Ricardo Sehnem raised all in under the gun for 13,000. Renan Bruschi, in middle position, was the lone caller.
Ricardo Sehnem: K♠K♦
Renan Bruschi: 6♥6♠
Bruschi flopped a straight draw when 8♠7♣4♥ hit, but Sehnem's kings held through the runout of 3♦2♦.
Sandipan Das led the A♠9♦5♦ flop for 6,500 out of the big blind and Bryan Norris called on the button. Das then bet the 8♣ on the turn for 31,000 and Norris went deep into the tank. After more than three minutes, Norris sent the cards into the muck.
Action picked up on an 8♦5♣2♠ flop in a three-bet pot between Josh Reichard in the small blind and Pierre-Alexandre Lessard in the cutoff with just over 26,000 in the middle. Reichard led for 8,500 and Lessard put in the call.
The 9♥ turn checked through to the 4♦ river which saw Reichard take some time before he put out a massive overbet of 92,000. Lessard would go deep into the tank before eventually tossing out calling chips.
Reichard tabled K♠Q♠ for the stone bluff, prompting Lessard to reveal his 10♣8♣ for the winner with his pair of eights.
"Wow," is all that the newly-minted bracelet winner Reichard could say as he sent the majority of his stack to the Canadian.
Christian van Doellen opened to 2,400 from the cutoff. Kyle Messner called out of the small blind, and Edward Mehnert joined with a call from the big blind.
All three players checked the 9♣8♠8♣ flop to bring the Q♣ turn. Messner checked before Mehnert bet 2,700. The wager was called by van Doellen. Messner took his stack of chips and slammed them towards the middle to go all-in for approximately 26,000. Mehnert and van Doellen folded to award the pot to Messner.
"I'm just trying to make dinner break, so I can brag to my wife," said Messner after he collected the chips.
With some 29,000 in the middle, the 7♠6♦3♥A♠ turn was checked by Derek Normand in the big blind. David Boyaciyan bet 15,000 and Normand called. That led them to the 4♣ river on which Normand bet 32,700.
Boyaciyan reluctantly paid it off and then mucked when he was shown the 9♠5♠ for the straight to the seven.
The hand was picked up on the river with the board reading 2♥10♠5♥A♠K♠ and Xiang Zou having raised all in for 110,000 on the button.
Kyle Grosshanten struggled to make a decision on whether to call. After some time, he threw a slew of chips forward.
Xiang Zou: A♣4♣
Kyle Grosshanten: Q♣J♥
Grosshanten's hesitation was jokingly mocked by the table, as he had a nice runout to the Broadway straight, but feared the possible backdoor flush.
"That wasn't a slow roll, right guys?" he asked his tablemates.
With a player limping in front of her, Adele Allinson raised to 3,600 in late position to see Joey Couden raise to 10,400 in the cutoff. On the button, Rishi Mirpuri raised to 22,300 and only Allinson called.
The flop rolled out K♣Q♥7♥ and Allinson moved all in for 18,500 total, prompting a sigh and a call from Mirpuri.
Rishi Mirpuri: A♥A♣
Adele Allinson: K♥K♦
It was all over on the turn K♠ to give Allinson quad kings and Mirpuri's aces were officially cracked, with the river 9♠ as a mere formality.
Rebecca Lakepool opened to 2,500 from middle position before Andrew Brinkley three-bet to 7,300 from the hijack, and Lakepool called.
On the Q♦7♦3♥ flop, Lakepool check-called a bet of 7,100 from Brinkley.
The 2♠ turn checked through to the 3♣ river as Lakepool quickly bet 10,000, and Brinkley flashed A♥K♦ as he disappointingly folded.
"I had you crushed," Lakepool assured him as she raked in the pot.
James Schaeffer shipped it for his final 11,000 from the hijack. Adam Baird went all-in on the button to isolate before the blinds folded to create a showdown between Schaeffer and Baird with Schaeffer at risk.
James Schaeffer: A♠K♦
Adam Baird: 8♣8♥
Schaeffer had a fighting chance to improve and double up, but the flop did not put out any offerings when it came 9♠2♦Q♠ to keep Baird in the lead.
The 5♣ turn, and the 5♥ river completed the board as Schaeffer was sent out of the tournament.
