William Kerkaert bet 75,000 from under the gun on a flop of 3♠9♥7♣ and Doug Lorgeree raised to 275,000 in the hijack. Kerkaert tanked for several minutes before calling.
The turn was the 5♥ and Lorgeree bet another 350,000. Kerkaert again took several minutes to consider the decision, but this time he gave up his hand and surrendered the pot to Lorgeree.
Dan Shak recently busted at another table.
Level: 22
Blinds: 15,000/30,000
Ante: 30,000
Picking up the action on a four-way 3♣J♦5♦ flop, it checked to Dan Shak in middle position, who bet the pot of 360,000. Sam Soverel called in the cutoff, and Bruno Furth followed suit in the small blind.
Luis Velador folded in the big blind before the J♥ fell on the turn. Furth led all in for 800,000, Shak called, and Soverel called off for 465,000 as well.
Sam Soverel: A♥J♣10♠5♠2♥ 
Bruno Furth: K♠K♦7♠4♣2♣
Dan Shak: A♠8♠6♦3♦2♦
The 5♥ river completed the board. No low appeared, meaning Soverel's full house scooped the main pot. Furth's two pair raked in the side pot as Shak incurred a seven-figure loss to his stack.
Qinghai Pan raised to 75,000 in the cutoff and Gus Hansen called in the small blind. Daniel Aharoni then reraised to 525,000 in the big blind, and Pan called for his last 250,000. Hansen, meanwhile, tanked for a few minutes before also calling for 300,000.
Qinghai Pan: A♣Q♦Q♠7♣2♠
Gus Hansen: A♠Q♣J♦9♣6♠
Daniel Aharoni: A♦K♦K♣10♠4♥
"I'm in really bad shape," Hansen said once the cards were revealed. The flop came Q♥3♠10♥, and Pan took the lead with a set of queens. He ended up with a full house as the board ran out 9♠10♣ to secure the triple up, while Aharoni took the side pot to send Hansen to the rail.
Qinghai Pan got his last few chips in from the big blind on the 4♥A♠10♣6♦ turn against Mike Matusow in the big blind.
Qinghai Pan: 9♠8♣6♥5♦2♠
Mike Matusow: Q♠J♦10♦5♣2♣
Both players had the same low, and Matusow's high remained best on the J♠ river to take three-quarters.
The next hand, Daniel Aharoni raised in early position. Alexis Cruz Martinez called in the hijack, Pan called all in for 50,000 in the small blind, and Aaron Kupin came along from the big blind.
Aharoni bet the 8♠2♠9♠ flop, the short-stacked Cruz called off his final blinds, and Kupin check-folded to force a showdown.
Qinghai Pan: Q♠7♠6♥6♣4♥
Alexis Cruz Martinez: A♣K♠8♣4♣2♦
Daniel Aharoni: A♦6♠6♦4♠3♠
Aharoni had the nut low and a flush, eliminating Cruz on the 9♣7♥ runout. Pan had a higher flush to take half, doubling him up in the four-way pot.
Sam Soverel reraised to 225,000 in the small blind and Luis Velador called in middle position.
The flop came 2♦8♦9♦ and Soverel bet 105,000. Velador called, and the 7♣ fell on the turn.
Soverel then moved all in for 380,000, and Velador folded. Soverel showed A♦3♦ as he took the pot.
Aaron Kupin and Qinghai Pan were heads-up on a board of 2♣5♥9♦J♠, each already with more than 200,000 in the pot. Kupin then got in his last 910,000 from the hijack, and Pan put him at risk in middle position.
Aaron Kupin: A♠K♣9♠7♠2♦
Qinghai Pan: Q♦J♦4♥3♦2♥
Pan showed two pair, and Kupin was already standing up from his seat preparing to make his exit as he turned over A♠K♣9♠7♠2♦. The river, though, brought the K♣ to give Kupin kings and nines and the double.
"Wow, what a card. I've never hit a card like that in my life," Mike Matusow said.
Big blind Bobby James checked the 5♦J♦7♥ flop to Nick Schulman in middle position. Schulman bet 205,000, and James called.
James then led all in on the 7♣ turn, and Schulman instantly called off his stack of 140,000.
Nick Schulman: A♥K♦9♥6♣2♣
Bobby James: A♠A♣K♠J♠6♦
Schulman made the nut low and a straight on the 8♠ river, doubling him up while leaving James with about four big blinds.
Shortly before, Richard Bai had been eliminated from another table.
Taylor Atchison raised to 85,000 in the cutoff and Sean Troha reraised to 265,000 in the big blind. Atchison called to see the 10♠8♣5♠ flop.
Troha then potted to 575,000, Atchison moved all in for 720,000, and Troha called.
Taylor Atchison: A♣Q♦J♣8♠4♦
Sean Troha: A♠A♥J♦3♠2♥
Troha was ahead with his aces, but the 9♣ turn gave Atchison the lead with a straight. The 10♣ river improved him to a flush, and Atchison doubled up.
"You guys came to play today," tablemate Bobby James said.
Christian Harder raised to 85,000 in the hijack. Doug Lorgeree called in the small blind, and big blind Adrian Buckley spent some time in the tank before he called as well.
Lorgeree then led out for 225,000 on the 2♥3♦J♦ flop. Buckley quickly called off his remaining 85,000, while Harder opted to get out of the way.
Adrian Buckley: A♣J♠9♠5♣4♥
Doug Lorgeree: A♥J♣7♦4♦3♥
Buckley rivered two pair on the 10♠9♣ runout, scooping the pot to double up.
Over at another table, Aaron Rogers got his 240,000 remaining stack in against Lawrence Brandt, and scooped the pot with A♥K♠Q♥J♦4♠ when the board ran out Q♦8♠4♥K♣2♠.
