On a flop of 4♠7♠8♥, Diego Porta got his stack of 18,200 into the middle from the big blind against Dina Olano on the button.
Diego Porta: 8♦4♦ 
Dina Olano: 9♠9♥
Porta was ahead with top and bottom pair against the overpair of Olano. The rest of the board ran out A♠A♦, counterfeiting Porta's two pair. Porta was out and Olano added to her stack.
Roberto Martinez raised in middle position to 2,000, and only Jeffrey Berwick made the call, defending his big blind.
Martinez continued for another 2,000 on the 2♥6♦9♥ flop, which Berwick called.
It was the same strategy on the turn, as when Berwick checked, Martinez bet 2,000 for a third time. This time, though, Berwick upped the ante, check-raising to 8,000. Martinez called, and they headed to a river.
The dealer burned and turned the 9♣, and both players hit the brakes, checking one after the other.
Jeffrey Berwick flipped over A♣10♣, which was unable to beat the 8♥8♣ of Martinez.
Nicholas Sena-Hopkins opened to 1,600 in the hijack and was called by Salah Nimer on the button along with the small blind. Jacob Bazeley reraised to 8,000 in the big blind and was called by Sena-Hopkins and Nimer.
The three players saw a flop of 8♦5♣3♣ and the action checked around to the A♣ on the turn. Nimer was the first to take a stab at the pot with a bet of 3,200 on the turn. Bazeley called and Sena-Hopkins got out of the way.
The river was the 6♣ and both players tapped the table with four clubs on the board. Bazeley turned over K♠J♣ for a flush and Nimer flashed his A♠ before his cards went into the muck.
Shahabaldin Shirazi started the action with 1,800 from middle position. Kyosuke Nagami in cutoff and Bradley Berman in the big blind called to see the flop.
The flop came 3♣K♠4♦. After action passed to him, Nagami fired 1,600. Berman decided to stay on while Shirazi had seen enough.
The turn A♠ got Berman to lead with 4,500. Nagami took a few seconds before folding his hand and conceding the pot to Berman.
In a classic preflop race, Kevin Rand got his stack into the middle against Hirotaka Fukatsu and needed his premium pair to hold in the following showdown.
Kevin Rand: Q♠Q♦
Hirotaka Fukatsu: A♣K♠
The K♣8♣4♠ flop propelled Fukatsu into the lead, which grew further with the A♥ on the turn. The river was the 10♦ and that spelled the end for Rand.
Dmytro Bystrovzorov checked from the small blind to Antonio Saez in early position. Saez bet 5,000 on the 4♠2♥2♣8♦ turn, which Bystrovzorov raised to 15,000.
After some deliberation, Saez called to the 3♥ river. Bystrovzorov moved in his remaining 27,000 chips, sending Saez into another tank.
"Will you show me if I fold?" Saez asked, but he got no response.
Eventually, Saez passed his cards to the dealer, giving up on the pot. Bystrovzorov tabled 7♦6♥ for just seven-high, which received him some compliments from the table.
Four players saw a flop of 6♥9♦7♥, and Lucas Cullen bet 2,000 from the small blind. Jeffrey Zigulis called from the big blind, as did Brian Ksenak sitting under the gun. Alan Keating folded the button.
The 3♠ turn saw Cullen check, Zigulis bet 6,000 and both Ksenak and Cullen called.
Action checked to Ksenak who bet 12,000 on the A♥ river. Cullen folded, with Zigulis making the call.
Ksenak showed K♥Q♥ having rivered the heart flush, leaving Zigulis to muck.
Ksenak sat back with a healthy stack, having build it quickly after buying into the tournament this morning at the start of Day 2.
Raymond Dolan started the action in late position with a 1,800 bet and got three callers in Joshua Field in cutoff, and the blinds: William Kiser and Ryan Harris.
The quartet saw the flop of Q♦3♦5♠. After the blinds checked, Dolan shoved all-in for 15,500, which seemed to be enough to get three consecutive folds after.
Philippe Noble raised from under the gun to 1,600, and action was folded around to Riva Arthur on the button who three-bet to 5,500. Noble called.
The flop came K♠Q♣9♥, and Noble checked to Arthur who continued for 3,500. Noble called. The turn brought the 10♠, and again Noble checked to Arthur, who bet out for 6,000. Again, Noble flat-called.
Both players checked the 2♠ river, and Noble flipped over 10♦10♥ for a turned set, and Arthur's cards were sent to the muck, and the pot sent to Noble.
