Dario Minieri raised on the button, Dan Kelly three-bet to 33,000 out of the small blind, and John Hennigan re-raised the pot out of the big blind. Minieri folded, and Kelly tanked for a bit before moving all in for an extra 20,000 or so. Hennigan called.
Kelly: 
Hennigan: 
The 
flop didn't change anything, and the 
on the turn was a blank as well, but the 
spiked on the river to give Kelly a winning pair of aces. At the site of the ace, Hennigan threw his hands in the air in disgust, then exited the tournament area to collect his $12,601 in winnings.

Marafioti: 
Katz: 
The board ran out 
, leaving Marafioti with only 28,000.
A few hands later, action folded to Marafioti in the cutoff, and he raised pot. Bertrand Grospellier reraised from the button, and the blinds got out of the way. Marafioti called off his last 4,000 and turned over 
. Grospellier's 
had him dominated however, and a board of

Eugene Katchalov raised to 12,000 in early position, Mark Herm three-bet to 28,000 out of the small blind, and Katchalov re-raised the pot, making it 90,000. Herm asked to see the rest of Katchalov's stack - it was 32,000 more - and Herm moved all in. Katchalov quickly called.
Katchalov:
Herm:
The dealer fanned , giving Katchalov a set, and Herm needed a king or running diamonds to score the knockout. The bricked on the turn, and so too did the 
on the river, and Katchalov doubled to 246,000 chips.
"Comfort zone," someone on the rail said to Herm, referring to his 20-big blind stack. "Comfort zone."
"Comfort zone?" Herm responded. "I still have Todd."
For some reason, Herm and some of his good friends took Todd Heap, the former tight end of the Baltimore Ravens, and use his first name to refer to their stack when they have "heaps." We'll update you on any more lingo information comes along.
