Mark Forster was all in preflop and at risk for 435,000 in the cutoff against Barbara Sargent in middle position.
Mark Forster: A♠K♦ 
Barbara Sargent: K♣Q♣
The flop came 4♦8♣J♦ with Forster's ace-king still out in front. Sargent picked up a flush draw on the J♣ turn, but the 3♠ river was a brick, and the pot was pushed Forster's way.
The action was picked up when the flop showed Q♣8♥J♣. Edward Apodaca placed a bet of 350,000, but Jonathan Lemone decided to go all in.
Apodaco gave it a minute before he called with his pocket aces A♥A♠. Lemone showed his 10♥9♠, and it turned out that he had flopped a straight.
The dealer revealed the turn Q♥ and river 4♣, which did not offer any help to Apadoca, who had to make his way to the rail.
Thomas Spaid was in middle position and got it all in preflop for about 200,000 against the under-the-gun Lionel Barracano, who covered.
Thomas Spaid: J♠10♥
Lionel Barracano: J♣J♦
Spaid picked up an open-ended straight draw on the K♣Q♣8♦ flop, but couldn't get there when the board ran out 5♠2♦.

Action picked up on the flop of 9♦5♣K♦ in a hand between Behrouz Keshtavar in middle position and Michael Taras in the cutoff.
With about 200,000 in the middle, Keshtavar bet 80,000, and Taras moved all in for 245,000 to put himself at risk. Keshtavar thought for a moment before flicking in the call.
Michael Taras: K♠Q♠
Behrouz Keshtavar: Q♣Q♥
Taras was ahead with a pair of kings and secured the double-up when the board ran out K♣4♥.
The board showed A♣7♠2♥A♥, and Mark Warling went all-in to put pressure on Edward Apodaca, who had roughly only 350,000 behind, but Apodaca decided to call.
Edward Apodaca: Q♥Q♦
Mark Warling; 10♠10♥
Both players had pocket pairs, but it was Apodaca's pocket queens that had him in front with one card to come. The river was a brick, and Apodaca doubled through Warling.
Rickey McColley had become short-stacked and was all in for around 250,000 from early position, with Levent Aksoy making the call from late position to try and end his day.
Rickey McColley: A♦8♦
Levent Aksoy: A♣9♣
Aksoy's nine-kicker proved decisive after the J♥2♦6♠7♣K♥ runout, earning him the pot.
McColley was eliminated and made his way to the payout desk.
Nan Min opened the action with an under-the-gun raise and Robert Pacleb three-bet jammed for 210,000 on the button. After confirming the count, Min made the call.
Robert Pacleb: J♠J♣
Nan Min: 7♣7♦
The flop came 10♦9♠9♦ with Pacleb still out in front. The turn landed the 10♠ and the river fell the 6♠, earning him the second double up in just a few minutes.
Christopher Powers raised to 70,000 from middle position and only Timothy Garner called from the button.
As soon as Powers saw the K♦3♥K♥ flop, he tossed in his last 115,000, and Garner quickly called.
Christopher Powers: 5♥5♦
Timothy Garner: A♥Q♥
Powers had pocket fives against the two overcards and flush draw of Garner.
Powers was asking the dealer for black cards, and he got exactly what he wished for as the rest of the board came 8♠K♠, giving him a full house and keeping his tournament hopes alive.
