On a board of 10♥2♣7♥A♥, Zhengpeng Liu checked from under the gun only to face a bet of 20,000 by Gregg Pugh out of the cutoff. Liu check-shoved for Pugh's remaining 64,000, causing Pugh to mull it over briefly before making the call for his tournament life.

Pugh's baby flush was in the lead against the top two pair of Liu. Pugh got a clean river in the form of the 9♦ and he doubled up, while Liu was left with just 35,000.

Action was picked up with Emery Martindale three-betting to 19,600 from the big blind, facing a raise from Mark Grimm in the cutoff. Grimm wasn’t backing down and responded with a four-bet to 55,500. Martindale took a moment, then made the call to see a flop.

The 2♠10♦8♥ flop saw Martindale check it over to Grimm, who continued with a small bet of 15,000. Martindale made the call, keeping things interesting.

Both players slowed down on the Q♠ turn, checking it through.

When the 4♠ hit the river, Martindale shifted gears and led out for 35,000. Grimm glanced at his cards and took a long look at his remaining stack, but ultimately decided to fold, conceding a healthy pot to Martindale.

Juan Duenas raised to 5,500 in early position and Patrick Liang three-bet to 15,000 on the button.

Unconfirmed Fred Durst fan John Dlubala, who had been telling a story about his favorite catfish dinner spot — "It's like seven plates but you get free sides" — went into the tank from the small blind.

"Holy sh**! So 5.5 and now 15?" Dlubala said before folding as Duenas called.

Duenas checked on the flop of 3♦8♥4♦ and Liang continued for 10,000. Duenas laid it down.
