Joseph Dagostino raised to 50,000 in middle position Edward Apodaca defended in the big blind.
Apodaca led out for 50,000 on the J♠5♥A♥ flop and Dagostino made the call, bringing the 2♣ turn.
Dagostino bet again, this time for 75,000, and Dagostino counted out his chips before tossing his cards into the muck.
David Savarese's entire stack of 285,000 was already in the middle of the table when the action was picked up. Kenna James opted to make the call.
David Savarese: 6♦6♥
Kenna James: 5♥5♣
The board showed: 9♣2♠6♣2♣3♥
Savarese doubled up with a full house, which took a chunk of James' stack.
John Meola moved all in for 140,000 on the button and Susan Murphey called in the small blind with the covering stack.
John Meola: K♥7♠
Susan Murphey: A♠A♣
Meola picked up some additional equity on the 7♣4♥10♠ flop, pairing his seven, but couldn't improve on the 4♠ turn or 5♣ river.
Gary Lambert, with around 150,000 in his stack, moved them all across the line from early position. Jeffrey Wilcox called on the button to put him at risk, and after the blinds folded, the players went to showdown.
Gary Lambert: 2♠2♥
Jeffrey Wilcox: A♣K♥
Lambert's deuces fell behind on the 10♠10♣A♠ flop as Wilcox improved to top pair.
The 10♥ turn meant Lambert was drawing to an unlikely chop, which didn't come as the Q♠ completed the board.
Lambert wished his tablemates good luck as all of his chips were sent across the table to Wilcox.
Level: 22
Blinds: 10,000/25,000
Ante: 25,000
Thomas Spaid raised to 45,000 from middle position, and only Nan Min called from the cutoff.
Spaid opted to knuckle it over to Min on the 3♥2♣9♣ flop, and Min decided to fire for 55,000. Spaid continued with a call.
The J♠ arrived on the turn and Spaid checked again. Min bet 150,000, which was enough to get Spaid to let go of his cards.
Action picked up on the 10♣K♦7♣ flop with a sizable pot brewing between Jeffrey Camp in the cutoff and Mehrdad Yousefzadeh in the big blind.
The rest of the money went in with Camp the one at risk with an open-ended straight draw.
Jeffrey Camp: Q♣J♦
Mehrdad Yousefzadeh: A♠A♥
The 3♠ turn and Q♠ river offered no help to Camp, and the pot was pushed Yousefzadeh's way.
Beth Gains opened from early position by pushing her remaining stack of 235,000 into the middle of the table. Korte Yeo, in the small blind with a similar stack size, decided to call.
Beth Gains: K♥Q♠
Korte Yeo: 6♣6♠
The dealer ran out the board: 4♥10♦6♦2♣2♥.
Yeo already hit a set on the flop, and his hand only improved more on the turn and river into a full house, unfortunately for Gains, who had to leave the tournament.
Nancy Birnbaum bumped it up to 40,000 from middle position with Istvan Toro and Lionel Barracano calling from the blinds.
All three players checked the 7♠K♥6♠ flop, with the 8♦ joining on the turn. Toro checked once more, but Barracano fired for 100,000. Birnbaum thought for a while before folding, and Toro quickly tossed his cards away, allowing Barracano to drag in the pot.
George Alex got it all in preflop on the button against John Meola in the big blind, who covered.
George Alex: 3♠3♦
John Meola: Q♠Q♦
There were no treys to be found on the A♠2♠8♦8♥10♣ runout, and Alex was sent to the payout desk.
