Horacio Chaves opened first to act, and Ian Pelz on his left put in a three-bet. Chaves called, and both players drew three.
Pelz then called a bet from Chaves. They both drew one, and Pelz called another bet.
Chaves patted, and Pelz drew one, before action checked through. Chaves showed 10x8x7x3x2x, and Pelz let his hand go, telling the table that he'd "made a six"
Nick Pupillo raised in the cutoff and Michelle Chin three-bet on the button. Pupillo called and drew one while Chin took two. Pupillo bet and Chin called.
Pupillo patted going into the second draw while Chin drew two again. Pupillo bet and Chin raised after taking her time. Pupillo called and both players stood pat.

Sean Troha rasied from middle position and Michelle Chin raised her big blind. Troha put in the call.
Chin drew one and Troha went into the tank, before drawing two. Chin bet, and Troha raised, leaving just 50,000 behind. Chin thought for some time before calling.
Again, Chin drew one, and Troha went into the tank again. Eventually, he drew one, which drew a look of visible confusion on Chin's face. She put him all in, and Troha took some time before calling for his last 50,000.
Chin stood pat, and yet again Troha took quite a while before coming to a decision. After a minute of thought, with a very pained face, he also stood pat. His 10x8x6x5x2x would not be enough to keep him alive, as Chin tabled 8x7x5x4x3x for the pot.
Nick Pupillo opened under the gun, and Ian Pelz defended his big blind. Both players drew two, and Pelz check-raised a bet from Pupillo. Pupillo called, and drew one after standing pat.
Pelz moved all in for his last 140,000, and Pupillo called. Pelz stood pat again, and Pupillo took a final card.
Ian Pelz: 9x8x6x4x2x 
Nick Pupillo: 5x4x3x2x
Pupillo was drawing smooth, but the 2x he pulled was no good, and Pelz secured a full double.
Ian Pelz opened in the cutoff and Michelle Chin called from the small blind. Chin changed two cards while Pelz opted for one. Chin then check-called a bet from Pelz.
Chin drew two again on the second draw and Pelz rapped pat. Chin check-called another bet and took one on the final draw. Pelz patted and both players checked.
Chin tabled an eight-seven perfect and Pelz mucked to drop to a few big bets.
In the first hand at the final table, Oliver Tot raised from under the gun, Daniel Strelitz three-bet in middle position, and Tot called. Both players drew one after the first draw. Tot checked, Strelitz bet, and Tot called.
On the second draw, Tot drew one and Strelitz stood pat. Tot checked, Strelitz bet, and Tot called all in for his last 135,000.
Tot drew another card on the final draw and Strelitz remained pat, revealing 8x7x5x4x2x.
"Seven's no good, right?" Tot inquired as he opened his 8x6x5x2x. It wasn't, indeed, as only a three or four would save his tournament. The final card was an Ax instead to eliminate Tot.
