Limit Hold'em
Adam Owen raised on the button, Michael Estes three-bet from the big blind, and Owen called.
On the K♠Q♠8♠ flop, Estes led and Owen took a moment before he just called.
Owen called another bet on the 10♣ turn.
Estes slowed down with a check on the 9♣ river and Owen quickly checked back. Estes tabled 8♥8♦ for a flopped set, and Owen flashed the A♠ as he mucked.
Big O
Action was picked up on the river in a sizable pot between John Bunch in the big blind and Anthony Arvidson on the button.
The board read K♣J♥7♣5♥K♠ and the pot contained 525,000.
"All in," said John Bunch as he pushed forward his stack worth 230,000 and Arvidson went into the tank.
"Ok," said Arvidson said "I fold. I had it all. Hearts, low, open ended, and queens."
Bunch nodded as he raked in the pot, telling Arvidson that he had a king in his hand.
2-7 Triple Draw
Action picked up after the first draw three-ways as Adam Owen bet from the cutoff. Michael Wagner called on the button before Philip Wess raised from the big blind. Owen then made it three bets, Wagner folded, and Wess called.
Wess decided to stand pat and Owen needed one card on the second draw. Wess bet and Owen called.
Owen tried once more on the end but the action checked through as Wess tabled 8x7x6x5x3x which was enough for the winner as he scooped a sizeable pot multiway.
Badeucy
Yong Wang raised in the small blind and Dario Sammartino called.
Both players drew three and Wang bet to see Sammartino call.
On the second draw, both drew two and Sammartino called the all-in bet on the second betting round.
Wang stood pat while Sammartino drew two.
Yong Wang: 9♥8♣5♥4♦3♠
Dario Sammartino: 7♣4♥2♦ XxXx
Sammartino peeled a 5♦ first, to leave him with potential to get some part of the pot. His second card was a 4♠ and Wang's nine-eight and eight badugi was good to scoop the pot.

Big O
Action picked up on the turn with the board reading K♣10♥4♠K♦ in a hand between Casey Hayes from the big blind, and Shuofei Geng from under the gun. Each player committed 50,000 into the middle on the flop.
On the turn, Hayes led for pot of 184,000 and Geng put in the call after some deliberation.
On the 3♣ river, Hayes emptied the clip, jamming as the covering stack, putting Geng at risk for his final 285,000 or so.
After over a minute in the tank, Geng showed four of his cards with the A♥A♦4♥4♣, making fours full on the turn but folding on the river.
In response, Hayes windmilled the Q♦Q♣J♥2♠ into the middle, and his massive bluff got though as Hayes becomes the first player to reach the one million chip mark.
Big O
Action was picked up with cards on their backs between Shuofei Geng in the cutoff and Christopher McHugh on the button, with McHugh all in and at risk for 85,000.
Christopher McHugh: A♥5♠4♥4♣3♠
Shuofei Geng: A♠A♦10♦8♦7♠
The board ran out 6♥6♣2♣K♠Q♠ and the aces and sixes were good for Geng to eliminate McHugh from the tournament.
