Aram Zobian raised to 700 from the cutoff, and Maurice Hawkins smooth called from the big blind. The flop came out monotone with 3♠8♠2♠, and Hawkins checked to the raiser, who bet 400.
On the turn Q♠, Zobian kept up the aggression and bet 1,100 after Hawkins checked. Hawkins called the bet.
Both players checked the river K♣, and Hawkins tabled A♦Q♣, for a pair of queens, and Zobian showed K♦6♦ for a pair of kings and the win.
Olivier Brodeur shoved his full stack in on a board reading 4♣6♠9♣10♥ before being quickly called by Yunkyu Song.
"I have a straight," announced Brodeur, as he tabled his cards.
Olivier Brodeur: 7♠8♣ 
Yunkyu Song: Q♠Q♣
Yunkyu Song stood up from his chair and chucked his chips over to Brodeur as he realised that he was dead in the water. The A♣ river changed nothing.
There were roughly 12,000 chips in the pot on a board of 3♣J♠Q♠A♣6♠. Luis Yepez Carmona in the cutoff checked to Jonas Mackoff on the button who decided to overbet to 16,500.
Carmona thought about his decision for around three minutes before he made the call. Mackoff tabled the second nuts with K♠5♠, and Carmona mucked his hand.
During the second level of the day, action was picked up as Francisco Benitez raised to 2,500 from the big blind position and Henao called from the button. Things got very interesting from this point.
As the dealer fanned out the flop of A♥3♦10♣ there was an extra card 6♠, the floor was called to deliver a ruling. The floor ruled that the cards were to be mixed and he picked out a burn card. The flop was rearranged and the 10♣ was the burn card. On a new flop of A♥6♠3♦ Benitez bet 1,200 and Henao called.
The 4♥ hit the turn and both players checked their option.
A Q♥ completed the board of a very interesting hand and Benitez bet 1,600 and Henao folded. Shortly after, Henao was eliminated from the tournament.
