Michael Estes opened to 1,600 from middle position and he saw three callers. Jeffrey Hong called from the cutoff, Colin Huang called on the button, Edward Leonard called from the big blind.
The A♣7♥8♠ flop prompted action to check to Hong who bet 2,200. Huang called as did Leonard and Estes raised to 11,000. Hong mucked, Huang called and Leonard also got out of the way, sending players heads up to the 6♠ turn.
Estes checked to Huang who bet 12,000 and Estes made a quick call to see the 9♥ complete the board. Both snap-checked to showdown with Estes saying, "I have a straight," and he showed A♠5♦.
Huang responded "A straight? Oh my God," and he mucked his hand.
Estes continued by saying, "the turn doesn't come like that, I snap-fold."
Huang then replied, "I almost bombed it."
Heads up to the J♠K♣4♦ flop, Ian Matakis bet 1,500 from under the gun, and Eshaan Bhalla check-called. The J♦ turn then prompted Bhalla to lead out for 1,000. Matakas was having none of it and raised to 3,300, which Bhalla called.
Matakis then dropped in 9,500 on the 10♦ river. After some thought, Bhalla check-called to showdown. Matakis showed a full house with K♦J♥, and he raked in the pot when Bhalla mucked.

Action picked up on the turn with 14,000 in the middle and the board reading 10♥9♣5♣8♥ in a pot between Richard Ellis from early position and Virgil Page in the cutoff.
Ellis checked to Page, who took some before he elected to do the same.
On the 10♠ river, Ellis checked for a final time to Page who checked back after a few seconds. Ellis was happy to flip over J♥J♦, but it was second-best to the A♠A♥ of Page, and Ellis let out a smile after losing close to the minimum.
Action was picked up as William Klevitz was all in for 10,000 chips against Sebastian Pauli.
William Klevitz: 10♣10♠
Sebastian Pauli: A♠K♦
The board ran out Q♣4♥J♠9♣9♠, and Klevitz doubled.
Hryhorii Shevchenko raised to 1,800 from middle position, and Daniel Dayan three-bet to 5,000 from the cutoff. Shevchenko called.
The flop came down 5♦J♣Q♣, and Shevchenko quickly checked. Dayan continued for 3,500, only to be met by an immediate shove from Shevchenko.
With around 28,000 behind, Dayan had the effective stack. After just a few seconds, he flashed the 7♥ as he tossed his cards into the muck.
With 10,000 in the pot on the 2♣5♦10♣ flop, Simon Wilson checked from the big blind, and Julian Segura bet 5,300 from the hijack. Wilson made the call.
The 7♣ turn checked through before the J♣ completed the board. Wilson led out for 3,500, and after thinking it over for a while, Segura stuck in the call.
Wilson tabled A♦J♦ for a pair of jacks, but it was second best to Segura's A♥K♣ for a king-high flush.
Three-way to the 4♦7♦3♥8♥ turn, Alex Keating added 10,000 to the pot of 23,200. Renato Roizenblit called before Omar Lakhdari folded.
Keating then bet a tiny 3,000 on the 4♠ river. Roizenblit instantly called and won the pot when his 10♠10♣ bested the 9♣8♣ of Keating.
