Benjamin Hebert raised in the hijack. It folded to Nicolas Milgrom in the big blind, who defended. The flop fell 10♦4♠7♠. Milgrom checked, Hebert bet, and Milgrom called.
Milgrom checked again on the 8♥ turn. Hebert fired another bet, but he opted to forfeit the pot by mucking his cards once Milgrom upped the ante with a raise.
Richie Sklar just took his seat in the event while munching on a hot dog and raised under the gun on his first hand. Jon Kyte called all in from the small blind, while Tomasz Gluszko also called in the big blind.
Sklar then bet on the K♠J♦10♦ flop and Gluszko called. Sklar and Gluszko then checked down the A♣ turn and 10♣ river.
"Ace," Sklar said, showing A♥5♦4♠3♠. Gluszko mucked, while Kyte then turned over his cards one by one.
"Deuce isn't a good start," he said as his first card was the 2♥. He then flipped over the Q♥. "Picture," he added, but Kyte's remaining two cards were an unhelpful 8♠ and 6♥ to seal his elimination.
Yong Wang raised in the cutoff and called button Jon Kyte's subsequent three-bet. Wang check-called Kyte's bet on the 10♠3♣9♦ flop before the J♦ turn checked through. Wang then bet the 10♣ river, and Kyte called to showdown.
Wang revealed K♠K♣5♥2♠ for kings and tens, and Kyte flashed QxQx as he mucked his cards and was left with less than a small bet in his stack.
Dylan Lambe raised in the hijack and Thomas Taylor called in the cutoff. Allyn Shulman then three-bet on the button and Josh Arieh called in the small blind, while Lambe and Taylor also called.
Taylor opened the betting on the 7♥6♥3♠ flop and Shulman raised. Arieh folded, while Lambe and Taylor called.
Taylor bet again on the 8♣ turn, Shulman raised all in, and both Lambe and Taylor called. Taylor then bet on the Q♣ river, and Lambe called to create a side pot.
Taylor showed A♣6♣5♥3♣ for two pair and a low, while Lambe had 7♣6♦3♥2♦ for sevens and sixes. They chopped the side pot, while Shulman turned over A♠J♦4♦2♣ to chop the main pot with Lambe.

Ryam Bambrick bet from the small blind on a flop of K♦10♥J♦ and David Benyamine called in the big blind.
Bambrick bet again on the 7♣ turn, and Benyamine called. The river was the 3♥ and Bambrick bet. Benyamine folded this time, and Bambrick flashed A♦Q♥ for a flopped straight as he took in the pot.
Gus Hansen raised in the hijack and was met with a three-bet from Patrick Stacey in the small blind. Hansen flicked in a fourth bet, which Stacey called.
Stacey check-called Hansen's bets on the 5♦10♠8♥ flop and J♠ turn before leading out on the K♥ river.
Hansen tossed in a reluctant calling chip, but his A♠K♣10♦4♠ for two pair was enough to rake in the chips as Stacey only had one pair with A♥K♠7♥2♦.
