From the small blind, Justin Gardenhire bet 15,500 on a board of 5♠10♠Q♠3♠. Prahlad Friedman called from the button.
The 3♣ rolled off on the river, and Gardenhire bet enough to put Friedman all in. The bet was for about 20,000, and after Friedman did some inventory, he made the call. Gardenhire showed a flush with A♠A♦8♥8♠, which was enough to win the pot and eliminate Friedman.
It only took a couple of preflop raises for Elliott Kampen to get all of his chips in the middle for his last 22,000. He was up against Barbaro Diaz who had been running well up to this point and that continued.
Elliott Kampen: A♠A♥K♠10♠
Barbaro Diaz: A♣J♦9♣7♥
The flop came Q♦6♠5♣ and Kampen's aces were still in the lead. However, the 8♥ on the turn gave Diaz a straight and Kampen was drawing dead to the 5♦ on the river.
The action was limped around to Alex Livingston in the big blind who made it 3,600 to go. He picked up four callers along the way and all five players saw a flop of Q♣J♣10♠.
The action checked through to the A♠ on the turn and the K♠ on the river. Senovio Ramirez was the last to act and finally tossed in a bet of 2,400. Livingston called and Christopher Sly also looked him up. Ramirez flipped over J♠10♦9♦4♠ for what turned out to be the nuts.
In multi-way action to the 10♥9♠6♥ flop, Jarryd Godena bet the pot and Eric Wang then moved all-in to force out the third player in the hand. Godena called and Wang immediately declared "I have a set".
Eric Wang: Q♦Q♣9♦9♥
Jarryd Godena: J♥9♣5♥4♣
Godena only had middle pair and a flush draw, which gained a lot of equity with the 3♦ turn. "Paid the board" Wang had requested and that's exactly what came with the 10♦ river. Wang doubled for 49,800 to put a dent into Godena's stack.
Noel Rodriguez raised and was called two ways on the table of what may have been the former chip leader in Daemon Richardson. The A♠10♠4♦9♦6♣ board was checked to the river on which Akihide Shimizu bet 5,000 as last player to act. Kyle Knecht reluctantly called and then mucked when he was shown the 8♣7♦6♥5♠ for the ten-high straight.
Level: 6
Blinds: 400/800
Ante: 800
Michael Rocco opened to 2,100 and was called by four opponents. They headed to the 10♦4♦3♥ flop on which it was checked all the way to Joe Ford on the button, who bet 4,000. Alex Difelice and Rocco were among those to fold while Alex Foxen check-called.
The 6♠ turn went check, check, and Foxen then check-called the K♣ river for 10,000. Ford tabled his K♠10♥10♣2♠ for a set of tens and that won the pot.
After four checks on a flop of J♠6♠3♦, the dealer put out the 10♠ on the turn. John Hennigan bet 7,000 from the small blind, which got David James to fold from under the gun, Jeff Madsen to call from middle position, and Eric Cohen to fold from the button.
Both players checked the 5♠ river and Madsen took down the pot with a flush holding 10♣9♠7♠2♣.
On a flop of A♠K♥7♦, Brandon Shack-Harris check-called a bet of 3,500 by Giuseppe Pantaleo before checking the next two streets including the K♣ turn and 2♠ river. Pantaleo checked it back this time and then flashed his cards for a second when Shack-Harris revealed the winning A♣Q♥J♥3♣.
"What did you have, like ace ten jack?" another player asked and Pantaleo nodded.
