Aaron Klausman: A♣Q♥J♦9♠
Pei Li: K♦J♣J♠3♠
Li was ahead heading to the turn with his pair of kings and the turn J♥ improved him to a set. The river 6♦ did not change anything and Klausman was sent to the rail.

Table 462 didn't know what was coming at the start of the day, less than 15 minutes after arriving. Just a few minutes within Level 16, a domino effect of all-ins occurred, starting with Robert Zipf opening to 21,000 under the gun.
Seated to his left, Federico Bossi three-bet to 50,000. The player immediately to Bossi's left, Dien Le, four-bet all in for 65,000, prompting Christian Harder, to his left, to five-bet all in as well, for 116,000. This led to Steve Moca, in the cutoff, to go into the tank to consider his options. With Bossi informing everyone that this hand was "going to be fun," Moca folded.
When action came back to Zipf, he announced all-in and Bossi snap-called, covering everyone. With the flurry of actions and stacks in the middle, the dealer announced he would figure the side pots after the hand was dealt.
Dien Le: K♠K♦Q♠8♦
Christian Harder: K♥5♥4♦3♠
Robert Zipf: A♠Q♥9♥8♠
Federico Bossi: A♣10♥9♣5♦
The board came 2♠7♠8♣2♦J♥. Bossi couldn't contain himself as he jumped for joy when the board was completed. Bossi caught a jack-high straight on the river and sent three players to the rail.

Nicholas Lee: A♦J♦10♦8♥
Joe Serock: 10♣9♥7♥5♣
Chorlian stayed ahead as the board revealed 6♥3♦6♣2♣J♥, turning his hand into trips to triple up while Lee took down the side pot with two pair.

Gregory Fournier limped under the gun, as did Assaf Zeharia from middle position. Joshua Tieman then raised the pot from the big blind, only to be re-potted by Fournier, which would force Tieman all in. Zeharia folded, and Tieman called.
Joshua Tieman: A♠A♣7♥5♥
Gregory Fournier: 10♣8♣4♠3♠
The board ran out Q♠5♦9♣4♦6♦, and Tieman's aces held strong to give him the pot and a double-up.
