Billy Pilossoph raised to 5,500 from the big blind and was called by both the under-the-gun and middle position players.
The flop came K?A?3?, and Pilossoph led out for 8,000. Under the gun folded and Bryan Krentz made the call to the turn.
After the Q? peeled off on the turn, Pilossoph checked to Krentz. He fired for 12,000 and Pilossoph folded for him to scoop the pot.

In a three-way pot, the board showed 10?Q?5?2? when Leo Margets checked in the big blind to Weiran Pu who bet 6,000. Only the player on the button called.
The 6? completed the board on the river and this time they both checked. Pu tabled 10?8? and it was enough to make his opponent muck his cards.

Vincent Lam, who started the day with 240,000 chips, has already more than doubled his stack and now has 545,000 in front of him.
On the last hand, Lam raised in the hijack to 6,000 and called a three-bet worth 18,000 from Mearl Wisehart in the big blind.
The flop revealed K?9?6? and Wisehart fired 40,000 with around 85,000 chips behind. Lam didn't take long to shove and Wisehart snap-called all in for the following showdown:
Mearl Wisehart: A?A?
Vincent Lam: 6?6?
Wisehart had the bad surprise to see Lam had hit a set and made his way to the exit after the 2? and the 2? completed the board.
