On a flop of Q♣10♠9♦, Emily Sun check-called a bet of 3,600 by Eric Starker on the button before both opted to check down the J♠ turn and 6♣ river. Sun tabled her J♣10♥ and the two pair were good, as Starker's A♦Q♦ had only been ahead preflop and on the flop.
In the meanwhile, Jordan Glazer re-entered one table over.
There was action on four tables at the same time and one player busted as Jordan Glazer was knocked out by Andrew Porter.
John Lytle squeezed to 8,500 preflop after he had just been moved tables. He then reluctantly called a reraise to 21,500 by Lou Esposito, who jammed the 8♦6♦3♠ flop to force a fold.
Three ways to the Q♦8♣4♣ flop with no action, the big blind bet the 7♣ turn for 2,600. Jean Augustin on the button raised to 12,000 and Thomas Laviano in the small blind check-raised to 30,000. The big blind folded, as did Augustin.
"Show the bluff," the big blind said and Laviano only flashed the 6♠.
Last but not least, John Hackbart three-bet jammed for 31,200 and Benjamin Duronio folded.
Xiaoqiong Liu raised to 2,000 and a short stack then jammed out of the hijack. Gregory Bauer on the button sighed and then also moved all-in with a near identical stack, all players behind including Liu folded.
Hijack: 9♣9♦ 
Gregory Bauer: Q♥Q♦
The superior pair held on the 8♣6♦2♣A♥A♠ runout and Bauer climbed back near the starting stack after covering his opponent by a mere 300 chips.
Bauer then explained in table chat that Lou Esposito had previously folded an overpair top him when he had a full house as he "made it a little too easy" for his opponent to get away from it before essentially losing every pot thereafter.
Pranav Sarda raised to 2,000 from under the gun and Andrew Porter called in the cutoff. The button then jammed for 30,800 and Eric Starker in the small blind opted to flat-call.
Sarda went into the tank before he pulled back his initial raise, took another couple of seconds and then pushed forward his entire stack of around 42,000. Porter folded and Starker snap-called.
"Aces?" Porter asked Sarda but Starker instantly replied that he had them instead.
Button: Q♦J♦
Pranav Sarda: J♥J♠
Eric Starker: A♥A♣
The A♠4♦3♥ flop cemented the already commanding lead of Starker and he only had to fear a deuce after the 5♥ turn for a three-way chop.
No miracle escape came on the 6♠ river and Starker knocked out two players to take the lead.
Colin Moll raised to 2,000 and Vittorio Abbate defended his big blind to then check-call a bet of 2,000 by Moll on the A♣Q♥6♣ flop.
On the 4♠ turn, Abbate bet 3,500 for Moll to call.
The 6♥ river paired the board and Abbate bet another 8,000 for Moll to call with the words "I think we chop".
Abbate tabled his A♠9♣ which indeed chopped the pot, as Moll held the A♦8♦.
The previous remark in table chat about Emily Sun and her VPIP was very likely in jest as she has been active at the table and the latest open raise to 1,600 came from under the gun. Her only caller was David Olsgan in the big blind, who opted to check the Q♠9♣2♥ flop with Sun checking back.
Olshan also checked the J♦ turn and then folded when Sun bet 2,000.
Level: 6
Blinds: 400/800
Ante: 800
Gregory Bauer raised to 1,500 and was called three ways by Lou Esposito, Benedetto Bianco and Sharman Olshan in the big blind.
Once they checked the A♥5♠2♦ flop, Olshan bet the Q♥ turn for 2,500 and the 10♥ river for 3,500. Only Bauer called and then mucked when he was shown the A♠4♥ for top pair.
The table chatter between Robert Ozello and John Lytle continued when the former mentioned he had folded pocket treys in a hand that saw the elimination of Luis Nargentino.
On a board of K♥10♣3♥8♣9♥, Nargentino's ace-queen missed a gutshot to crack the A♥A♣ of Lytle who continued his rampant surge on the leaderboard.
Picking up the action on the 6♣5♠5♦K♣ turn, Stephen Press in the big blind bet 6,500 and was called by Xiaoqiong Liu in middle position.
Press then also bet the A♥ river for 15,000 and folded when Liu pushed all-in for slightly more than two times of that.
