Luke "Slay" Vrabel raised to 3,500 from the hijack and on the button, Cody Daniels three-bet to 8,500 which saw action fold back to Vrabel who moved all in for 70,000 and Daniels called.
Luke "Slay" Vrabel: A♣K♦ 
Cody Daniels: J♥J♠
The board ran out as no favor to Vrabel and Daniels secured the pot and the elimination.
Serena Liu three-bet an opening raise to 10,500 and Jonathan Dimmig then cold four-bet to 22,000 in the very next seat to force out the initial raiser. What followed was the five-bet shove by Liu for 69,500 and Dimmig called for nearly half of his stack.
Serena Liu: K♥K♠
Jonathan Dimmig: Q♦Q♣
The superior pair remained ahead all the way on the A♠7♠3♣9♦7♥ runout for Liu to double.
Eric Wong three-bet to 5,500 in the hijack before the small blind reraised to 15,000. Another player in early position then moved all in for 48,000, Wong reshoved, and the small blind folded.
All-In Player: Q♦Q♠
Eric Wong: A♠A♦
The at-risk player was far behind Wong's two aces as the flop came J♦8♦3♠. The J♥ turn was no help, while Wong improved to a full house on the A♥ river to send his opponent to the rail.
"You saved me. I was probably calling him," the small blind told Wong after the hand.
John Gorsuch was looking to take out his at risk opponent in a preflop all in.
At risk player: QxQx
John Gorsuch: Ax10x
The board ran out brutally for the queens as it came down Jx6xAx10xAx to bust the player holding them and Gorsuch moved his stack up.
Matthew Bretzfield raised to 3,000 in early position and Ryan Leng called in middle position. Mathieu Boucher then three-bet to 13,000 in the hijack and both Bretzfield and Leng called.
The flop came 9♦J♦5♠ and Boucher moved all in for 37,000. Only Leng called.
Mathieu Boucher: A♠J♠
Ryan Leng: 9♠8♠
Boucher was ahead with top pair as the A♣ fell on the turn to improve him to two pair. The river was the K♠ and Boucher doubled up.
"I got it in bad, stayed bad," Leng said after the hand.
This table also includes Andrew Day, Conrad Simpson, and Daniel Mulhall. "I won the Borgata Winter Open in 2009 for $63K. Still have some left over," Mulhall said.
"I was in the big blind," Day added, trying to join in on the action of the last pot.
"You came across the funnest table of the day," another tablemate added.
With 20,000 chips in the pot on a board of 2♥3♥6♥8♣2♣, Ethan Yau was a facing a bet of 11,000 from the player in the big blind. It took all of two seconds for Yau to make the call.
The big blind confidently tabled 8♥7♦ for a pair of eights, but Yau flipped K♠8♠ for eights with a king kicker, which earned him the pot.
Hon Cheong "Ivan" Lee raised to 3,500 from an early position and the small blind three-bet to 11,000. Lee then jammed and the small blind asked for a count.
"Around thirty five," Lee responded and his shove was counted to be for 39,500. The small blind called with the A♠K♦ and had "two flush draws" against Lee's A♥K♥.
Both chopped it up after a board of A♣7♦2♥4♦J♥ and the small blind bemoaned "why can't you have kings?"
There was a large pot of 90,000 in the middle already on a flop of Q♦5♠8♠. The button bet 55,000 and Albert Luna was in early position as he jammed all in for 143,000.
The button went into a deep tank as the shove was for over 90% of his chips. After a solid 3 minutes, he decided to call.
Button: K♥K♦
Albert Luna: A♥A♣
The turn was the 4♦ and the river the 10♥ as Luna gathered the huge pot.
The next hand he collected another one with a 20,000 value bet on the end with AxKx on a king high board which got a call as his chio surge continued.
The player in the hijack shoved for his last 14,000 and it was folded to Brent Hanks on the button, who also went all in for more. Everyone else got out of the way and a showdown was held.
Hijack: A♦8♠
Brent Hanks: A♣K♥
The 5♣3♥K♦ flop left Hanks' opponent all but drawing dead and the 7♣10♣ runout confirmed the knockout to send the pot Hanks' way.
"It's been a rough one, but we're still alive," Hanks said after collecting the pot.
