In three-way action to the K♦6♠4♠ flop, Michael Renna bet and Kartik Rao was the only caller from two seats over. The 4♦ turn saw Renna bet another 28,000 and Rao called once more before they checked the 7♥ on the river. Renna briefly showed pocket fives but Rao won the pot with the K♥Q♣ for kings and fours.
Action was picked up on the river of a board reading 2♣6♣5♠10♥4♦ with big blind player Akihiro Konishi announcing, "All in," pushing forward his stack of 117,500. Cutoff player Marc Kravitz, with 97,000 in his stack, went deep into the tank.
His initial reaction was to stand up and clap his hands, almost in disbelief at his opponent's overbet-shove with the pot standing 50,000 strong. He took quite some time before opening up his phone, starting to record, and sticking in his chips.
His face was one of overwhelming relief upon seeing the A♦8♠ of his opponent for an airball. His 6♥3♥ for a straight was good, as he secured a massive double.
Antonio Ruelas got his 72,500 remaining chips in on the button against Masato Yokosawa in the hijack and was at risk.
Antonio Ruelas: K♠K♦ 
Masato Yokosawa: Q♠Q♣
Ruelas looked poised to double up, but Yokosawa found a queen on the 3♦9♦4♣Q♥ turn to take a massive lead. The 8♦ river did not bring a king, sending Ruelas to an expletive-filled exit.
One hand later, Michael Conoran open-raised in early position, and Jesse Lonis defended his big blind. After the 2♠2♥9♥ flop checked through, Lonis barreled 11,000 on the 2♦ turn.
Conoron called, and did so too when Lonis piled in 41,500 on the 3♥ river. Lonis tabled Q♠Q♦ for a slow-played pair of queens, but Conoron had better as he tabled A♠A♣ for pocket aces.
After the hand, Johan Guilbert sat down at the table, having been moved from a broken table.
"Ah, it's already the final table, I see," the jovial Frenchman said before he and Yokosawa reminisced about some previous encounters.
Daniel Suied opened to 5,500 from the hijack before Luis Gamboa Quilcate responded with a three-bet to 14,000. Seong Han raised the stakes when he four-bet to 32,000 from the big blind. Suied folded, but Quilcate made the call.
The 4♦9♣8♦ flop resulted in a continuation bet of 30,000 from Han. Quilcate chose to go all-in for 79,500, and Han made the call to put Quilcate at risk.
Luis Gamboa Quilcate: A♠A♥
Seong Han: 10♠10♣
Quilcate was well ahead with two cards to come as Han was searching for only two outs.
The 9♦ turn did not alter the standings, and the 6♦ river sealed it in favor of Quilcate, who secured the double-up.
Seeing a raise to 5,500 from Ashish Yeole in early position ahead of her, Kristen Foxen three-bet to 16,000 on the button. The action returned to Yeole, who called.
The monotone 9♥Q♥5♥ flop saw Yeole check and Foxen bet 11,000. Yeole then check-raised to 34,000, which quickly drew a fold from Foxen.
The action was picked up on a board of 5♠6♠10♠K♥5♥ with Jack Hardcastle in the big blin overbetting to 42,000.
Romain Lewis on the button went deep into the tank and eventually made the call. Hardcastle flipped over J♠5♦. Lewis was about to reveal his cards as well, but realized Hardcastle had rivered trips and mucked his hand instead.
In a preflop three-bet pot to the 10♦4♣2♠ flop, Terrance Reid checked and then called a bet worth 18,000 by Hai Chen. Reid checked again on the A♣ turn, after which Chen wasted very little time before he moved all in for slightly more than 100,000. The snap-fold by Reid followed, and he said, "Nice hand," right away.
Two tables over, word on the street is that Joseph Cheong won an "absolutely ridiculous hand in three-way action with a dry side pot" to significantly increase his stack.
Kanishka Reddy limped from the small blind, and Trung Le raised to 8,500 from the big blind. Reddy called, and the Q♥A♣K♦ flop was dealt.
Reddy check-folded after Le bet out 7,500. Le said, "Good fold, I had a Monster!" and flipped over Q♦Q♣ for a set. He continued, "I always have a monster."
The pair continued to talk about the hand, and Reddy said, "I had backdoor hearts, and a ten, ten-high."
Casey Sandretto opened to 5,500 from middle position, and Skyler Dennis made the call from the cutoff. Big blind Rebecca Lakepool then moved all in for her 24,500. Sandretto called, Dennis shoved, and Sandretto let his cards go.
Rebecca Lakepool: A♠10♠
Skyler Dennis: A♥Q♥
Lakepool was looking for a triple, and the 4♦K♦7♠J♦J♠ had her doing a double-take, but unfortunately she couldn't salvage a chop, and she headed for the exit.
