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.
Edward Apodaca raised to 60,000 from under the gun, Mark Forster three-bet to 160,000 in the cutoff, and Terry Thomason cold four-bet shoved on the button for 370,000. Apodaca thought for a moment before folding and Forster snap called.
Terry Thomason: K♣K♦
Mark Forster: A♠A♣
The flop came 6♦2♦Q♠, and Apodaca revealed that he had folded pocket queens. Regret turned back into relief when the A♦ fell on the turn, giving Forster a set of aces. The 10♠ completed the board and Thomason was sent packing.
Semsettin Ilyas opened from middle position to 40,000. He got called by Frank Connelly on the button and Donald Briggs in the big blind. The dealer showed the flop of J♠J♦A♣.
All three players checked to see the turn K♦. Briggs put 65,000 in front of him and got called by Semsettin, while Connelly decided to move away.
On the 4♦ river, both players checked to the showdown. Briggs turned over A♦Q♦ followed by Semsettin's A♥Q♣. Briggs collected the pot as he won with a backdoor diamond flush.
Gregory Bowman raised to 55,000 from early position and Daniel McDonagh jammed for 295,000 from the next seat. Bowman called when the action got back to him.
Daniel McDonagh: A♣K♣
Gregory Bowman: A♦J♣
McDonagh had the superior kicker, and that proved pivotal on the A♥7♥10♣7♦4♣ runout as both players made top pair. McDonagh's king-kicker played, earning him the double-up.
Gary Lambert raised to 45,000 from under the gun, Thomas Bohmer three-bet jammed for about 220,000 in middle position, and Jorge Martinez reshoved in the big blind for 355,000. Lambert called having both opponents covered.
Thomas Bohmer: J♠10♠
Jorge Martinez: A♠A♥
Gary Lambert: 9♦9♣
Aces remained in the lead all the way as the board ran out 6♥K♦2♦2♣3♠, and the pot was pushed to Martinez.
