Livingston continued for 35,000 on the 6♠ turn, seeing his opponent call yet again. The 7♦ river was checked by both players.

In a pot of roughly 25,000, Imad Derwiche got his stack of 91,000 in on a flop of 3♦9♠10♣ against Cesar Garcia.
Imad Derwiche: A♠10♦7♣3♣
Cesar Garcia: K♠J♥10♥9♣
Derwiche needed to get lucky to beat Garcia's top two pair. The 6♠ turn was of no help, but the A♦ rivered him a higher two pair to take down the pot and double up.
Nikolaos Lampropoulos had raised in middle position when Daniel Zaremba made it 32,000 to go in the hijack. Vlado Banicevic called on the button, as did Lampropoulos once the action had folded back to him.
Zaremba continued for another 32,000 on the 4♣A♠J♦ flop. Banicevic then tossed in his stack of 91,000, to which Lampropoulos check-folded. Zaremba flicked in a quick call, however, and the cards were revealed.
Vlado Banicevic: A♦A♣10♠2♠
Daniel Zaremba: A♥K♥K♣8♠
Zaremba was in horrible shape against the top set of Banicevic, who locked up the pot on the 8♦ turn. The 3♦ river mattered little as Banicevic doubled back up to more than 100 big blinds.
