Tanner Pray checked the A♣K♣3♠10♦9♥ board and Dimitar Danchev one seat over then bet 100,000 with only 17,000 behind. Pray went deep into the tank before he called and then mucked when he was shown A♦K♠ for top two pair by Danchev.
Adam Calabrese raised to 12,000 from early position to see both Philip Lucia on the button and Jessica Richards in the small blind call.
The flop rolled out A♦K♥6♦ to see action check around to Lucia, who bet 20,000, and only Richards called.
Both players checked the turn 2♣ to the river 9♠, where Richards bet 33,000 and won.
As Richards raked in the pot, she briefly flashed her cards but it was so brief that the table was left debating what it was that was shown.
Sergio Garcia Leon moved all in for his final 1,000. Yang Zhang on his left raised to 13,000, and everyone else folded. There was some confusion about what the size of the pot should be, with some players claiming 9,000 and the others 10,000. Eventually, 10,000 was settled on, and the board was ran.
Sergio Garcia Leon: K♣J♣ 
Yang Zhang: K♥Q♥
"Jack, one time," asked Garcia Leon, but it wasn't to be so shortly after suffering a nasty two-outer. The 6♠8♣4♠6♣6♦ board confirmed his elimination, and Garcia was unable to have his "chip and a chair" moment.
As play slowed down throughout the tournament room, Christopher Selami, sporting a Sonic the Hedgehog beanie, raised to 13,000 in middle position. Arthur Dore then three-bet to 39,000 in the cutoff, which Selami quickly called once the action had folded back to him.
Dore fired bets of 27,000 on the J♦5♣Q♣ flop and 103,000 on the 2♦ turn. Selami rapidly check-called twice, after which the 7♦ river was checked down.
Selami tabled J♠10♠ for second pair, taking down the pot as Dore sighed and mucked.
"Can you take the Sonic beanie off?" Elijah Winkler jokingly asked Selami as he stacked his newly acquired chips. "Something has to change around here."
Three ways to the 6♠5♦2♠9♠ turn, Tyler Gaston bet 67,000 out of the big blind and Christopher George called as they headed to the 4♦ on the river. Gaston now bet 350,000 and George called all in for 204,000 to get shown the A♣2♥ for a bluff gone wrong, allowing George to double with the K♠Q♠ for the king-high flush.
One hand later, Chris Moorman doubled his shorter stack off Ben Ramon when K♥K♦ held on a board of A♠7♠4♥6♠6♥.
Brian Carraher opened to early position for 12,000 and he saw four players call. James Miles called from middle position, Martin Gerloff from late position, David Kurtz from the small blind and Norman Murray defended his big blind.
The J♦10♦9♠ flop was checked to Carraher, who opted to bet 32,000. Miles made a quick call, Gerloff mucked along with Kurts, but Murray took some time before calling to see the 7♥ turn.
Action checked around the table and all three remaining players got to the A♥ river. Murray checked, Carraher bet 105,000 and Miles called. Murray mucked leaving the players to table their hands.
Miles showed A♠Q♠ for top pair, and Carraher flashed his hand quickly before mucking saying, "nines," as he did so.
Phillip Mighall made it 16,000 to play from the cutoff and was looked up by Abraham Lusk in the big blind.
On the K♥2♥A♦ flop Lusk check-called Mighall's 9,000 continuation-bet for the 5♥ to peel off on the turn.
Action went check, check as it did on the 4♣ river.
Lusk tabled K♦9♣ for second pair and was shipped the pot when Mighall mucked his cards.
Arnaud Mattern open-jammed from the cutoff covering all players behind, with two on about 15 blinds and one on six blinds.
Nicholas Romanello called off his 89,000 stack from the button, and the blinds got out of the way.
Nicholas Romanello: A♣J♥
Arnaud Mattern: 10♥2♥
Mattern was paying homage to the late Doyle Brunson as their tablemates took out their phones to document the absurd situation.
The Q♣6♥7♥ flop was a sweaty one, giving Mattern a flush draw while Romanello remained in front with ace-high.
Nothing changed on the 6♣ turn, but the Q♥ landed on the river, giving Mattern a flush to eliminate Romanello about 95 spots from the money.
Cleveland Richards and Sergio Garcia Leon on his left got it in preflop from the hijack and cutoff respectively. Garcia Leon had his opponent covered by a single T-1,000 chip.
Cleveland Richards: A♦7♠
Sergio Garcia Leon: A♠Q♥
Garcia Leon had his opponent completely dominated, and that fact didn't change on the K♠10♥9♠ flop. The 3♠ turn had him just one card away from the elimination, but the nightmare 7♥ river had him pounding the table, in disbelief that his opponent got there. Also at the table, Will Givens announced that he had folded 7x3x making the beat a two-outer.
Michael Melkersen raised to 15,000 from early position, with Jonathan Aburto calling in the cutoff, Adedapo Ajayi calling on the button, and Emrah Yildiz defending from the big blind.
After two checks on the 4♣2♦J♦ flop, Aburto bet 24,000, with Ajayi the lone caller.
Heads-up to the Q♥ turn, both players checked through to the 8♣ river. Aburto then fired around 75,000, and Ajayi quickly released his hand.
