Hand #59: Polychronopoulos limped in from under the gun, Kurth completed from the small blind, and Taylor checked his option. When the flop came 
, Kurth moved all-in, and his power play took the pot down.
Hand #60: Taylor opened for 100,000 from the small blind, Polychronopoulos defended his big blind with a reraise to 240,000, and this bet was enough to fold Taylor.
Hand #61: Kurth opened for the minimum raise of 80,000 in the cutoff, and Polychronopoulos used his big stack to his advantage, three-betting to 250,000 and forcing Kurth to muck.
Hand #62: The action folded around to Carlton in the small blind, who raised to 90,000 and claimed the blinds and antes without a contest.
Hand #63: Carlton saw the table fold around to him, and holding the button, he decided to limp in. Cada completed from the small blind, and Mutke pounced on the apparent weakness by raising the bet to 125,000. Carlton's limp was deceptive, however, and he pumped it up to 265,000, a bet that forced Mutke to release.
Hand #64: Polychronopoulos raised to 90,000 from the hijack, and Mutke pulled his small blind back in favor of a larger bet, making it 240,000 to play. Polychronopoulos was undeterred, however, and he moved all-in over the top, dropping Mutke and taking down another pot.
