Timur Margolin was all in preflop and at risk in early position against David Peters in the big blind who had the covering stack.
Timur Margolin: A♥K♣
David Peters: 9♥9♦
It was a fair fight, but Peters pulled far out into the lead on the 6♦9♠A♠ flop, improving to a set of nines.
Margolin would need runner-runner to stay alive, but the 3♠ turn and 7♦ river offered him no help.

Conor Bergin raised to 6,000 from early position, and action was folded around to Nacho Barbero on the button who tossed in his last 33,000. Bergin snap called.
Nacho Barbero: K♦K♣
Conor Bergin: A♦J♠
Not the flop Barbero wanted to see when it came 7♦9♥A♣ and when the 7♥ fell on the turn he was drawing dead to a king. No luck for Barbero when the Q♣ bricked out on the river and he was sent packing.

Christoph Vogelsang was seen getting up from the table after having been eliminated by Tom-Aksel Bedell.
A couple players at the table afterwards shared a recap of the action:
Vogelsang raised to 5,500 under the gun and Bedell three-bet to 16,000 in early position. Vogelsang then four-bet to 36,000 and Bedell called.
The flop came J♠3♦7♥ and Vogelsang continued with a bet of 19,000. Bedell raised to 55,000 and Vogelsang reraised all in for about 115,000 total. Bedel made the call with the covering stack.
Christoph Vogelsang: 10♣8♣
Tom-Aksel Bedell: A♣A♥
The board ran out Q♠, 4♠ and the sizable pot was pushed Bedell's way.

David Van Noy was all in preflop and at risk from under the gun against Ran Ilani in the cutoff.
David Van Noy: A♦Q♥
Ran Ilani: 8♣8♦
It was a fair fight but Ilani pulled ahead further on the 2♥8♥4♥ flop, improving to trips.
Van Noy still had outs with a flush draw, but the 2♣ turn left him drawing dead. The meaningless J♥ fell on the river.

Ilan Cukrowicz raised from under the gun to 5,000 and found a call in the cutoff from Neng Zhao. Connor Belcher in the big blind then decided to three-bet all in for his remaining 37,500. Both players called to create a juicy main pot.
The flop came 7♣5♦9♠, and Cukrowicz check-called Zhao's 42,000 bet. The players saw the 4♣ peel off on the turn.
Cukrowicz checked again and Zhao now bet out for 65,000 to which Cukrowicz responded with a check-raise all in of 191,000. This sent Zhao deep into the tank for 4-5 minutes, and he eventually released his hand.
Connor Belcher: J♠J♣
Ilan Cukrowicz: 7♥7♠
Belcher needed a jack to stay alive but got no help on the 6♦ river and was sent to the rail whilst Cukrowicz scooped both pots and a lovely start to the day.
