Daniel Klodowski opened to 3,500 from the cutoff and Chino Rheem defended his big blind.
The 4♠4♥Q♠ flop saw Rheem snap-check to Klodowski who quickly bet out 3,000.
Rheem called to see the 2♣ turn and Rheem checked again. Klodowski asked for 10,000 but that was too much for Rheem and he mucked.
Derek Normand raised to 3,000 from early position, Bobby Simons called from the hijack, and Atul Sehgal called from the big blind. The flop dropped with A♦K♥7♦. Sehgal checked, Normand bet 4,500, Simons called, and Sehgal folded.
Both remaining players checked the turn 3♠.
On the river 4♣, Normand bet 10,500, and Simons called.
Normand showed Q♦10♠ for a missed straight draw, and Simons showed A♠2♠ for a pair of aces for the win.
Heads-up on a board of 9♠7♥K♥3♣, Kevin MacPhee bet 22,500 from the small blind and Mateus Fernandez called on the button.
MacPhee checked the 7♦ river, and Fernandes then moved all in for 63,000. MacPhee tanked for a minute, but he eventually gave up his hand.
Petros Triantafylidis raised to 3,000 from early position and was called by Sasha Liu on the button and Tuan Phan in the big blind.
Phan checked to Triantafylidis, who continued for 3,000 on the J♣Q♣J♠ flop. Liu called and Phan folded.
Triantafylidis checked after the A♠ fell on the turn and Liu took over the initiative with a bet of 8,000.
Triantafylidis tanked a while and then moved his remaining 26,500 into the middle, which got a fold from Liu to earn Triantafylidis the pot.
Alexander Queen moved all in for his last 9,000 from middle position. Action folded around to Ronald Musson in the big blind who called.
Alexander Queen: K♥K♦
Ronald Musson: 5♠5♦
Queen said, "surprise!" when the cards were flipped as he had picked up pocket kings. He held on the A♠9♥3♦ flop, and the J♠ turn didn't change the standings.
He temped fate by saying "Five!", before the river came, but he locked up his double after the 7♦ river fell.
Tuan Phan raised to 3,000 from middle position to see Tyler Cornell call in the cutoff. On the button, Pedro Olaio three-bet to 12,000 and only Cornell called.
The flop rolled out J♦6♦3♠ and Cornell check-called a bet of 16,000 from Olaio.
As the turn 6♠ was being dealt, the next card in the deck was exposed. Both Cornell and Olaio saw the A♣ which was the burn card, while both players checked the turn.
On the river Q♣, Cornell checked a third time and Olaio moved all in for 99,000 effective to see Cornell snap-call.
Tyler Cornell: 6♥6♣
Pedro Olaio: A♠Q♦
Cornell's quad sixes was good for the pot and the WSOP bracelet winner doubled up.
The hand was picked up with Kuanhan Lee already all in, with Matthew Cohn in the cutoff and Daniel Mace from the small blind having made the call.
The flop hit K♥5♥K♣ and both players checked. The J♠ on the turn brought a bet of 4,000 from Mace. Cohn checked out.
Kuanhan Lee: 7♠7♥
Daniel Mace: J♥10♥
Mace had the edge with a pair of jacks, and the 4♦ on the river didn't change that.
Joseph Bertucci was already all in and at risk preflop for a bit over 30,000 from middle position against Taisei Goto, who had Bertucci covered from directly behind.
Joseph Bertucci: A♥A♠
Taisei Goto: K♣K♠
It was another instance of a classic hold'em cooler, and the 5♣Q♠10♥4♠6♥ runout kept Bertucci's aces best for the double-up.
