A player opened to 17,000 from under the gun and was called by the cutoff. The button then moved all in with Justin Geary in the small blind tossing his last few chips into the middle. The under the gun player called the button shove as did the cutoff.
The two active players checked it all the way down on a board reading and the button player turned over
. No one else involved in the pot could beat that hand with Geary vacating his seat to head to the payout desk.

A player opened to 20,000 from under the gun and received a single call from Michael Rossitto on the button.
The under the gun player continued for 15,000 on the flop and Rossitto made the call to see a turn.
Both players checked through the board pairing turn to the
river where the under the gun player checked once again. Rossitto, unwilling to go to a cheap showdown, fired off a hefty 80,000. His opponent went into the tank but eventually decided to pick a better spot and released her cards.

Ben Yu opened to 24,000 from under the gun and the big blind defended to send the two players heads-up to the flop.
The big blind checked to the preflop raiser on the flop and Yu continued for 15,000. That bet was enough to get his opponent off of his hand keep the four time bracelet winner chipping up.

Tony Mah moved all in from the cutoff and was called by Alex Foxen in the small blind and the big blind.
The players checked the flop, then Foxen bet 12,000 on the
turn. The big blind folded and Foxen showed his
for a pair of fives.
Unfortunately for Foxen, he was trailing Mah's , which held a pair of aces. The
on the river changed nothing and Mah stayed alive with the help of Foxen.
