Anthony Spinella raised from under the gun to 16,000, the cutoff called with 81,000 behind, and Alex Keating called in the big blind.
The flop of Q♦Q♠K♣ checked around, and the trio went to a turn, which landed the 6♦. Keating checked, Spinella bet 12,000, the cutoff called and Keating got out of the way.
On the J♥ river, Spinella moved all in, putting himself at risk, and the cutoff called. The cutoff tabled Ax10x for a straight, but fell to the Q♥Q♣ of Spinella, who flopped quads. The cutoff was left with a single 1,000 denomination chip.

A player in early position raised to 18,000, which was called by Ted Lawson in middle position. It folded to the hijack who moved all in for about 200,000 chips. It folded back to the original raiser who sat in the tank for about a minute, before laying his hand down. However, Lawson decided to make the call for his last 30,000 chips.
Ted Lawson: 4♣4♦
Hijack: Q♣Q♥
Lawson was in desperate shape after the 10♠A♠J♥ flop ran out. Lawson was getting up from his seat to leave the tournament area, when the 4♠ came on the turn. He immediately sat back down and the 10♦ on the river improved him to a full house, and more than doubled his stack.

Players were at a flop of 4♥6♥3♥ when Brad Steinberg from a late position raised to 13,000, getting a fold from the small blind and a call from middle position.
The turn brough a fourth heart to the board, the 10♥, and both players checked down to the A♦ river.
Middle position checked, but Steinberg raised the stakes to 15,000. Middle position folded and Steinberg showed 5♥5♠ for the flush.
Another player shared with the table that they "could have got my jam through preflop" as Steinberg scooped the pot.

When PokerNews approached the table, three players were all in and the big blind was lamenting he didn't cover all three and tossed his hand in the muck.
Arturo Franco: A♥5♦
Late Position: 3♥3♠
Maui Tetoofa: 9♣9♦
The flop rolled Q♥2♠J♥, keeping Tetoofa in the lead but Franco gained some outs when the 5♣ peeled. Franco then found his triple up when the A♠ made him two pair on the river.

Player 2: J♥J♣
Alex Jauragui: A♦K♠

The ace on the flop of a A♠10♠7♦6♠K♣ board saw Jauragui eliminate two players and move up to around 400,000 in chips.
