Matthew Schreiber raised to 95,000 under the gun and Justin Liberto three-bet to 255,000 in the small blind. Schreiber then moved all in for 710,000.

Liberto took a minute as he counted out his remaining stack until eventually calling. He took two while Schreiber stood pat.

Schreiber showed Jx8x7x5x3x while Liberto had 7x4x2x.

"One at a time. Jack will be interesting," Schreiber said to Liberto, who did end up with a Jx on his first card.

Liberto peeled his last card but ended up with a 9x and Schreiber's J-8 held to earn him a double up.

Everyone took two and O'Dwyer check-called a bet.

Baldwin and O'Dwyer took two again and Glaser was pat. O'Dwyer check-folded to a bet from Glaser.

Baldwin went deep into the tank before he elected to pat the third draw. Glaser then had a difficult decision and opted to break his eight.

Eric Baldwin: 7x6x5x3xAx All in
Benny Glaser: 7x5x4xAx

Glaser made the right decision to break but he caught a 6x on the end and was pipped by Baldwin.
