Qing Lu made it 500,000 under the gun and Arie Kliper three-bet from the next seat to 1,260,000. Lu gave it plenty of thought before deciding a fold was best, and Kliper pulled in the pot.

A couple of hands later, Lu bumped it up to 425,000 on the button and Kliper was the lone caller from the small blind.

Kliper checked it over to Lu on the 3♦Q♥8♥ flop and Lu fired a continuation-bet of 400,000. Kliper just called.

Upon seeing the 9♥ drop on the turn, Kliper led out for 500,000. Lu folded, and once again surrendered the pot to Kliper.

Marc Rivera completed from the small blind and Qing Lu checked her option in the big blind.

Rivera started out with a check on the 6♦4♥K♣ flop and Lu decided to bet 200,000. Rivera came along with a call.

A 10♠ joined on the turn and both players checked to see the 4♠ complete the board. Rivera then fired out a bet of around 800,000, which prompted a quick fold from Lu.

Gary Herstein's stack has been heading in the wrong direction after losing three consecutive pots.

On the first hand, Herstein made it 325,000 to go from the small blind and Marc Rivera called in the big blind.

Herstein checked on the 3♠6♠7♦ flop before folding after Rivera fired out a bet of 400,000.

Next, Herstein made it 375,000 on the button and Rivera three-bet the small blind to 900,000. Qing Lu, in the big blind, squeezed her cards before four-bet jamming with the covering stack.

Herstein began patting the right side of his chest for around 20 seconds before reluctantly giving up the hand. Rivera immediately folded behind, and Lu collected the pot without a flop being dealt.

Then, Herstein made it 325,000 in the cutoff with Lu calling from the small blind and Arie Kliper defending from the big blind.

All three players checked the 6♥7♣7♥ flop to see the 8♥ turn. Lu checked, Kliper bet 510,000, and that was enough to get folds from both opponents.

Arie Kliper raised from late position to 300,000, and Kenneth Kim was the lone caller from the hijack. The flop arrived with K♣7♦7♣, and Kliper bet 225,000, receiving a call from Kim.

On the turn K♥ Kliper bet again for 780,000, and Kim called again.

The river 5♥ brought a check from Kliper, which ignited a bet from Kim of 400,000, and Kliper folded.

Marc Rivera raised to 1,700,000 from the cutoff with just 15,000 behind. Qing Lu called on the button and the flop came down 5♥7♠Q♦. Rivera's last chips got into the middle and Lu quickly called.

Marc Rivera: A♦5♠ All in
Qing Lu: A♠9♠

Rivera had outflopped Lu by pairing his five and just needed to dodge a nine to keep his hopes of winning a first bracelet alive.

The 4♥ turn and A♥ river changed nothing, and Rivera secured the much-needed double-up at Lu's expense.

Chad Lipton raised to 300,000 from middle position and Arie Kliper three-bet the big blind to 1,150,000. Lipton called and the dealer fanned the 4♦3♥Q♣ flop.

Both players checked to see the 5♣ arrive on the turn. Kliper fired a delayed continuation-bet of 875,000, and Lipton called.

Another round of checks followed the 6♥ river and Kliper took down the pot with K♦K♠ for an overpair.
