Just before the blinds increased, middle position raised to 16,000 and the cutoff re-raised to 50,000. Nolan Kido was on the button and moved all in for around 59,000. Both the blinds folded, middle position and the cuoff called, taking the players three-ways to the flop.
The board came 8♦10♥7♣ and middle position checked. The cutoff moved all in and middle position folded, leaving Kido and the cutoff to show their cards.
Nolan Kido: A♥A♣
Cutoff: J♥J♣
The cutoff was looking for a jack or the straight to come in but the 2♦ and 4♣ runout didn't bring anything in for them.
Kido secured the double.

Dan Zogman raised to 25,000 from under the gun and the player in the big blind defended.
The flop came 7♥8♣3♦ and the big blind checked, who had roughly 50,000 behind.
Zogman bet enough to put the big blind all in, and after a moment of thought the big blind folded A♠K♦ face up.

John Myung went all in for less than 80,000 in chips and, according to him, he hadn't won a flip in the last week and a half. James Rann on his left also went all in, covering but not by much.
John Myung: J♣J♦
James Rann: A♦K♣
The board was no help to Rann as it ran out 4♥3♦2♠7♦2♦ and Rann was left with a paltry stack as the bubble quickly approached.
