Maximilian Schindler raised in the hijack, Kristopher Tong reraised in the small blind, and Schindler called.
Tong bet on the 8♠6♦4♥ flop and Schindler called. Tong then bet again on the 8♥ turn, and this time Schindler folded.
The next hand, Marco Johnson raised in the hijack and Tong reraised again on the button. Johnson called and the flop came K♣3♥2♣.
Tong then bet and Johnson folded. "Must be the infrared," Tong said as he flashed the K♠.
Scott Seiver and Walter Chambers then went heads-up in a blind versus blind battle to the turn with the board showing 9♦J♠8♥9♣. Chambers then led out with a bet and Seiver called.
Chambers bet again on the 7♠ river and Seiver took a minute before calling. Chambers turned over J♦10♥ for a straight and Seiver mucked.
The next hand, Kristopher Tong limped in and Alex Livingston attempted to three-bet. "I was going with my No-Limit iso size," Livingston said as he took back some chips. PJ Cha then put in his last 100,000 in the big blind and Livingston called.
PJ Cha: Q♥Q♦ 
Alex Livingston: A♣10♥
Cha was ahead with his queens, and Livingston couldn't catch up on the K♠K♥7♥2♠2♦ board as Cha doubled up.
