Three players saw the flop come down K♣Q♥6♣. Everyone checked and the J♣ appeared on the turn. Brunson led out from the small blind, which Joe Ford called from early position, but Shaun Deeb folded from the button.
Brunson bet again when the 6♦ fell on the river, and Ford reluctantly called. Brunson tabled the winner with 8♣4♠3♣2♠ for a flush.
David Funkhouser open-raised from the hijack and saw Jennifer Harman defend her big blind. Harman check-called Funkhouser's bet on the 7♠8♠9♦ flop before both checked the J♥ turn.
Harman fired a bet on the 10♦ river, but mucked her cards when Funkhouser put in a raise. Funkhouser showed the table Q♣J♣ as he raked in the pot, leaving Harman with just over half a starting stack.
Todd Rodenborn limped from the cutoff. Jay Kerbel called from the small blind and Nicolas Milgrom checked his option from the big blind.
After two checks on the 8♠5♠10♥ flop, Rodenborn bet, which only Kerbel called.
Kerbal led out when the dealer dropped the 4♦ on the turn and Rodenborn called.
Both players were happy to check the 9♠ river. Kerbel showed K♥J♣7♣6♥ for a straight, and Rodenborn revealed A♣A♥6♠9♥ for an eight-six low, meaning they chopped the pot.
Four-way to the A♠7♣A♣ flop, it checked to Daniel Chio in the cutoff, who made a bet. Ryan Bambrick and Brian Rast called in the blinds, and Dragana Mackelprang stuck around as well, calling in early position.
The 4♦ turn saw Rast lead out after Bambrick had checked. Again, all players opted to stick around as they called to the 7♥ river.
Bambrick checked for a third time, after which Rast tossed in another bet. Mackelprang quickly mucked her cards in response before the other two players flicked in calls.
Rast tabled 7♦6♦3♣2♦ for trip sevens and the nut low, with Bambrick's 10♣5♦3♦2♥ claiming a quarter of the pot with the same low. Meanwhile, Chio's A♦K♥K♦J♣ for trip aces was good for the high half.
Ryutaro Suzuki raised under the gun with Nicolas Milgrom calling from the small blind, and Brandon Shack-Harris defending his big blind.
After two checks on the 3♠J♠6♦ flop, Suzuki bet. Milgrom and Shack-Harris called.
Milgrom checked the Q♠ turn and Shack-Harris bet. Suzuki and Milgrom called.
The 10♥ river checked through and Shack-Harris showed the best hand with A♠K♣5♥3♥ for a Broadway straight.

Five-way to a flop of A♦10♣6♥, it checked to James Chen in middle position, who bet out. Todd Barlow on the button was the only caller as Yehuda Buchalter, Daniel Negreanu, and Scott Clements all mucked their hands.
The K♠ turn saw Chen fire another bet, quickly getting a fold from Barlow and taking down the pot.
Todd Barlow raised from under the gun and Daniel Negreanu three-bet from middle position. When it got back to Barlow he called.
Barlow check-called Negreanu's bets on every street on a board of 3♠Q♣10♦3♣8♠. Negreanu showed aces with A♥A♦K♥10♠, and Barlow showed aces also with A♣A♠10♥6♦, meaning they chopped the pot.
Justin Saliba raised preflop, and Robert Mizrachi three-bet. It folded back to Saliba, who called to the 8♥5♣Q♣ flop, where he check-called Mizrachi's continuation-bet.
The players followed the same recipe on the 8♠ turn before they both checked the 10♦ river.
Saliba tabled A♥K♥K♦Q♠ for kings and eights, and won the pot when Mizrachi mucked his cards.
During the hand, Jeffrey Vaughn's agonizing yells of defeat could be heard across the Paris tournament area as he was the first player to leave the tournament empty-handed.
