Action folded to Vadim Shlez in the hijack, who announced "pot". Martin Finger then repotted on the button, and Shlez made the call. On the 7♥2♠9♦ flop, Shlez checked and Finger potted, putting himself all in for 165,000. After around three minutes, Shlez flicked in the chips.
Martin Finger: A♣A♦6♦4♣
Vadim Shlez: Q♣J♣J♦7♦
Finger did all he could, as he potted at every opportunity and got it in good. However, he couldn't beat lady luck, as the Q♥3♥ runout gave Shlez two pair, and he was eliminated.

Three-quarters of the table were off to a flop, as Michael Trivett, Tara Dunn, and Benjamin Eilers all limped from under the gun, middle position, and the hijack, respectively. Punnat Punsri called on the button, Sean Troha did the same from the small blind, and Robert Nehorayan checked his option.
The 4♦K♦5♦ flop was on track to check through, until Punsri bet out for 28,000 into the field. He succeeded in thinning it, as only Nehorayan called.
The 8♦ peeled off on the turn, and Punsri bet again when checked to, this time for 140,000. The dealer counted out the pot to ensure that it was a legal bet, and just moments after it was determined to be allowed, Nehorayan folded.

The flop came A♥A♣7♣ and both players checked.

Bryce Yockey found himself under the gun, and open-potted it to 42,000. Middle position player Didrik Mantor then repotted, to the tune of 144,000. Yockey slid in the call.
The J♦K♠9♥ flop checked through, as did the 10♠ turn, before action started to heat up on the river. Yockey put 63,000 into the middle, prompting Mantor to go into the tank. After just over a minute, Mantor then slid in a raise to 155,000. It was now Yockey's turn to tank, and he took even longer to think before finally placing in a chip.
Yockey waited to see Mantor's hand, and Mantor begrudgingly flipped over A♣K♥8♥7♣ for a jack-high straight, and Yockey showed that, despite any queen-x straight combo having him beat, he had called with nothing but the low end of the straight. He tabled K♦9♠8♦7♠ and the two chopped the pot.

Didrik Mantor raised the pot from the button to 42,000 only for Michael Reed in the small blind to re-pot to 133,000.
Mantor went into the tank and eventually made the call and the players saw a flop of 7♥8♥3♥.
Reed announced all in which after the count totaled 230,000. This sent Mantor into the tank again for 2-3 minutes before he eventually released his hand and Reed was pushed the pot.

Matthew Beck opened to 30,000 from middle position. Hijack George Abi-Zeid and Cutoff Michael Perrone both made the call, and the three went off to a flop.
Action checked all the way through to the river, as the board read 7♣7♠7♥6♠2♠ and Beck's flopped full house with 10♠10♣4♠4♣ was the winning hand, as he continued to add to his mammoth chip stack.
