Stud Hi-Lo
Jeremy Ausmus: XxXx / A♣7♣8♠6♠ / Xx
Yueqi Zhu: A♦5♣ / 3♥J♣4♣2♥ / 3♦
By the time fifth street showed, Yueqi "Rich" Zhu and Jeremy Ausmus tried to figure out how many chips should be out in front which was then supposed to be 140,000 total as Chino Rheem mentioned Zhu had three-bet on third street. One bet each went in after that with Ausmus calling down and Rheem predicted Zhu to reveal "ace-five of hearts".
The suits were wrong but Zhu had the wheel to scoop the pot.

Ryutaro Suzuki completed, Arthur Morris raised, and Suzuki called.
Ryutaro Suzuki: XxXx / 7♣3♦Q♥4♦ / Xx
Arthur Morris: XxXx / K♥7♠5♣9♠ / Xx
Morris led on fourth and Suzuki called. He led again on fifth, Suzuki raised, and Morris called again.
On sixth, Morris check-called a bet, and Suzuki bet a final time on seventh. Morris did not like the situation but he decided to flick in the call after some deliberation. However, Suzuki could only show K♣5♠4♣ in the hole for the lone pair of fours.
Morris was able to reveal K♦10♦2♣, and his pair of kings was the winner.
Suzuki was left with 30,000 at the end of the hand, and he lost it to his compatriot Naoya Kihara the following hand, also in Stud.

Chino Rheem: XxXx / Q♠5♣10♥3♥ / Xx
Yueqi Zhu: A♥2♠ / 2♥3♠9♥J♦ / 5♦
Chino Rheem completed and Yueqi Zhu defended his bring in. "You always have a deuce to call," Rheem joked and then bet the next two streets for Zhu to call. Once they checked sixth street, Rheem bet again seventh street and Zhu reluctantly called.
"A pair of deuces is good, I have no pair," Rheem said and Zhu indeed showed a pair of deuces which scooped the entire pot.
"Jesus Christ," Luke Schwartz exclaimed and Zhu then explained that Rheem has been torturing him "for twenty five years".

Pan bet again on fifth, getting two calls. The same happened on sixth, but this time Grapenthien let go of his hand after a minute's tank.
On seventh, Pan put out a final bet, and Sitbon shook his head and quickly folded, likely having missed some draws as Pan scoops a big one without showdown.

Action folded around to the blinds, where, Chris Brewer raised from the small blind and David Steicke called in the big blind.
Steicke proceeded to call bets from Brewer on the J♦A♠2♠ flop, A♣ turn, and 6♦ river.
"Kings," Brewer announced, prompting Steicke to table A♦5♥3♥3♠ for trips and a low.
"Oh, you have a huge hand!" Brewer said as he sent his cards into the muck.

Ari Engel: XxXx / 4x3xQxJx folded on sixth street
Shaun Deeb: XxXx / 3x2x6x8x
In three-way action to fifth street, Shaun Deeb announced bet while grabbing another bite out of a box of tacos and that forced out Brian Yoon, while Ari Engel called. Deeb then used the verbal declaration once more after the next bite and Engel folded after brief consideration.
While scooping up the chips, Deeb was asked "are you getting more famous than Phil for eating?" to which Deeb simply replied "I am more famous for being more fat than him".

Andrew Kelsall: XxXx/8xKx4x9x/Xx - folded on seventh street

William Kerkaert: XxXx / AxJxKx7x folded on sixth street
Jiyang Gan: KxKx / 5x9x9xJx / 7x
The floor was called over to the table to confirm what pot Jiyang could win because he was at risk for a fraction of the ante only on third street. William Kerkaert completed and was called by Phillip Hui and Chino Rheem. Kerkaert bet again fourth street to pick up two calls before Rheem bet fifth street to get called twice.
Rheem bet sixth street once more and this time, Kerkaert folded as did Hui. By then, Gan had already gathered his belongings and was drawing dead because this has been a Razz hand and not Stud.
