Bryce Yockey moved all in for 37,000 from the small blind and Yevgeniy Timoshenko called in the cutoff, as did Allan Le on the button. Timoshenko then shoved on the 9♣4♣6♠ flop, and Le called for his last 35,000.
Bryce Yockey: A♠K♥J♣J♠3♥
Allan Le: A♦Q♠Q♣J♦2♣
Yevgeniy Timoshenko: A♣7♦6♣3♠2♥
"Wow, I'm pretty much already drawing dead," Yockey said once the cards were revealed. Timoshenko ended up with the nut flush as the board ran out 3♦10♣, while both he and Le and the same low and Timoshenko took three-quarters of the pot to send Yockey to the rail.
Yuhong Liu raised to 12,000 in the small blind. Luis Velador called in the big blind and called again when Liu continued for 15,000 on the 6♦2♥10♣ flop.
The duo then checked through the A♣ turn before the 6♠ river completed the board. Liu fired a bet of 58,000, winning the pot when Velador mucked his cards.
Lawrence Bradt bet 10,000 from the cutoff on a flop of 3♥4♥3♦ and Matthew Valeo called in the small blind.
Brandt bet another 25,000 on the K♦ turn, and Valeo again called. The river was the 10♦ and Brandt bet 60,000.
"I'm really supposed to jam that flop. This would be so nitty," Valeo said as he called once more, and Brandt turned over A♣6♣4♦4♠2♠ for a full house. Valeo flashed the 3♣ as he mucked and handed over the pot.
Picking up the action on a 5♠10♥6♦ flop, Ryan Miller checked from the big blind to Gus Hansen in the hijack. Hansen bet 48,000, which Ryan Hoenig called on the button. Miller tanked for a while before he folded.
The 7♣ turn saw Hansen quickly move all in for 90,000, which Hoenig snap-called to put him at risk.
Gus Hansen: A♣K♠Q♣3♦2x
Ryan Hoenig: A♥Q♦10♣9♥2♠
The 5♦ river changed nothing, seeing Hoenig take three-quarters of the pot.

Chad Eveslage bet 23,000 on the 8♦10♣2♦ flop from early position. Doug Lorgeree then moved all in for 86,000 in middle position, and Maximilian Schindler called all his 36,000 off on the button. Eveslage called as well, and the players showed down.
Maximilian Schindler: A♥9♥7♣4♦3♣
Doug Lorgeree: A♣8♠8♣4♥3♥
Chad Eveslage: A♠K♠J♦3♦2♠
Everyone made the nut low on the 7♥ turn, and Lorgeree's flopped set remained best on the K♥ river to receive the high half of the pot.
Phil Hellmuth was away from the table, and Hal Rotholz called him over as the cards were being dealt. He then opened to 8,000 on the button, and Carlo van Ravenswoud reraised to 32,000 in the small blind. Hellmuth put in his last 40,000, and Van Ravenswoud called.
Phil Hellmuth: A♥J♣10♠3♥2♥
Carlo van Ravenswoud: A♠A♣8♦6♦4♦
Van Ravenswoud was ahead with his aces as the flop came K♣4♥K♦. Hellmuth picked up a flush draw on the 5♥ turn, but he missed the Q♣ river and was sent to the rail.
"You called him over just to bust him?" tablemate Noah Bronstein said to Rotholz.
Picking up the action on a Q♥4♥10♠7♣ flop with around 100,000 in the middle, Benny Glaser checked from the big blind to Dylan Weisman under the gun.
Weisman bet 65,000, John Racener called in early position, and Glaser tossed in calling chips as well.
The 10♣ river saw Weisman size up to 70,000. Racener called after some time in the tank, after which Glaser quickly got out of the way.
Weisman tabled A♠Q♠10♦9♣2♦ for a full house, scooping the pot as Racener mucked his cards.
