Sasha Liu opened to 1,500 from the hijack and James Obst defended his big blind.
Both players checked on the K♣J♦4♣ flop and then Liu called a 3,800 bet from Obst on the 8♥ turn.
The Q♣ completed the board and Obst sized up for a bet of 11,400, sending Liu deep into the tank.
After a couple minutes of contemplation, Liu looked up Obst, who tabled J♣J♠9♣3♠ for a flush. Liu couldn't beat it and sent her cards into the muck.
Action picked up on the flop of J♦3♣9♣ in a hand between the under-the-gun Shariq Khan and Viktor Blom in the hijack.
With about 40,000 already in the middle, the rest of Khan's stack of 19,900 went in, with Blom quickly calling.
Shariq Khan: A♠A♥8♦2♣ 
Viktor Blom: K♥Q♠J♠9♥
Blom was in the lead with top two pair, but when the board ran out 5♦4♣, Khan made a wheel on the river to survive.
Benjamin Lazer raised to 1,800 on the button, which both Ivan Starostin and Shay Begerano called in the blinds.
The action checked through on the 6♠A♣3♣ flop, seeing the 10♣ join the board. The action checked to Lazer once again, who bet 2,000, which both Starostin and Begerano called.
The 7♦ completed the board, and all three players checked again.
Begerano tabled Q♥9♣8♣7♥ for a flush, and had the pot pushed his way.
Matthew Damadeo limped in from under the gun, and Vidar Oeie responded with a raise to 1,800 in the cutoff. Jesse Lonis then three-bet to 7,000 from the small blind. Damadeo four-bet all in for 15,400, which received a fold from Oeie, but Lonis called.
Matthew Damadeo: Q♥Q♦J♥4♦
Jesse Lonis: K♠K♣10♠9♦
The 3♣5♥J♣A♠9♥ board offered Damadeo no help, as he slid his stack over to Lonis and headed to the rail.
Francisco Baruffi was already all in and at risk against Chris Demaci, who had Baruffi covered on a flop of 9♥7♦6♣.
Francisco Baruffi: K♦Q♠J♦10♣
Chris Demaci: A♦A♥J♠4♦
Baruffi would need some help against Demaci's aces, but the 6♦9♦ runout left Demaci with the nut flush against Baruffi's king-high flush for the knockout.
Ahmad Hasan was in the big blind and got it all in for less than ten big blinds against Justin Lunin-Pack in the cutoff.
Ahmad Hasan: K♥6♣4♥2♣
Justin Lunin-Pack: K♠Q♣Q♦3♣
The board ran out J♣A♠3♦4♦8♠ and Lunin-Pack's pair of queens sent Hasan packing.
Rabah Aitabdelmalek raised to 1,500 in the cutoff, which both Lautaro Cabrerizo and Colby Covington called from the button and big blind.
Aitabdelmalek continued for 2,000 on the J♣4♥Q♦ flop, which received a fold from Cabrerizo, but Covington check-called.
Covington checked for a second time on the 6♦ turn, but this time folded when Aitabdelmalek barreled with a bet of 5,500.
Michael Wang and Evan Krentzman were heads-up on a flop of 5♠6♦3♣ with about 5,000 already in the middle and Krentzman check-called a 2,600 bet from Wang.
Krentzman check-called a 7,000 barrel from Wang on the K♦ turn and checked a final time after the 5♥ paired the board on the river.
Wang sized up for a bet of 24,400 — sending Krentzman deep into the tank. After a few minutes, Krentzman thought better of it and folded, conceding the sizable pot to the defending champion.
