Sam Grafton: 
Bin Weng: 
Chris Hunichen:

to give him a set of jacks, and Grafton hit the rail in miserable fashion.

Daniel Smiljkovic: 
Stephen Chidwick:
Johan Guilbert:
Smiljkovic found perhaps one of the easiest decisions of his life in the big blind of the first hand of the day and was looking to triple.
The board ran out 
to give Smiljkovic the triple and keep Chadwich around the same number of chips as he won the side pot.
