Craig Chait raised in the cutoff and Michael Chow called on the button, as did Bryce Yockey in the big blind. The trio checked the K♦8♣2♠ flop and Chait then bet the Q♠ turn when checked to by Yockey, which sent Chow deep into the tank.
Chow sigh-folded after long deliberation and Yockey called as they headed to the K♣ on the river. Yockey's bet was called by Chait, who could not beat the A♦A♠7♠5♦ of Yockey. "I had queen-deuce ... ace, queen, deuce," Chow mentioned in the table chat.

Action folded around to Sam Farha on the button who made it two bets to go and was called by Jay Kerbel in the big blind.
The dealer spread the 10♣2♦6♣ flop and Kerbel check-called a bet from Farha. The J♥ turn checked through, as did the 4♠ river.
Farha showed A♣K♠7♦2♣ for an emergency low and Kerbel tabled J♠K♣7♥5♣ for top pair jacks.

Michael Chow was all-in twice and survived the first hand to chip up slightly thanks to a chop while Yuri Dzivielevski was also on the verge of getting eliminated but escaped.
On a flop of J♦4♥3♦, the Brazilian was all-in for 65,000 total and looked up by Corey Hochman.
Yuri Dzivielevski: A♠K♠Q♠2♦
Corey Hochman: A♦J♣10♦2♥
The K♥ turn propelled Dzivielevski into the lead but the 5♥ river gave both a wheel for the full chop.
Chow then limped in and the action continued to a three-way flop of Q♣7♣4♥ on which Kyle Cartwright checked, as did Craig Chait. Chow bet and received two calls.
Cartwright bet the 10♣ turn and Chait folded while Chow called all-in for the last 25,000 chips he had behind.
Michael Chow: A♦J♠6♦3♠
Kyle Cartwright: A♠K♥5♣3♣
Chow was drawing to a low but on very thin ice against the flush of Cartwright. No low came as the 10♦ river burst the money bubble.

A cat with many lives on his severe short stack, Yuri Dzivielevski eventually got it in again when facing Johannes Becker as he check-called the 8♦4♣3♥ flop and then checked the Q♦ turn. Becker bet, and Dzivielevski had two T-25,000 chips behind, which he tossed into the middle.
There was some confusion about whether that was a call for a full bet of 30,000 or an all-in, to which Becker responded "I am fine with either way". Dzivielevski replied, "I want to go all-in," and so he did, creating the following showdown.
Yuri Dzivielevski: K♥7♥5♥3♣
Johannes Becker: K♠8♥5♣2♠
The A♥ on the river gave Becker the wheel, and Dzivielevski was knocked out in 32nd place.

Bryce Yockey bet the turn and river of the K♠K♦8♦2♣J♥ board and a seemingly confused Jason Berilgen called it down for the last of his chips. Yockey tabled his A♦J♦5♠4♦ and Berilgen bemoaned "I didn't even see the diamonds ... wait, you don't have a flush?!"
Berilgen then tabled his A♥Q♦8♥4♥ for inferior two pair and a missed low draw to become the second casualty in the money.
"I was in good shape then," he said on his way to the payout desk.
