Frank Selldorff open-shoved his remaining 54,000 from under the gun before Roger Franco re-raised to 125,000 from middle position. Joseph Gotlieb made the call on the button, and the side pots were sorted. On a flop of 9♣9♥5♦ Franco checked and Gotlieb shoved. "I guess that's why I'm glad I didn't shove," announced Franco as he mucked.
Frank Selldorff: A♠Q♣
Joseph Gotlieb: 10♥10♣
The 4♥4♦ runout sent Selldorff home. Franco let the table know he folded ace-king of diamonds.

Joseph Craig moved all-in from middle position for 32,000 before action got to the two players in the blinds. Small blind Jinju Wu moved all in, covering both remaining players, and Leonardo Fernandez made the call from the big blind.
Joseph Craig: A♥K♥
Leonardo Fernandez: 10♠10♥
Jinju Wu: A♦10♦
The flop saw Fernandez find the one remaining ten in the deck, coming 6♦10♣Q♣, to take a commanding lead.
The 8♠ turn and 8♦ river improved Fernandez to a full house and sealed the fate of Craig, who vacated his seat and headed to the payout desk.

Stephen Tolbert started the action with a raise to 18,000 in middle position and Jason Bullock shoved for 65,000. It folded to Andres Sarria in the big blind who reshoved for a stack around 190,000 and Tolbert let it go:
Jason Bullock: 7♥7♦
Andres Sarria: Q♠Q♦
Bullock was in terrible shape for a double up but found a board 5♣7♠6♦5♠9♠ to give him a full house and the pot.

Gary Fisher raised from under the gun, and only Pablo Rossi got involved, moving all in for his final 20,000 chips. Action was back on Fisher, who made the call.
Pablo Rossi: A♥A♣
Gary Fisher: J♠J♣
A promising situation for Rossi, and the flop 8♠3♦10♥, kept him firmly in the lead.
The turn Q♦ gave Fisher extra outs to win the pot, now with a straight draw.
The J♦ was heartbreak for Rossi, as his opponent improved to a set and sent him to the rail.

David Grandin: Q♦9♦
The turn Q♥ gave Grandin some hope of taking the lead, but the river J♥ improved Singh to a straight, confirming his full double up.
