Paul Taylor made it 500 to go from middle position with Glen Cabusas calling from the small blind, and Daemon Richardson calling out of the big blind.
Everyone checked the 6♦2♠7♣ flop to see the 5♥ appear on the turn. Cabusas led out for 1,000, which only Richardson called.
Both players checked the 3♣ river and Cabusas revealed 8x6x for a pair of sixes to win the pot.
2002 Main Event Champ Robert Varkonyi jokingly put in a 400 blind raise from under the gun as a "straddle" and was three-bet to 1,200 by Paul Guilbeau from the hijack. Just behind him in the cutoff, Manuel Lopez made it 3,000 to go. Not to be outdone, Jonathan Snyder five-bet to 11,000 from the big blind.
"What have I started?" Varkonyi said as he folded.
Guilbeau quickly folded and Lopez said, "I don't think these are any good," as he open-folded pocket queens.
Snyder made no comment and slid his cards into the muck before collecting the pot.
Jon Kyte opened to 600 from the hijack and Matthieu Rodriguez three-bet to 2,200 from the cutoff. Kyte called.
The flop came 3♠Q♦10♥ and Kyte check-called a 1,200 continuation bet from Rodriguez.
Rodriguez fired a second barrel for 5,000 when checked to on the 4♣ turn and Kyte mucked his hand.
With two players seeing a final board of 5♣9♦2♠10♥5♥, Sebastian Zalazar checked from under the gun and Mingyew Liow bet 9,000 from his direct left. Zalazar called.
Liow could only show A♦2♦ while Zalazar had 6♥6♠ for two pair, sixes and fives to win the pot.
Action was joined with roughly 1,700 in the pot and a board showing 9♥4♣6♠.
Charles Phillips, in the small blind, checked, and Ioana Apostol placed a bet of 1,100 from the cutoff. Phillips put in a check-raise to 3,300, which was quickly met with a flop three-bet to 6,600, which he called.
The river 6♣ put an end to the action, as both players checked. Apostol showed A♥J♣, which was good enough to win the pot as Phillips flashed king-jack before mucking his hand.
Michael Coleman called in late position and Benji Tustin raised to 800 on the button which saw only Coleman call.
The flop rolled out A♦3♦J♣ and Coleman check-called a bet of 700 from Tustin.
Both players checked the 2♥ turn to the 8♥ river where Coleman checked over to Tusti who bet 1,200 and Coleman folded.
In the cutoff, Evan Biscow had three-bet an earlier open to 2,000. Joshua Hillock then made it 7,500 in the small blind, which only Biscow called.
Hillock continued for 4,5000 on the 2♦3♠10♥ flop. Biscow called to the 9♣ turn, where he bet 13,000 once checked to.
Hillock quickly gave up on the hand, surrendering the pot by sending his cards to the muck.
In a blind versus blind situation, Elvin Simpson in the big blind bet 1,700 on 10♦2♥Q♥ and William Oertling check-called.
Oertling led out for 2,500 on the 10♣ turn and was called, then bet 7,000 on the 8♥ river.
Simpson called but ran into Oertling's A♥10♥ for trips which improved into a flush on the river.
Alec Torelli raised to 500 from the cutoff and was called by Chong Fong on the button and Xixiang Luo in the big blind.
Luo checked to Torelli, who continued for 1,200 on the 3♥2♥J♠ flop. Fong folded and Luo called.
The 5♠ fell on the turn and Luo checked again. Torelli bet 3,000 and Luo responded with a check-raise to 15,000.
Torelli weighed his options, but eventually decided to fold and Luo was sent the pot.

Richardson had top pair with A♠K♦ but Hoitt had the best hand with 6♠4♣ for two pair to win the pot.
