Action was picked up on a flop of Q♥3♣4♣. Two players had cards under their protectors and were looking at a three-bet pot that totalled 30,000 chips.
Robert Gittleman checked his action over to Tomasz Trelski, who bet out for 18,000. Gittleman then announced "raise," pushing in a single stack of 20 yellow 1,000 denomination chips. He then reached for more chips, and pushed forward the rest of his stack in an attempt to go all in, however this attempt was questioned by the rest of the table, who all had differing opinions on what the resolution should be.
In the end, the only person able to make a resolution, the floor, was called over, and stated that Gittleman's action was a min-raise. Trelski folded anyway.

: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Christopher Bolek began the action with a raise to 5,000 from middle position. Victor Wang called from the big blind to send the two to a flop.
Wang checked the 2♣J♠5♣ flop, which led to a bet of 3,000 from Bolek. Wang responded with a raise to 9,000 and Bolek called to come along for a turn.
Wang chose to bet 17,000 on the 4♦ turn. Bolek took some time before he announced he was all in. Wang responded with a call and cards were on their backs with Wang at risk.
Victor Wang: K♦J♦
Christopher Bolek: A♦3♠
Wang was ahead on the flop, but the turn was disastrous as it had him drawing dead making the 7♣ river meaningless as he exited the tournament.

Ksenia Shuali started the action with a 6,000 bet from middle position and got a customer in Milton Armstrong on the button taking them to the flop.
The flop dropped 8♣8♥6♥. Both players checked. On the turn, A♠ Shuali check-called Armstong's bet of 12,000.
Shuali checked the river A♥. Armstrong fired another 25,000 which prompted Shuali to ask, "You have an ace?" She ultimately folded and somehow other players on the table claimed they all had aces.
Armstong finally, replied, "I don't care what anybody else had but I had an ace-jack."

Colorfully-attired James Robinson — pick shirt, green shorts, blue suspenders, black and gray tie — bet 21,500 into an already sizable pot.
Loris Corbelli studied Robinson's river bet for some time before electing to call on a board that read: J♦6♠J♣A♣3♦.
Robinson showed A♥8♥, giving him two pair, aces and jacks, with an eight kicker. Corbelli flashed A♠3♣.

Raouf Jendoubi moved all in for his remaining 38,000 from under the gun, and action folded around the entire table, to Andy Mai in the big blind.
Mai moved in his stack to call, more than covering Jendoubi, and the players flipped their hands.
Raouf Jendoubi: 10♣10♥
Andy Mai: Q♥Q♠
Jendoubi didn't like his chances and stood from the table to watch the 8♥4♠7♥ flop, which brought in a small straight draw sweat.
The 5♦ turn and 9♦ runout wasn't enough and he was sent to the rail.

Pablo Varela got his chips in preflop against Kalan Shuttlewood and was at risk as they headed to a showdown.
Pablo Varela: A♦J♠
Kalan Shuttlewood: A♣K♦
Both players flopped an ace, but Shuttlewood's kicker was best on the A♠4♣9♥ flop.
The 2♠ was of no help to Varela, and the Q♣ was the wrong paint to send Varela out of the tournament.
