Chip Counts
The A♣7♥5♥7♠6♣ completed board checked over to Braxton Dunaway in the cutoff, who bet 15,000. Griffin Goodman called in the small blind, and Gary Bolden matched the bet in the big blind after some thought.
Dunaway showed K♠J♥J♣3♥2♠ for the nut low and a pair of jacks. Goodman had the same nut low with K♣J♠10♦3♣2♣, leaving Bolden to take half of the pot with K♦Q♦J♦4♣3♦ for a straight.
Button Christopher Wilson had already gone all in at a prior point in the hand, and had been called by Elie Nakache under the gun and James Schafer on the button, creating a pot of 47,000.
Schafer then got his 25,100 remaining chips in on the 10♣4♠6♠5♦ turn, and Nakache called to put him at risk as well.
Christopher Wilson: A♦Q♥10♦6♣2♥
James Schafer: A♣J♥J♦8♥2♣
Elie Nakache: A♠8♠5♠4♣3♥
After the 9♥ river, Nakache and Schafer chopped the side pot, but Wilson was the big winner as he won three-quarters of the main pot, with Schafer's nut low receiving the remaining quarter.
Picking up the action on the 3♥Q♦9♦J♠ turn, Alexander Ivarsson checked from the small blind to Joao Vieira on the button. Vieira bet 16,500 into the pot of 20,000, and Ivarsson called.
After Ivarsson had also checked the 7♣ river, Vieira moved all in for 52,500. Ivarsson mulled it over for a little while before he called off.
Vieira showed the nuts with K♥K♣10♠6♥4♥. Ivarsson had looked him up with A♠Q♠Q♥8♦3♣ for top set, but it was no good, leaving him with three big blinds in his stack.
On the 5♦2♣2♦K♠4♠ river, hijack Anderson Ireland was put all in by big blind Joshua Ray. Ireland reluctantly called, tabling A♠9♥7♥3♥5x for the wheel.
Ray also had the wheel, but A♣J♣6♠4♦3♠ gave him a higher straight to quarter Ireland, leaving him with ten big blinds in his stack.

Under the gun, John Racener checked the 6♦A♦5♥ flop to Chenxiang Miao in early position. He bet 10,000, and Nick Pupillo called in middle position, as did Alfie Adam in the cutoff. Racener came along as well.
The 2♠ then hit the turn. Miao sized up to 15,000. Pupillo and Adam still called before Racener check-folded. Miao then slowed down on the K♥ river and checked.
Pupillo moved all in for about 83,000, and Miao's cards swiftly hit the muck as the pot was granted to Pupillo.
Cutoff PJ Cha got his stack of 21,100 in on the 4♣Q♣10♠ flop, and was up against Terrance Reid in the big blind.
PJ Cha: A♣J♦4♥3♣2♣
Terrance Reid: A♦Q♥Q♦10♥4♣
Cha's flush draw completed on the 6♣ turn, and he scooped the pot when the 3♥ turn did not pair the board.
Meanwhile, Allen Kessler had grinded his way to a six-figure stack on this table, while Daniel Hirsh had around six starting stacks in his possession.
