Alexander Carr raised to 1,600 under the gun, Kenneth Heaton flatted in early position, and Colin Robinson three-bet to 7,200 in the big blind.
Carr then moved all in for 55,000 total and Heaton quickly got out of the way. Robinson counted out his chips before reluctantly tossing his cards into the muck.
Matthew Zola raised to 1,600 in the hijack and Matthew Cannuli defended in the big blind.
The flop came K♦8♦7♣ and Cannuli check-called a bet of 2,000 from Zola.
The 2♥ turn went check-check, as did the 4♥ river. Cannuli tabled 6♣6♦ for a pair of sixes and Zola mucked.
Ryan Bambrick three-bet Rentaro Matsumoto's preflop raise to 4,800. Matsumoto shoved and Bambrick made the call.
Rentaro Matsumoto: Q♦Q♠
Ryan Bambrick: J♣J♥
It didn't take long for Bambrick, a two-time bracelet winner, to overcome the odds against him, as he flopped a set and held on through a board runout of 5♦J♠3♦A♦K♣. Matsumoto's flush draw after the turn proved to be unrealized hope.
Marco Bich raised it up from late position to 2,000 only to see Jacob Powers three-bet jam all in from the cutoff for 15,100. Bich thought for a while before he made the call.
Jacob Powers: K♣Q♦
Marco Bich: A♠Q♥
A clean runout for Bich with the 5♠2♠7♦J♥5x board and Powers was sent to the rail.
Allen Shen raised to 2,000 in the hijack, Graham Mathews flatted in the cutoff, and Fabiano Kovalski called in the big blind.
The flop came 9♦5♣9♥ and it checked to Mathews who bet 2,300. Kovalski raised to 7,000, Shen folded, and Mathews called.
The 5♦ turn went check-check, bringing the J♦ where Kovalski put out a block bet of 3,000. Mathews quickly called.
"Nice hand," said Mathews once Kovalski turned over A♣J♠ for two pair, jacks and nines with an ace kicker. Mathews showed Q♣J♣.
Bahar Musa raised to 1,600 from early position. Ran Ilani then three-bet to 4,100 next to act. The rest of the table folded and Musa made the call.
The flop came 2♠Q♠10♠. Musa checked. Ilani bet 7,100 and Musa's cards hit the muck.
Ayman Qutami raised to 1,200 from late position only to be three-bet by Raja Chirumamilla in the cutoff to 3,600. Qutami called.
The flop came Q♦3♥2♣ and Qutami check-called Chirumamilla's 3,000 continuation bet, and the players saw the 6♥ fall on the turn, which they both checked.
The river brought the 4♦, and again the action went check-check. Qutami flipped over his 10♣10♠ way behind to Chirumamilla's K♠K♦, who was pushed the pot.
Level: 6
Blinds: 400/800
Ante: 800
Hugo Dief raised to 1,200 under the gun and was called by Oliver Tot in the small blind and Marc Sanchez in the big blind.
The flop of 7♣4♥10♣ checked through to the 2♠ turn. Tot checked, Sanchez bet 2,500, and Dief folded. Tot raised to 9,000 and Sanchez called.
On the 8♥ river, Tot moved all in to put Sanchez at risk who had about 26,000 behind. Sanchez took a moment to look back at his cards before tossing them into the muck.
Kenny Hallaert raised to 1,400 from the cutoff, and Samantha Cohen then went all in and was at risk for roughly 10,000. Action folded back around to Hallaert who made the call and the players were off to the races.
Samantha Cohen: A♥J♠
Kenny Hallaert: 6♦6♥
The final board read 3♦Q♥10♠5♣J♥, securing a much-needed double-up for Cohen.
