Travis Egbert checked the 9♣4♥9♥ flop in middle position before Elvyn Bello fired 18,000 from the cutoff. After taking some time, Egbert announced all in and was snap-called by Bello.
Elvyn Bello: A♠9♠ 
Travis Egbert: K♥J♣
Bello flopped trip aces, improving to a full house on the 8♠8♣ runout to double up through Egbert.
Action was three-way to the 5♥3♣K♣ flop, where Paul Lee checked from the big blind. Martin Carnero followed with a check in middle position and Gevork Kasabyan fired 12,000 on the button.
Lee made the call while Carnero got out of the way. The 9♣ turn saw Lee check again and Kasabyan slid out a bet of 14,000. Lee then check-raised to 35,000 and Kasabyan made the call.
The dealer flipped over the J♠ river and Lee announced all in for 89,000. Kasabyan took some time before sending his cards into the muck.
"Flush?" asked Kasabyan, which was answered by a nod from Lee as he raked in the pot.
At nearby tables, Matthew Salsberg and Kenneth Kim were both sent to the rail.
Faraz Jaka opened under the gun to 6,500 and Jonathan Cohen called from early position. Action folded to Ari Shin who called from the cutoff.
All three players checked the flop of 2♥5♣10♦.
This led to the 7♠ turn. Jaka pushed forward 19,500 and Cohen called before Shin folded.
The Q♦ river did not slow down Jaka who slid out 50,000. Cohen snap called the bet.
Jaka rolled over J♥J♦ while Cohen revealed a flopped set with 5♠5♥.
Travis Egbert opened to 7,000 on the button and Zaher Samaan defended his big blind.
The 8♣A♠A♣ flop saw Samaan check to Egbert, who fired 3,500. The call was made and the 6♥ turn was flipped up. Samaan checked again and Egbert sized up to 11,500.
After taking some time, Samaan opted to lay it down and Egbert added more chips to his growing stack.
A four-way hand took place when Jonathan Cohen opened under the gun to 8,000. Action folded to Evgeniy Tsyrenov who called. Both Billy Baxter and Faraz Jaka called from the small and big blind respectively to take four players to the flop.
The wet flop of 5♣6♦4♣ began with a check from Baxter before Jaka slid out 8,000. Cohen folded leading to Tsyrenov calling.
Baxter responded with a check raise to 40,000 folding out Jaka.
Tsyrenov mulled over his decision before letting go of his hand awarding the pot to Baxter, who flashed the 7♣ to the table as he raked in the chips.
Zaher Samaan opened to 7,500 in the hijack before Elvyn Bello moved all in on his left for 50,500. Action folded back to Samaan, who took some time before making the call.
Elvyn Bello: A♠K♥
Zaher Samaan: J♥J♦
Bello was flipping for his tournament life and connected with the 8♣10♥K♣ flop to make top pair. Samaan could not catch up on the 7♦ turn or Q♥ river, as Bello doubled his stack.
