Justus Marisco opened to 1,500 from early position, and Hannes Jeschka flatted from late position. Leo Margets then moved all in for 9,500 on the button. Marsico called, and Jeschka folded.
Leo Margets: K♥Q♦ 
Justus Marsico: A♠K♦
It wasn't to be for Margets, as the 10♥2♠3♥7♣9♥ runout sent her to the rail.
Also at the table, Jimmie Lucero has managed quite the spin up, turning his stack of just 400 chips to more than 13,000.
Leo Bernick opened to 1,600 on the button and Taiki Sato called in the small blind.
The 2♥10♣5♦ flop saw Sato bet 2,500 and Bernick made a quick call to get to the 9♥ turn.
Sato checked and Bernick bet 10,000 which saw Sato give up the pot.
Erik Seidel raised to 1,300 in the cutoff and Rafi Elharar called out of the small blind. They checked the K♥9♥6♥ flop to the 8♥ turn on which Elharar checked again. Seidel now bet 600 but folded when Elharar check-raised to 3,000.
Amin Hudda limped from under the gun before Preston Roberts raised to 2,600 from middle position. Mario Niciforo called from the big blind, and Hudda also came along.
After two checks on the J♦5♣2♠ flop, Roberts bet 7,000, and only Niciforo called to see a turn.
Niciforo check-called a second barrel of 14,000 from Roberts on the 6♥ turn.
A final check came from Niciforo on the 6♦ river, and Roberts jammed for 44,000. Niciforo went into the tank and, after thinking for around 90 seconds, slammed in the call.
Roberts confidently tabled K♦K♥ for an overpair, but to his surprise, and that of the rest of the table, he was behind Niciforo's 5♦5♠ for a full house.
Christopher Mason raised to 1,600 in the cutoff, which both Shaun McBride and Andy Park called in the blinds.
On a 2♠10♠J♥ flop, McBride checked, Park led out for 2,000, which Mason called, before McBride folded.
The 6♦ turn saw both players check before Park picked his betting lead back up on the 4♦ river, putting 4,500 into the middle. Mason wasted no time in calling, and Park flipped over Q♠Q♥, showing an overpair. It was no good, though, as Mason tabled A♥A♦, showing that Park avoided quite a disaster, should he have raised preflop.
Players were already heads up and on a 8♥2♣4♣ flop. The pot stood at around 14,000 with Anthony Nguyen in late position and Anthony Lande in the cutoff.
Lande was all in for his last 44,500 and action was on Nguyen to make the call or fold. Nguyen moved in a stack and showed his pocket tens, and he was ahead against Lande's suited ace-three.
Anthony Lande: A♣3♣
Anthony Nguyen: 10♠10♣
Lande was hunting for an ace, the straight or a club flush to stay alive, and the J♣ turn saw him take the lead. The 7♥ river locked him up the double, and he sat back with over 100,000 in chips after the hand.
Lande remarked after the hand, "I can't believe you called with tens," and Nguyen replied "Eh, what's 10,000 dollars."
