On a flop of 5♠7♦3♦, the action had checked to the early position player who bet 600. Cindy Ward then raised to 1,600, which got a few players to fold, but the player in early position called.
When the 6♦ fell on the turn, the action checked to Ward who fired a bet of 1,600, which was enough to earn her the pot as her opponent folded.

A player from early position raised to 400 and was called by a player in middle position. Nick Blackburn three-bet to 1,700 from the cutoff, which the early position player called and the middle position player folded.
The flop came 5♥J♣2♣ and the player in early position check-called the bet of 2,000.
After the turn came with the 6♦, both players checked to the river.
The river was the K♦ and after the early position player checked, Blackburn bet 2,000 and was quickly called. Blackburn tabled A♣K♥ for top pair, top kicker, and his opponent mucked his hand.
The table also relayed info about the first hand of the tournament, when Mark Brennan eliminated a player after flopping quad queens. Brennan and his opponent got all the chips in on the turn, when his opponent needed a K♥ for a royal flush. The river gave Brennan a sweat when it came the K♦, but his quads were still best and he doubled up on the first hand of the tournament.

With around 4,000 chips in the pot and a board that read 5♠8♠7♦4♠, Jeff Sardella had checked to the player in the hijack, who bet 5,000. Sardella then shoved his stack of 18,000 into the middle, and the hijack snap-called for 14,000 total.
Hijack: K♠Q♠ 
Jeff Sardella: 7♠6♠
The entire table was in disbelief that Sardella had turned a straight flush, which left the hijack drawing dead. A meaningless J♠ completed the board and Sardella was pushed the pot, which sent his opponent to the rail early on.

Acton was picked up with 1,000 chips in the pot, and a board showing 7♠J♥6♦. David Compton bet out 600 from the small blind, both the big blind and a player in the cutoff made the call.
The turn brought the K♦ and Compton again bet out 600, but this time the big blind folded, and the cutoff made the call.
On the river was the 8♥ and Compton fired out once more, for 1,000. The cutoff quickly called and tabled K♠Q♥ for top pair with kings, but Compton had the winner when he showed 10♥9♦ for a rivered straight.
