Frank Marasco opened to 40,000 from under the gun and saw Matthew Blagg call on the button and Jarod Ludemann defend the big blind.
The 3♣J♠Q♦ flop was checked to Marasco who bet 40,000 and only Ludemann called.
A 7♥ prompted another check from Ludemann, and Marasco bet 250,000. Ludemann gave up and mucked his hand, allowing Marasco to stack up even more chips.

Justin Lapka raised from the button to 150,000, leaving a 5,000 chip behind. Spencer Champlin three-bet to get that last chip in from the small blind and fold out the big blind. Lapka called.
As the players flipped over their cards, Lapka announced, "Always a pair, man."
Justin Lapka: K♣10♦ 
Spencer Champlin: Q♥Q♣
The board dropped with K♥6♥10♥K♠4♦, and trip kings saved Lapka.

Brant Jolly was in the big blind and stood at his table after he was all in for his remaining 30,000. He was up against Lifu Zhang in the cutoff, and the cards had just been flipped over.
Brant Jolly: 9♣4♦
Lifu Zhang: K♣Q♥
The 5♠A♥6♥ flop saw Jolly pick up a backdoor straight draw, but the K♥ turn left him with no outs. He was eliminated after seeing the 4♥ river, sending him swiftly to the rail.

Giuseppe Pantaleo raised to 40,000 from the hijack, only to face a three-bet from Michel Molenaar in the cutoff to 140,000. Julius Jung, in the small blind, made the call, and after tanking for a while, Pantaleo also came along for the ride.
On the 3♠10♠2♦ flop, Jung jammed all in for 660,000, which sent Pantaleo back into the tank before he made the call for less. Molenaar snap-called and had both players covered.
Giuseppe Pantaleo: J♣J♦
Julius Jung: Q♥10♥
Michel Molenaar: Q♠Q♦
When the dealer peeled off the Q♣ as the turn, it left Pantaleo and Jung drawing dead. The 9♦ river sealed the deal, sending Molenaar the monster pot and both Pantaleo and Jung to the cage.

Michel Molenaar raised from the button to 45,000, and Julius Jung defended his big blind. The flop came out 3♠6♥7♥, and Jung decided to rep the big blind special, leading out for 45,000. Molenaar called.
On the turn 7♠, Jung continued the narrative and bet out 90,000. Molenaar called.
The river A♣ brought out another bet from Jung for 245,000. Molenaar went into the think tank for a few minutes and eventually called.
He then heard the words everyone wants to hear when making a big call on the river for a massive piece of their stack.
"Good hand," Jung stated, and flipped over 9♦5♦ for his missed draw. Molenaar turned over K♠6♠ for two pair.

David Rees was in the hijack and in a three-way pot with Cherish Andrews in the cutoff and Julien Duveau on the button. The pot stood at around 400,000, and the players were looking down at a 8♥3♠6♦ flop.
Action was checked around the table to see the 10♥ turn, which prompted Rees to check, Andrews to bet 200,000, and Duveau to fold. Rees made a slow call, and the players went heads-up to the A♦ river.
Rees checked, which prompted Andrews to move all in, putting her remaining 700,000 at risk. Rees took some time before reluctantly throwing his hand into the muck, allowing Andrews to stack up a huge pot without getting to showdown.

Action folded to Justin Lapka in the small blind, who open-jammed all in for his last 155,000. Spencer Champlin, in the big blind, peeled his cards slowly and snap-called.
Justin Lapka: J♠4♥
Spencer Champlin: 5♣5♠
No help for Lapka on the 2♥K♥10♣ flop, and it was looking grim for him when the 8♣ peeled off on the turn. However, the poker gods were feeling kind, and the dealer rolled over the J♥ as the river to make Lapka a higher pair and send him the pot to stay alive.
