Action was picked up on the turn with 9,500 already in the pot.
Cutoff Chase Rogers and Amit [Removed:550], on the button, were looking at a board showing A♦9♣5♣J♥.
Rogers checked to [Removed:550], who placed a bet of 13,000, which was promptly met by a check-raise to 30,000 by Rogers.
[Removed:550] wasted little time in folding, and Rogers added to his stack to take the early table chip lead.
With three players seeing a board of 3♥Q♦10♣ and around 2,800 in the middle Stephen Peppin checked from the small blind, Kenneth Cram checked from under the gun and Kelly Lucas checked from the hijack.
Peppin bet 2,000 on the A♦ turn and only Lucas called. On the K♠ river Peppin continued with a 5,200 bet and Lucas called again.
Peppin turned over the nut-straight with K♦J♥ to win the pot.
Hiroki Nawa opened to 600 from under the gun, Nico Schubert three-bet to 2,000 from the button and Nawa called.
The dealer fanned a flop of 6♦8♠2♣. Schubert continued for 2,000 and was called, then both players checked the 8♣ turn leading to the 3♠ river.
Nawa checked. Schubert checked back, but mucked his cards when Nawa flipped over 9♦9♥.
Action was picked up on the turn in a pot with 3,400 in the center, between Thien Le in first position and Kent Frampton on the button.
The board read 8♣10♣9♥6♥ and Le checked over to Frampton who bet 1,500, which Le called.
On the river K♣, Le checked once more over to Frampton who bet 2,200 and Le called.
"Good call," said Frampton as he turned over A♣Q♠ for ace-high.
"Ten," said Le as he tabled 10♦7♦. Tablemate Joao Vieira correctly pointed out to him that he actually had a ten-high straight as he raked in the pot.
Action was joined with a flop already showing 7♣J♦3♦, and 13,300 in the middle.
Button player Philip Saracino was engaged in an early battle against Troy Quenneville in the big blind.
Quenneville check-called a bet of 4,000 on the flop, before taking over the betting lead to the tune of 6,500 on the 9♥ turn. Saracino called, and the players moved on to the river.
Quenneville chose to check when the 5♠ was revealed, which prompted Saracino to put out a bet of 16,000. After some consideration, Quenneville elected to fold and was promptly shown the A♣ by his opponent.
Joseph Neiman raised to 600 in middle position, Vinh Bao called on his direct left, and Terence Etim called in the small blind.
Neiman fired out a bet of 1,400 when the flop came 3♣8♣10♣, Bao called and Etim folded. Neiman fired out another bet on the 5♦ for 2,000 and Bao called again.
Bao decided to bet 5,000 when the action checked to him on the 9♠, which got snap-called by Neiman, and Bao tabled 8♥8♠ for a set and scooped the pot.
Chris Moneymaker raised to 600 from the hijack and was called by Joseph Gargiulo in the big blind.
Gargiulo check-called an 800 bet from Moneymaker on the 10♦8♠J♠ flop and then announed a dark check before the 2♠ fell on the turn.
"Check dark?" the 2003 Main Event Champ said. "How about... 1,400?" Moneymaker then put in said bet.
"Let's make it 2,800," Gargiulo replied as he stuck in a raise. Moneymaker called.
Gargiulo then announced another dark check before the 8♣ completed the board.
"Check-raise then check in the dark? That's a new one," Moneymaker said. "Alright, lets see them." Moneymaker then checked behind and Gargiulo showed Q♠6♠ for a flush.
"That beats my pair," Moneymaker said as he sent his hand into the muck.
Michael Nelson called in the small blind and in the big blind, Alec Magdan checked his option.
The flop rolled out 6♦9♦2♣ and Nelson bet 400, earning a quick call from Magdan.
Both players checked the turn J♠ to the river 10♦ where Nelson checked over to Magdan who bet 800.
Nelson folded and the Michigan pro took down the pot.
