Steven Abitbol made it 150,000 to play from middle position and found a call from Sascha Pregler on the button. Peter Daher sat in the small blind then three-bet pot to 650,000 which left him about 250,000 behind. Abitbol made the call and Pregler folded.
The flop came J♦Q♠7♦ and Daher moved all in which found a snap-call from Abitbol.
Peter Daher: A♦K♠K♣4♥
Steven Abitbol: Q♣Q♥5♥3♣
Abitbol had flopped a set to outdraw Daher, who still had outs to stay alive. The A♥ turn gave Daher some additional outs but when the river bricked out with the 9♥ Abitbol's set held firm and Daher was sent to the cage.
Withe the flop 10♣10♠9♠ on the board, Anthony Maiorano moved up all in on the button. Corey Wick and Kurtis Ruhl called from the blinds.

Kurtis Ruhl: 10♥10♦9♣5♣
Ruhl had flopped quads and Maiorano was done.
Shen Liang opened to 120,000 from early position, and Marcello Del Grosso made the call two seats to his left. Jason Daly potted to 530,000 from the small blind, and Christopher Swartz called all in from the big blind for his final 415,000. Both other players called Daly's bet to create a side pot.
Daly then announced "all in," on the Q♦10♣K♣ flop, and his opponents both folded.
Christopher Swartz: A♦K♠Q♣J♠
Jason Daly: A♣K♦Q♥2♣
Swartz had flopped the stones, but still needed to fade a club for his tournament life. The 7♥ turn changed nothing, but the case K♥ on the river gave both players top boat, as they chopped up the pot.
