The board was all but rushed away and Rutger Hennen took a hit to his stack when he paid off the J♠J♥ of Christy Cranford. His 5♥4♥ had flopped a pair and flush draw, turned two pair but was second-best on the 8♥4♣2♥5♦J♦ river.

Four players went to a flop of 9♥7♦Q♦ when Richard Trigg bet 3,500 from middle position. Only Ronald Lane called in the small blind.
The turn was the 10♠ and Trigg bet another 6,000. Lane again called, and the Q♣ fell on the river. Trigg then bet 15,000, and Lane snap-called.
Trigg showed Q♥7♥ for a full house, and Lane flashed K♣Q♠ as he mucked.
Michael Kinney jammed his short stack of 13,500 from an early position and Lara Eisenberg called, the rest of the table folded.
Michael Kinney: K♣Q♣
Lara Eisenberg: A♣J♣
"A lot of clubs out there," another player remarked and Eisenberg replied "hard to make a flush".
No clubs followed on the Q♠10♠3♠A♥10♥ board and the turned ace sent Kinney to the rail.
With around 8,000 in the pot on the A♣6♣Q♥ flop, Paul Volpe checked from early position, and David Levine fired out for 3,700 from the button. Volpe continued with a call.
The 2♥ brought another check from Volpe, and Levine announced a bet of 16,400. After giving it some thought, Volpe elected to toss his cards away.
The action was picked up on a board of 3♠Q♠A♣9♥ with roughly 20,000 in the pot. Amila Ramadanovic in the big blind bet 6,000 and received a call by Safira Molina in middle position.
Ramadanovic fired 7,000 on the Q♥ river but Molina raised all-in for 46,300.
It didn't take long for Ramadanovic to call with 3♥3♦ for a full house, but Molina had a better full house with A♠Q♦ to double up.
Santiago Moises raised to 1,700 under the gun. Shaun Deeb called next to act, and Steven Karp defended his big blind. It checked to Deeb on the J♣6♦4♠ flop, who fired a bet of 1,500. Both Karp and Moises called, and the 5♠ appeared on the turn.
Karp promptly led out with a bet of 3,300, taking down the pot as his two opponents mucked in quick succession.
Martin Kinder raised to 1,600 under the gun, and only Berkeley Yuan called in the big blind.
Yuan check-called a bet of 1,500 on a 8♦9♦J♥ before leading out with a 3,500 bet on a 7♥ turn, which Kinder called.
Yuan barrelled on the A♥, putting 4,500 into the pot. Kinder called and tabled J♣10♠ for a straight, and Yuan mucked.
Jeremy Becker opened from middle position and was three-bet to 5,200 by Jeremy Hyman in the cutoff. Action folded back to Becker, who said, "Ten point eight," as he tossed in his entire stack of 10,800 into the middle. Hyman quickly called and a showdown was held.
Jeremy Becker: A♣A♦
Jeremy Hyman: A♥K♦
It was a perfect time to pick up aces for Becker, and the 9♣8♥4♦8♦6♠ runout provided him with a sweat-free runout for the double up.
Vegard Ropstad bet 1,200 from the cutoff on a flop of 9♠4♦7♦ and Kevin Burris called in early position. Srivinay Irrinki then raised to 6,000 in middle position, and only Burris called.
The turn was the 3♦ and Irrinki moved all in. Burris called for his last 14,400 and turned over A♦Q♦ for the nut flush. Irrinki had 7♠7♥ for a set and needed the board to pair on the river, but he missed the 5♠ and handed over the double up.
Three ways to the K♠K♦2♥ flop, Ryusei Fujimoto bet 2,000 and Bradley Jansen called on the button. The 2♦ turn was checked to Jansen who bet 3,100 and Fujimoto called. Both then checked the Q♦ river and Fujimoto tabled the A♠J♣, Jansen won the pot with the 5♥5♣.
Soon after that, the table lost Nicolas Antouard.
