Eric Varnado bet on a flop of K♠6♥2♣ and was called by Ben Vidal and Tomomitsu Ono.
The turn came the 6♣ and Varnado bet the rest of his chips. Vidal and Ono both called to the Q♠ river, where Vidal put out a bet. Ono tank-called and both players showed ace-king.
Varnado, though, had 8♠6♦6♠2♥ for quad sixes as he tripled up.
"How did you like that turn card," Erik Perry asked him as Varnado found new life in the tournament.
Action folded to Qinghai Pan on the button who raised. Jeffrey Mitseff called from the big blind and both players headed to an 8♥A♠K♣ flop.
Mitseff led with a bet for the rest of his chips and Pan quickly called to put Mitseff at risk with two cards to come.
Jeffrey Mitseff: A♣A♥Q♣J♥
Qinghai Pan: A♦Q♦8♣6♣
The board ran out with the 6♦ turn and K♠ river, giving Mitseff a full house and securing him a full double.
Jeffrey Mitseff bet a flop of 5♦2♠Q♥ before Jim Collopy raised. Ryan Scully called, as did Mitseff.
The turn came the 9♥ and action checked to Scully who bet. Both opponents called to the 4♠ river and checked through.
Collopy turned over A♣7♦2♦5♠ for two pair and a low to scoop the pot.
Mark Bixler moved all in from the cutoff and Ben Vidal and Nick Kost called in the blinds.
Vidal and Kost checked down the J♥4♣10♦3♠J♠ flop and Kost turned over 5♦K♣3♦2♣ for two pair, jacks and threes.
Vidal mucked and Bixler flashed A♠7♥ before he headed for the payout desk.
"Three ball, corner pocket," the 2014 champion of this event yelled out as he took in the pot.
On a flop of 9♥3♥J♣ with three active players, Ryan Scully checked from the small blind to see Kyle Cartwright bet from the under-the-gun position.
Brian Kelley put in a four-bet that was called by Scully and Cartwright before watching as the dealer burned and turned the A♣.
The players all checked through to the 9♣ river, on which all players checked through again.
Scully quickly threw the Q♣10♥9♠8♥ face up onto the middle of the table. Both Cartwright and Kelley stared at their cards for a few seconds before both tossing their cards face down toward the muck, conceding the whole pot to Scully.
Heads-up on a board of 8♥2♦K♦6♦, Erik Perry bet and Ben Vidal called.
Perry also bet the A♦ river and Vidal called. Vidal turned over A♥2♣3♠4♠ and prepared to split the pot with Perry before the table pointed out he won both the high pot with his two pair and the low.
"I thought you had the flush," Vidal told Perry.
"No, I didn't have a flush. How was there an ace left in the deck," Perry responded.
Heads-up on a flop of 2♥Q♥K♣, Brian Kelley bet and James Obst called in the small blind.
Both players checked the 8♠ turn before Obst led out with a bet on the K♠ river. Kelley called and Obst instantly mucked his hand.
"I don't have to show, right," Kelley asked as he collected the pot.
"Ace-queen good," tablemate Ryan Scully told him.

A player in the cutoff raised before facing a three-bet from Nick Kost in the small blind. Kevin Petersen put in the four-bet from the big blind, causing the cutoff to fold before Kost tossed in the call.
The flop came K♥2♣8♠ and Kost check-called a bet from Petersen before seeing the 7♥ turn.
Kost checked once more and Petersen bet the last of his chips. Kost called to put Petersen at risk as the two players headed to the river with their cards face up.
Kevin Petersen: A♦A♥8♥7♠
Nick Kost: A♠J♣10♠8♣
Petersen needed to fade a few outs for a double but the 10♦ river gave Kost two pair and sent Petersen to the rail in 17th place for $9,202.
