Heads-up play was underway with around 50,000 in the pot when the flop came K♦K♥6♠. Dara Taherpour int he small blind bet and Randy Larson called.
Taherpour raised the 4♣ turn and Larson joined him again to see the river.
The river fell 6♦ and Taherpour raised once again. Larson considered his actions for a few seconds before mucking his hand.
Action folded to Omar Mehmood in middle position, who opened. Michael Solheim responded with a three-bet in the big blind, and Mehmood called.
Solheim continued on the 10♥8♦2♥ flop and faced a raise from Mehmood, which he quickly called to see the turn.
Both players checked through the Q♣ turn.
On the 2♠ river, Solheim checked again before check-raising Mehmood's bet. After a short pause, Mehmood made the call.
Solheim tabled K♣K♦ for an overpair, which was good enough to take down the pot as Mehmood's hand was sent into the muck.
Jorge Ufano raised on the button and was called by Benjamin Marciano in the small blind and Tsz Liu in the big blind.
Action checked to Ufano on the 4♦Q♣Q♥ flop and he continued for a bet. Marciano called and Liu folded.
Both players checked on the K♦ turn and Marciano checked a final time after the 4♣ filled the river.
Ufano went back to betting and Marciano looked him up. Ufano showed 10♠10♦ for queens and tens and Marciano sent his hand into the muck.
With around 90,000 in the middle and the board fully fanned out as A♦6♥Q♠4♣7♦, Jorge Ufano led out from the big blind. Tsz Liu, in middle position, responded with a raise.
Ufano took his time in the tank, engaging in a brief stare-down with Liu before eventually making the call.
Liu tabled 7♣7♥ for a rivered set of sevens, which was strong enough to take down the pot. Ufano could only shake his head as he mucked his hand.
Dennis Weiss raised from early position and action folded to Benjamin Marciano on the button who put in a three-bet. Weiss made the call.
On the 4♣2♦J♦ flop Weiss check-called Marciano's bet for the players to see the K♥ peel off on the turn.
Both players checked down the 9♣ river and Marciano tabled Q♦Q♠ which was good for the pot when Weiss mucked his cards.
Somasekhar Sanampuri raised from under the gun and called a three-bet from Michael Lipner, who was on the button.
Sanampuri check-called bets from Lipner on the 3♣10♦5♦ flop and 7♣ turn, but both players checked down on the Q♥ river.
Sanampuri turned over A♠5♠ for a pair of fives, but it was no good against Lipener's 8♥8♣.
Dennis Weiss in cutoff and Jorge Ufano on the button had already grown a pot of around 150,000 on a board of J♦K♠10♦J♠.
On the river Q♠, Weiss raised sending Ufano to the tank. Ufano took such a long time to consider his options, mumbling to himself, that Weiss had to call the clock on him.
On the final ten seconds, Ufano called and mucked his hand after seeing Weiss' 8♠6♠ for a backdoor flush.
Ufano, somehow shocked by the results, shook his head as the dealer pushed the pot to Weiss. Ufano finally said, "Nice Hand," prompting Weiss to reply with a smile, "You don't really mean that."
Michael Bellantoni opened from middle position and was met with a button raise from Somasekhar Sanampuri, which he called.
Bellantoni continued on the K♥A♠9♠ flop, and Sanampuri made the call.
The same action followed on the 10♦ turn, with Bellantoni betting and getting called once more.
Before the 5♣ river was even dealt, Bellantoni moved the rest of his stack into the middle and put himself at risk. Sanampuri called, and the hand went to showdown.
Bellantoni tabled 9♣9♦ for a flopped set of nines, while Sanampuri showed Q♥Q♠ for an overpair. The queens were no good, and Bellantoni secured the pot to stay alive and double up.
Vo Ngo raised on the button and called a three-bet from Christopher Adams.
Adams continued for a bet on the K♠9♠A♣ flop and Ngo put in a raise.
Adams fired back with a three-bet and Ngo quickly laid his hand down.
