 22,000 from the button. Jeff Madsen called out of the big blind and Battistone also called.
The flop came down K♣3♦2♥ and Madsen led out for 27,000. Battistone called, but Glantz opted to fold.
Upon seeing the 9♠ appear on the turn, Madeen bet roughly 100,000, prompting an instant fold from Battistone.

After two limps in front of him, Veerachai Vongxaiburana raised to 22,000 in the hijack and both Ari Engel under the gun and Dennis Weiss in middle position called.
The flop came 9♦8♠4♠ and Engel moved all in for 41,000. Weiss also stuck in his last 45,000, and Vongxaiburana called to put both players at risk.
Ari Engel: A♥5♣4♥3♣2♠
Dennis Weiss: A♣7♥6♠4♣2♦
Veerachai Vongxaiburana: A♦J♠9♥8♦2♣
Vongxaiburana was ahead with top two pair as the Q♥ turn and K♦ river failed to improve either Engel or Weiss, sending both of them to the rail.
"I thought the break might slow you down," a tablemate said to Vongxaiburana.
"I've been up and down," Vongxaiburana replied.

Zachary Hirst three-bet to 22,000 in the cutoff and Anthony Zinno called under the gun, as did Jonathan Bowers in the hijack.

Zachary Hirst: A♠9♠6♦4♦2♠
Anthony Zinno: A♥K♣5♥3♥2♦
Hirst was ahead with aces and nines against Zinno's aces and fives, but Zinno caught the 5♠ on the turn to make a full house. The river was the K♠ and Hirst was sent to the rail.

Igor Zektser limped from the cutoff and Gary Friedman raised the 16,000 out of the smal blind with just 1,000 behind. John Hennigan called from the big blind, but Zekster limp-raised to 64,000. Friedman put in his last 1,000, and Hennigan made the call also.
Once Hennigan saw the flop come down 8♦8♠A♠, he jammed for his last 35,000. Zekster instantly called and the cards were revealed.
Gary Friedman: Q♠4♦3♣3♠2♦
John Hennigan: A♦6♣4♥3♦2x
Igor Zektser: A♥A♣K♣5♥2♥
Zekster had flopped aces full and would eliminate two players if he could fade the low draw coming in. The remainder of the board ran out Q♦9♥ and Zekster won the pot, busting both Hennigan and Friedman.
