Larry Benardella bet on a board of 10♣6♣3♣2♥ before Matt Woodward put in a raise.
Benardella called to see the 4♣ river where he led out with a bet. Woodward raised again and Benardella quickly called.
Woodward turned over A♠A♣Q♠2♣ for the flopped nut flush, but Benardella had A♦5♦ to earn half of the pot with the fortunate river as Woodward frustratingly tossed his cards back to the dealer.
On a board of Q♣4♥2♣9♦, a player in the cutoff bet before Mel Judah, on the button, put in a raise.
The cutoff called to see the 6♠ river where Judah bet again. His opponent called and Judah opened up A♠6♥4♦3♥ for two pair and a low to scoop the whole pot.
Judah, who made the final table of this event last year, has already doubled his starting stack so far today.
Action folded to Rob Linchesky in late position who limped before the table folded around to Ken Aldridge in the big blind who checked his option to see a flop of 4♦5♥J♠. Both players checked through to the 6♣ turn card and Aldridge led with a bet.
Linchesky called and both players headed to the 8♠ river card which saw another bet from Aldridge and another call from Linchesky.
Aldridge turned up the Q♥4♠3♥2♦ while Linchesky turned over the 9♣4♥3♥2♥ with both sharing the same high and low hands and chopping the pot.

James Newberry bet on a 8♥2♣10♥ flop and Valentin Vornicu called from the cutoff.
The turn came the 2♥ and Newberry continued betting. Vornicu again called as the 4♥ fell on the river.
Newberry bet again and this time Vornicu peeked back at his cards before mucking.
In a pot that saw six players, including Brandon Shack-Harris all limp to a flop of 5♥9♠10♦, Shack-Harris opted to lead into the field with a bet that was called by players in the cutoff, button, small blind and Jim Szymanski in the big blind with five players seeing the 10♠ turn card.
The blinds checked to Shack-Harris who bet out again and received a call only from Szymanski before seeing the 6♣ river. Both players checked through to showdown and Szymanski turned up the A♥K♦K♠3♥, good for both halves of the pot as Shack-Harris tossed his cards into the muck.
An under-the-gun player raised before an opponent in early position reraised. David Arsht called from the small blind, as did the big blind and initial raiser to create a four-way pot heading to the flop.
The flop came 5♠8♠5♣ and Arsht led out. Only the early-position player called as the K♥ fell on the turn.
Arsht bet again and his lone remaining opponent called. The river came the 4♠ and Arsht bet once more. His opponent quickly called.
Arsht opened up A♣2♦5♥10♣ for trip fives and a low. "You're good. I thought I was going to get half," his opponent said before mucking as the 2012 bracelet winner scooped in the big pot.
