Thomas Blake raised to 12,000 from early position with Semsettin Ilyas calling in the cutoff and Bob Mather defending his big blind.
The action checked to Ilyas on the 7♠10♠9♦ flop, and he chose to bet 15,000. Mather check-raised to 40,000, which got Blake to fold.
Ilyas showed 6♠6♦ before folding, prompting Mather to reveal just the 8♠ as he was awarded the pot.
Robin Ashworth raised to 15,000 from under the gun, and was called by Stephen Bennett in early position and Christopher Grote in middle position. Edward Harris then three-bet jammed in late position for 86,000 and only Bennett called.
Edward Harris: Q♥Q♦ 
Stephen Bennett: K♠10♠
The flop came J♣9♣7♥ with Harris still in the lead, but Bennett picked up outs with a gutshot.
"Give him a queen," said Bennett as the dealer put out the 5♠ turn.
The 7♦ rolled off on the river, and the pot was pushed to Harris.
In a single-raised pot, four players were looking at a flop of 7♦5♠K♣. After Edward Harris and Horace Ford checked from the blinds, Merle Halcom bet 18,000 from early position. Christopher Grote called on the button, along with Harris from the small blind.
Three ways to the 9♥ turn, which was checked to Grote. He bet 20,000, and Harris called again, while Halcom folded.
Both players checked the J♠ river, and Grote's K♠Q♦ for a pair of kings earned him the pot.
Danny Griffith raised to 16,000 in early position and Robert Stuve flatted in late position.
The flop came 8♦7♦4♠, Griffith continued with a bet of 24,000 and Stuve called.
The Q♦ turn went check-check, bringing the 3♣ river, where Griffith checked again. Stuve fired out a bet of 50,000 and Griffith thought for a brief moment before making the call.
Griffith tabled J♠J♦ and Stuve sent his cards into the muck.
The board showed 5♣6♠J♣, when the action was picked up.
Only three players were left. Roger Geremia first one to check, followed by Devon Wedum and Dale Buckles to see the turn J♦.
Germia checked, Wedum opted to put 7,000 in chips in front of him and made other ones fold.
Greg Raymer raised to 12,000 from under the gun, and was called by Melinda Hipp on the button and Mimoun Bendavid in the big blind.
The flop of 5♣6♦7♠ checked through to the 4♦ turn, where Bendavid led out for 12,000. Raymer called, as did Hipp.
On the 2♥ river, Bendavid checked, Raymer bet 25,000, and Hipp folded. Bendavid thought for a brief moment before making the call.
"I have a straight," said Raymer as he tabled 3♣3♦ to take down the pot.
Roland Reparejo jammed for around 20,000 from early position and Edward Forlani three-bet to 35,000 from the hijack. Peter Costello cold-called from the cutoff, and they went three ways to a 3♣4♣10♥ flop with Reparejo all in.
Forlani and Costello checked the flop, and then checked again through the 5♥ turn and 4♦ river.
Costello turned over A♠J♣ and was losing to Reparejo's A♣Q♠. However, Forlani had both players beat with A♥K♠, and he was awarded the pot, sending Reparejo to the exit.
After some raising back and forth, Robert Garvin's stack of around 85,000 got into the middle preflop with John Rycroft trying to send him home.
Robert Garvin: 9♥9♣
John Rycroft: A♦K♣
Garvin was already up and out of his seat, but he was quick to sit back down after the dealer delivered the 4♥Q♦3♦4♦6♠ runout, keeping his pocket nines ahead and earning him the double-up.
Norman Felton got it all in preflop for 145,000 effective against Michael Vukovic, who was at risk.
Michael Vukovic: K♦Q♦
Norman Felton: A♥K♣
Vukovic pulled ahead on the Q♠3♥K♥ flop, improving to two pair, kings and queens. The 7♠ turn and 7♥ river offered no help to Felton, who was left with just 8,000. He was seen exiting the tournament area moments later.
