Chrysi Phiniotis raised to 17,000 in early position and picked up calls from Jill Gritsch in the cutoff and Karen Arthur in the big blind.
The trio checked throughout the board 10♠5♥K♦4♦ and a J♣ landed on the river. After a last check from Arthur, Phiniotis bet 22,000 and both Gritsch and Arthur called.
Phiniotis tabled 7♥4♥ while Gritsch showed A♦J♥ for a pair of jacks before Arthur tabled J♠J♦ for a set to claim the pot.
All the chips went in the middle preflop between Kimberley Kilroy, at risk and holding 3♥3♠, and Galya Zhekova, who had her covered and was holding A♦10♦.
Kilroy had good hopes for a double up as the board first showed 8♦K♠8♥9♥. However a 10♣ hit the river to give a better pair to Zhekova and send Kilroy to the payout desk.
Mary Dvorkin raised to 60,000 from the hijack position and the big blind, Aroha Ngata called.
The flop came 6♠A♥5♣ and Dvorkin kept up the aggression by betting 35,000 and Ngata made the call.
The turn 8♣ and the river 4♠ were both checked through and Dvorkin showed A♣9♦ and Ngata had A♦J♥ and the kicker played.
Dvorkin rapped the table and said, "Good hand".
Action was caught in a table with two players all in.
Kimberly Mcclymont: A♣A♠
Babette Chao: A♦K♠
The board ran out J♦10♦8♣8♠Q♠ and Chao found a straight on the river to crack Mcclymont's aces.
The board already showed J♥6♦A♣7♠A♥ in a heads-up pot when Lindsey McDougall checked. Maria Lampropulos thought about her move for some time and sent a bet worth 65,000. McDougall didn't take long to fold.
In a three-way raised pot, the flop showed 8♥7♣7♠ when Eunji Park checked in the small blind to Audrey Verlomme who shoved for her last 35,000. Lisa Roberts, on the button, made the call and Park let it go:
Audrey Verlomme: Q♠8♣
Lisa Roberts: K♠9♥
Verlomme had hit two pair and improved her hand when the rest of the board showed 5♦Q♦ to come back to a stack worth 105,000.
However, she was seen leaving the tournament's are just a few moments after that double up.
Pamela Balzano was at risk for a short stack worth around 35,000 and against Chiori Gannon who had made the call:
Pamela Balzano: Q♥J♥
Chiori Gannon: J♠9♦
Bolzano's hand held throughout the board 9♥8♠A♥Q♣2♣, giving her a pair of queens to take down the needed double up.
Eunji Park raised from early position to 16,000 and Daris Justice three-bet to 56,000 from late position. Park was deliberate in her actions and called.
The flop arrived with Q♠2♣10♥ and after it was checked to her Justice bet 38,000 and Park called.
Justice received the green light again on the checked turn A♠ and made a bet of 58,000 and Park called.
Justice gave up on the river 3♣ and both players checked. Park turned over A♥K♣ with a pair of aces and Justice mucked.
