Danny Tang: A♣Q♥
Paul Newey: 8♣8♠
Adrien Delmas: J♠10♠
It was looking good for a near triple-up for Newey on the 2♥7♠6♣ flop and the 5♦ turn changed nothing. However the J♥ peeled off on the river and gave Delmas a pair to send Tang and Newey packing.
Martin Kabrhel raised from middle position to 50,000 and Joey Weissman jammed from the cutoff for around 110,000. Samuel Ju moved in over the top for a similar stack from the button. Kabrhel called with the covering stack to try and claim both bounties.
Joey Weissman: 3♠3♦
Samuel Ju: 6♦6♠

He did exactly that by taking the lead with top pair on the K♠A♠4♥ flop. The rest of the board ran out J♣2♥ and Kabrhel sent both Weissman and Ju to the rail.

Joe Hindry: K♠10♠
Zachary Grech: A♣2♣
With Kabhrel sat between them calling for a "King", it was delivered on the 2♥K♦8♣ flop, putting Hindry into the lead.
The 2♦ turn gave Grech trip deuces to take back the pot.
The A♠ river saw Grech elimiate Hindry, and he took home a minimum cash. All was not lost though as he had successfully collected a number of bounty chips.
