Alex Conatser opened to 40,000 from the button, and John Skrovan called in the big blind.
The flop came 
, Skrovan checked and Conatser bet 65,000. Skrovan put in the min check-raise to 130,000, and Cantser called.
The 
came in on the turn, Skrovan bet 100,000, and Conatser raised all in. Skrovan, who had around a million chips to start the hand, hesitated for a bit before committing the remainder of those chips, making the call.
John Skrovan: 
Alex Conatser: 
Skrovan had the better two pair in the huge pot, but the river was a devastating 
for Skrovan, giving Conatser the full house and the come-from-behind win.

Chris Lindner raised to 50,000 from under the gun, and William Lahti three-bet to 150,000 on the button.
"Who cares about a ladder?" Tyler Burke said before committing his last 90,000 in the small blind. Lindner then called as well.
Action checked to the river of a 
board, where Lindner bet 75,000 and Lahti folded. Burke tabled 
for aces-up, but Lindner's 
had rivered a straight, eliminating him one spot shy of the two-table redraw.

Players are now on a 15-minute break.
Bjorn Peterson raised to 35,000 from under the gun, and Lance Donnell called in the small blind, while Tyler Burke committed his last 25,000 in the big blind.
Donnell jammed for 280,000 on the 
flop, and Peterson immediately called.
Tyler Burke: 
Lance Donnell: 
Bjorn Peterson:
Peterson was ahead with his ace-queen, but Burke caught up on the turn, leading him to jump for joy. The 
river bricked off, and Burke's cinderella story continued, as he chipped up to 90,000 (and stole the blinds next hand to hit 130,000 before break), while Donnell hit the rail.

Tyler Burke went all in preflop from the hijack, and Chris Lindner called from the button. Lindner had Burke covered by exactly 5,000 chips.
Tyler Burke: 
Chris Lindner:
Board: 
Burke had a slim chance of pulling off the bad beat with a gutshot draw on the river, but the harmless nine fell to ship the pot to Lindner.
The hand left Burke with a single T5000 chip, but in the span of three hands he's managed to spin it up to 90,000.

Bjorn Peterson and Ray Flavin got in a preflop raising war that saw Flavin get his last 450,000 in from under the gun, and Peterson had him at risk in the cutoff.
Ray Flavin:
Bjorn Peterson: 
"Time to see how good I'm running!" Peterson, who had caught a flurry of premium hands in the span of a few minutes, said.
The table gasped when the 
brought Peterson a gutshot Broadway draw, and after the 
turn, Peterson yelled "Queen-ball!"
The hit the river, and Peterson said, "When it rains, it pours," multiple times, shaking his head at his good fortune, while Flavin graciously shook Peterson's hand before heading off to get paid.

Ray Flavin:
Bjorn Peterson:
Peterson held queens for the second time in a short time span, but Flavin hit aces-up on the 
flop, and the turn and 
river earned Flavin a double.
