Alan Sternberg raised to 16,000 from early position and JC Tran three-bet to 45,000 from the next seat. Dellin Betances then jammed for 110,000 from the small blind, and only Tran made the call.
Dellin Betances: A♦K♦ 
JC Tran: J♥J♦
With the cameras gathered around the table, Betances vaulted into the lead on the A♠4♠6♣ flop after pairing his ace.
The 5♠ turn and 2♣ river changed nothing, and Betances doubled through Tran.
Matt Waxman raised to 16,000 in middle position before Noam Freedman three-bet to 42,000 in the cutoff. Waxman then moved all in, and Freedman called for 275,000.
Noam Freedman: J♥J♠
Matt Waxman: Q♣Q♠
Freedman found himself crushed by Waxman's queens as the flop came A♥3♣8♦, but he spiked the J♣ on the turn to make a set and take the lead. The river was the 8♣, and Freedman imporved to a full house to secure the double up.
Michael Banducci open-raised in the cutoff, and Gregory Lyumkis committed his last 50,000 or so on the button. Banducci immediately called, revealing the cards.
Gregory Lyumkis: K♠2♠
Michael Banducci: 7♣6♥
"Of course," Lyumkis muttered as the 5♣5♠6♦ flop presented Banducci with two pair. The 9♦ river and J♠ river did not bring a king on the felt, setting Lyumkis' elimination in stone.
Three players were all-in preflop and Renta Gatos was the shortest stack at risk, covered by both Shachar Haran and
Renta Gatos: J♠J♦
Shachar Haran: A♦A♣
Antonios Onoufriou: Q♥Q♠
The superior pocket pair held all the way on the 8♠5♥5♠3♠7♥ runout despite a sweat on the turn and Haran sent Gatos to the rail while doubling through Onoufriou for 380,000.
