Action checked through the 9♣ turn to the 5♥ river at which point Leibgorin bet out 3,000. Shimodan responded with a raise to 10,000 which Leibgorin quickly called before mucking after Shimodan tabled 5♠5♦ for the rivered full house.

Christopher Puetz opened to 1,000 from the cutoff and he was called by the big blind.
On a flop of 10♦7♣8♠, Puetz continued for 2,000. The big blind, who checked, snap-called. However he quickly check-folded when Puetz fired a second barrel of 4,800 on the A♣ turn.

Michael Moncek raised to 900 from middle position, and Aristide Carozza in the cutoff made the call. Then the small blind Chris Dandrea three-bet to 3,300. After it folded back to Moncek, he four-bet all in for 19,100. Carozza folded, and after confirming the count Dandrea made the call.
Michael Moncek: A♦7♦
Chris Dandrea: A♠K♥
Moncek was dominated by the ace-king of Dandrea, and the 9♣Q♠3♦ flop was no help to Moncek. The 10♦ on the turn did bring Moncek more outs with a flush draw. But when the 9♠ hit the river, Dandrea's ace-king high was still best, and Moncek was eliminated from the tournament.
