Craig Varnell and James Morgan were heads-up with the latter at risk for his last chips.
James Morgan: 
Craig Varnell: 
The board ran out 
for both players to flop top pair but for Varnell's kicker to come into play to bust Morgan.
On the turn with a board reading 
Wilbern Hoffman got all-in for 240,000 against Landen Lucas. Lucas was ahead with 
for the set, while Hoffman's 
gave him two pair.
Then the 
landed on the river, giving both players a full boat, but Hoffman's was bigger (queens-full) and he sank Lucas' (sevens-full).
Je Wook Oh raised to 18,000 from under the gun and was called by Jesus Martinez in the middle position, Eric Fields in the late position, Milliard Hale in the cutoff, Alex Muscarella on the button, and Eracles Panayiotou in the small blind. Grigoriy Shvarts three-bet to 83,000 from the big blind for everyone but Muscarella to fold who made the call.
The flop came 
, Shvarts shoved and Muscarella snap-called for the 268,000 he had behind.
Alex Muscarella: 
Grigoriy Shvarts: 
Muscarella had flopped a set of sixes and those held throughout the 
on the turn and the on the river to double up.
All the chips went in preflop and Ben Bianco's pocket kings were way behind Ben Keeline's pocket aces, but Bianco had the bigger stack. The flop fell 
and the whole room could hear Bianco yelling for a "Diamond!".
The 
turn card was not the card he was looking for, but the river filled the bill. Bianco completed his flush and took the pot. Ben Keeline was sent to the payout desk, finishing 138th ($6,094).

In a hand that ran over into the break:
Stephen Song limped under-the-gun, then Ory Hen raised to 26,000. Alex Queen called, Galen Hall called, then Shawn Cunix jammed from the big blind. Song folded, Hen moved in for 370,000 total, Queen folded, Hall took a beat, then folded as well.
Cunix tabled 
only to find he was crushed by Hen's 
. The board ran out 
and made no difference. Hen more than doubled up with the dead money in the pot.
