With around 30,000 already in the pot on a completed board of 7♦Q♠9♠3♦A♦, Vincent Giuliano was first to act from middle position and chose to place out a bet of 22,500. Tim Duckworth, who was seated directly to the left of Giuliano in the hijack, tossed in the call.
Giuliano flipped over a busted flush draw with K♠6♠, and lost the pot to Duckworth's A♣Q♦ for top two pair.
Jeremy Kerbel raised to 6,000 from late position and on the button, Drew "BetOnDrew" Gonzalez called while Denys Bazeliuk called in the big blind.
The flop rolled out J♥J♠Q♣ and action checked through to the K♣ turn. Action checked around to Gonzalez who bet 10,000 and only Kerbel called.
On the river 9♠, Kerbel checked over to Gonzalez who bet 27,000 and Kerbel folded his hand.
Thomas Winschel announced a raise in middle position and threw in 5,000. What he hadn't seen, though, was that a player had already raised to 5,000 before him. He was happy just to call, but as per the rules, he was forced to raise to 7,500.
Action then folded to Linus Goh in the cutoff, who, with his new information, put in a four-bet to 28,000.
The original raiser folded, and after a brief pause for thought, Winschel returned his cards to the dealer, abandoning his chips already in the middle.
Nicholas Pinguelo opened the action from middle position with a raise to 27,000, leaving himself just 2,500 behind. Sitting right next to him, Sorin Ionut Morariu made the call, and with no other takers, the two went heads-up to a flop of 8♦4♦J♥.
Pinguelo wasted no time and tossed in his last 2,500, which Morariu snap-called.
Nicholas Pinguelo: 10♣10♦
Sorin Ionut Morariu:A♦K♥
Pinguelo was ahead with his pocket tens, but the A♠ on the turn flipped the script, giving Morariu top pair. The 9♣ river offered no help, and with that, Pinguelo’s tournament run came to an end.
Action was picked up with roughly 200,000 chips in the pot on a board of 2♥4♠5♣7♣5♠.
Jeremy Kottler was in the big blind and he bet 100,000 on the river. Michael Rangel, who was in the cutoff, went deep into the tank, and the clock was called.
Rangel had a few seconds left before he flicked in the call and heard "I've got a straight", Kottler turned over A♠3♠ for a flopped straight, Rangel said "happy birthday" as he tabled the 5♥, Kottler responded back with "my birthday is not for another six months".
With two players seeing a board of 5♠7♠5♣ and 54,000 in the middle, Dario Dussan Guzman checked from early position and Loni Hui bet 18,000 from middle position. Guzman shoved with a covering stack and Hui called with 72,000 behind, putting herself at risk.
Loni Hui: A♥A♣ 
Dario Dussan Guzman: 10♥10♣
Hui's aces remained ahead of Guzman's tens on the 2♣6♣ runout, securing the double up.
The cards of Sylvain Naets were just mucked by the dealer while the chips were sent over two spots to Juan Pablo Nuno Sanchez on the button. Jordan Mazer mentioned "ace nine versus ace-queen, twenty six thousand five hundred" to recap the action.
Sanchez's A♦Q♥ were still exposed and they ended up best on the K♣6♦2♣7♥7♦ board.
"Are they listening?" Doug Polk asked tablemate Ryan Depaulo during a conversation about the so-called 'Poker Gods'
"I hope," replied Depaulo. "You can have your own conception of the Poker Gods."
"Jeez Ryan," said Polk. "We're half-way through level one!"
"What is God?" said Depaulo jokingly.
Getting back to the poker, Polk raised to 5,000 from under the gun and got two callers including Mario Rodriguez. The three players checked the J♠9♥7♥ flop and the turn was the K♦. Rodriguez check-called a 7,000 bet from Polk, with the third player folding.
The river J♥ also went check-check. Rodriguez tabled A♠10♣ but was pipped by the A♦Q♥ of Polk whose queen played and he took down the pot.
"You don't like to fold," Polk said to Rodriguez as he chipped up above 130,000.
