Matthew Sabia: A♥K♥ 
Shuofei Geng: AxQx
Sabia was in great shape to find the double and it stayed that way on the 10♣4♦3♠4♣J♠ runout as Sabia faded Geng's chop outs and win-outs to secure the double.
Niroshan Loganathan opened to 6,000 from the hijack and Martin Carnero three-bet to 30,000 from the small blind. Loganathan made the call.
Both players checked the Q♠10♦2♦ flop leading to the 5♥ turn. Carnero bet 45,000 and Loganathan called. Both players then checked the J♦ river.
Carnero turned over two pair with A♣A♥ and Loganathan mucked.
John Racener raised to 5,000 in middle position, Terrance Reid three-bet to 13,000 on the button, and Racener called.
The flop came A♠Q♦8♣ and Reid continued for 7,500. Racener called and both players checked the 3♥ turn.
The river was the 2♠ and Racener moved all in for 44,500. Reid snap-called and turned over A♥K♣, but Racener had A♦Q♥ for top two pair to win the pot and double up.
With two players seeing a board of 4♣10♠A♦ and around 30,000 in the middle, John Devereaux was all in from under the gun for 115,500 and up against Eric Medved who had him covered from the small blind.
John Devereaux: A♣10♥
Eric Medved: A♠K♠
Devereaux was in great shape with top two pair and remained ahead on the 5♥J♦ runout to double up through Medved.
Upeshka DeSilva and Orestis Kanakopoulos built a pot of around 50,000 as they went to the turn with the board showing A♥K♥9♠4♣. DeSilva then bet 42,000 from the cutoff and Kanakopoulos called in the big blind.
Kanakopoulos checked the A♦ river and DeSilva checked back this time. Kanakopoulos then showed A♠9♠ for a full house.
"Whew. Bad river, good river," DeSilva said as he flashed K♦9♦ before mucking.
Stuart Taylor moved all-in for 13,000 under the gun and was called by Mark Dube in the small blind and Sergei Kislinskii in the big blind.
On the A♠Q♣10♣ flop, Dube check-folded to a 10,000 bet from Kislinskii after some thought.
Stuart Taylor: 5♥5♦
Sergei Kislinskii : K♣7♣
Stuart was still in the lead with his pair but Kislinskii had overcards, a gutshot, and a flush draw. The 3♣ on the turn immediately sealed it for Kislinskii as Taylor headed for the exit as the irrelevant 6♣ landed on the river.
Jordan Glazer opened the cutoff and John Monnette defended his big blind.
On the 5♦3♠3♥ flop, Glazer continued for 5,000 and Monnette put in the call.
Monnette check-called another bet on the 7♦ turn after some deliberation.
The river brought the 9♥. Monnette opted to lead for 4,000 and Glazer snapped it off.
John Monnette: K♦4♦
Jordan Glazer: K♣5♣
Monnette was bluffing with a missed flush draw while Glazer flopped top pair and won a modest pot.
Steven Maddison, who won a Gold Pass via a CNE Second Chance freeroll, got his last 20,500 all in preflop and was flipping for his tournament life against Grant Wang.
Steven Maddison: A♥K♠
Grant Wang: J♠J♦
Maddison was in need of improvement and got it when the A♠2♠10♥ flop paired his ace. The Q♥ turn gave both players straight outs, and the J♣ completed the board on the river. Wang made a set of jacks but it was no good as Maddison made a Broadway straight.
Wang was left with 22,000 after but lost it all a few hands later.
Prior to coming to Las Vegas, Maddison did an interview with PokerNews Ontario Ambassador Kyle Anderson.
Grant Wang moved all in for his last 20,000 in the hijack, Ben Ludlow reshoved on the button, and the rest of the table got out of the way.
Grant Wang: Q♠J♥
Ben Ludlow: A♥K♠
Wang took the lead on the Q♣9♦3♣ flop with a pair of queens, while the 2♣ turn left him a card away from a double up. Ludlow caught the A♦ on the river and Wang was sent to the rail.
