Dario Dussan Guzman shoved for 24,000 from early position and Loni Hui called from middle position with a covering stack to put him at risk.
Dario Dussan Guzman: K♣J♥ 
Loni Hui: 8♥8♦
Guzman was a big favorite after making top pair on the 9♣4♦J♣ flop but Hui improved a set on the 8♠ turn. Guzman was drawing dead and made his exit after the A♣ river fell.

Teusl had the better ace, but the board ran out A♦2♣4♦6♦Q♠, pairing Henry’s six and giving him two pair. With that, Teusl was eliminated, while Henry stacked up a few more chips.

Gregory Zarefes kicked things off with a raise to 6,000 from early position. Romain Locquet then elected to three-bet to 24,000 from the small blind, which Zarafes called.
The dealer revealed the 2♦4♥K♥ flop and Zafares, not first to act, checked.
Someone at the table asked for a ruling on whether Zafares would be held to his check if the action didn't change. The dealer confirmed he would.
With this new information in mind, Locquet continued with a bet of 15,000.
Zarafes folded, prompting Locquet to say, "That was a weird situation".

Mario Rodriguez raised to 5,500 in early position and Harish Gadre called before Jack Bittker three-bet to 20,000 on the button. Rodriguez called and Gadre folded.
Rodriguez checked on the flop of J♠5♥Q♣ and Bittker sized down to 11,000. Rodriguez called. Rodriguez checked again on the 6♥ turn and Bittker checked back.
Rodriguez checked once more on the 9♥ river and Bittker bet 45,000. "Ace-king of hearts, really?" Rodriguez said before calling.
Bittker showed aces with A♦A♣ and it was good to win the pot.
As the hand played out, a dealer named Lynn from Texas rotated into the table and told Doug Polk about the time she gave him a hard time at The Lodge in Austin during a $50,000 added Ladies Tournament. Polk remembered but it took him a moment.
"Do you remember when I harassed you in your room?" Lynn asked.
"In my room?" Polk reacted. "Oh at The Lodge. I remember."
