James Obst raised in the hijack, Todd Brunson tossed in a third bet from the cutoff, and Obst called once the other players had folded.
Obst went on to check-call Brunson's bets on the 6♣7♠2♥ flop, K♥ turn, and 10♠ river. Brunson showed A♠A♦5♣3♠ for the nut low and a pair of aces. Obst did not try to claim either half of the pot, mucking his cards in defeat instead.
Phil Hellmuth raised in the cutoff and Dylan Weisman called in the big blind.
The flop came 10♥4♦8♥ and Hellmuth bet. Weisman then raised, and Hellmuth called.
Weisman bet on the K♥ turn, and Hellmuth tanked for a few minutes before raising all in. Weisman snap-called and turned over A♥Q♠5♠3♥ for the nut flush.
"Of course," Hellmuth, flipping over his A♦A♣10♣8♠. The river was the 4♣, and Hellmuth's quest for bracelet No. 18 came to an end in this event.
Ryan Bambrick raised under the gun, Scott Clements called in the hijack, and James Obst did so on the button. Bambrick checked the 10♥8♣4♠ flop, causing Clements to fire a bet into the pot.
Obst then raised, forcing Bambrick out of the pot. Clements called, and the subsequent 10♦ turn and 9♦ river were checked to showdown.
Clements announced a pair of kings and tabled K♠K♦9♠7♦ to prove it. Obst could not beat it, and the chips were sent Clements' way.
Dylan Weisman raised in the hijack, Scott Clements three-bet in the cutoff, and Weisman called.
The flop came A♣9♦K♣ and Clements bet. Weisman called, and the 10♥ fell on the turn.
Clements then bet again, and Weisman called. The river was the 2♥ and Clements bet. Weisman took a minute but eventually folded this time, and Clements took the pot.
"We're in a battle, boys," Phil Hellmuth said.
Todd Brunson raised in the hijack. Dylan Weisman found a three-bet on the button, and Brunson called before he checked the 6♣5♦9♥ flop.
Weisman checked back, prompting Brunson to bet the J♠ turn. After Weisman called, the 7♦ river was checked to showdown.
Brunson tabled A♥J♣9♠2♠ for the nut low and two pair. Weisman nodded in acknowledgement and mucked his cards to forfeit his former chips.
Scott Clements limped in from under the gun and Ryan Bambrick raised in the small blind. Dylan Weisman then reraised in the big blind, and both Clements and Bambrick called.
Bambrick led out with a bet on the J♣K♥8♥ flop and only Weisman called. Bambrick then bet his last 15,000 on the 10♠ turn, and Weisman called.
Bambrick had A♣A♥7♣5♥, while Weisman showed 10♦9♦5♣4♣ for a pair and straight draw. The Q♥ fell on the river to give Weisman his straight, but Bambrick also made a flush to win the pot and double up.
Scott Clements raised in middle position and Todd Brunson and Ryan Bambrick called in the blinds.
All three players checked to the turn on a board of 3♥7♥9♣7♣. Brunson then bet, and Bambrick called while Clements got out of the way.
Brunson bet again on the 8♦ river and Bambrick called, and Brunson then showed A♦6♦3♦2♣ for two pair and a low to scoop the pot.
It folded to Phil Hellmuth in the small blind, who raised. Todd Brunson called in the big blind and called Hellmuth down when he fired all streets on the 10♠4♥5♠K♥10♥ board.
"Aces," Hellmuth announced, but Brunson quickly tabled 9♣7♥5♣3♥ for a rivered flush.
"Wow," Hellmuth said as he flipped over A♠A♣7♦3♣ for the losing hand. He then spent a few moments in self-pity before he concluded with a "whatever."
Hellmuth did not seem to mean that final statement, though, as he folded the next hand and went over to his wife, explaining how he was the only player patient enough to win the tournament.
Scott Clements raised on the button and James Obst called in the big blind.
Both players checked the K♥9♦7♥ flop. Clements then bet on the 3♥ turn, and Obst called.
Clements bet again on the 9♣ river, and Obst called. Clements then showed A♣A♥8♣7♠ for two pair, and Obst mucked.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Scott Clements. Everybody loves him. Is there anyone who doesn't like him? Phil loves him too. Phil can't help but whine," Phil Hellmuth said.
"Your self-awareness is getting a lot better," Dylan Weisman replied to Hellmuth.
Todd Brunson raised in the hijack and called Dylan Weisman when the latter three-bet on the button.
The duo then checked through the A♠J♣10♣ turn, prompting Brunson to take initiative with a bet on the 3♠ turn. Weisman called to the Q♠ river, where Brunson bet again.
Weisman announced a raise, and Brunson chucked in a quick call. Weisman showed A♣7♠6♠2♣ for a flush, causing Brunson to shake his head and send his cards towards the muck.
