Justin Young raised to 1,100 from under the gun and was three-bet to 3,500 by David Bach in middle position. Action folded back around to Young, who called.
Young checked to Bach on the 6♦7♦2♣ flop and he continued for 2,500. Young folded without much thought and offered a, "Nice hand," to Bach as Bach collected the pot.

Phillip Hayes moved all in from the button for his final 6,000 chips. Cameron Paradiso called from early position and Tyler Lunn called in the hijack.

Phillip Hayes: 3♦2♦ 
Tyler Lunn: A♠9♠

Heads-up on a flop of 5♦J♣K♦, David Nunez bet 2,200 from under the gun and Guilherme Pessoa called in the small blind.
The turn was the Q♣ and Nunez bet 5,000. Pessoa then raised to 13,500, Nunez moved all in for around 32,000, and Pessoa snap called.
Nunez showed K♣Q♠ for two pair, but Pessoa had A♥10♦ for the nut straight. Nunez needed to fill up on the river to stay alive but missed the J♥ as he headed for the exit.

Action picked up on the river in a hand between Dragana Mackelprang in the cutoff and the player in the hijack.
With about 37,000 in the pot and the board reading 6♥7♣Q♦2♦10♠, the hijack checked and Mackelprang fired out a bet of 21,000.
The hijack, who was clearly faced with a tough decision, asked Mackelprang, "You wouldn't bluff me on Day 1, would you?"
Mackelprang smiled and the hijack eventually tossed his cards into the muck. Mackelprang tabled 6♦6♣ for three of a kind, sixes.
Robert Beaster opened the action with a raise to 1,600 from the hijack. Maksim Paniak three-bet to 4,800 from the small blind and Beaster made the call.
