On a flop of A♣J♣6♦, Churchill check-called a bet of 30,000 from the small blind, against Danny Chang in the big blind.
Churchill then led for pot of 145,000 on the Q♣ turn, Chang repotted, and Churchill called all in for about 350,000 total.
Graig Churchill: A♠A♥A♦5♥ 
Danny Chang: K♣10♦7♥4♠
Churchill was ahead with top set, but the 10♣ river improved Chang to broadway, and Churchill was eliminated.
Thomas Balla bet 50,000 from the cutoff on a flop of 6♣J♥9♥ before Mario Damiao raised to 120,000 in the big blind. "You have a good hand?" Balla asked.
"The best," Damiao replied as Balla called all in.
Thomas Balla: J♣10♣9♦7♦
Mario Damiao: A♥Q♣J♠10♥
"It's not quite the best right now," Balla said as he was ahead with two pair, but Damiao hit the Q♦ on the turn to make queens and jacks. The river was the 4♠ and Balla was eliminated in 11th place.
Damiao then admitted he had been up until 8 am playing Double Board Bomb Pot. "I made more money there than I stand to win here," he said.
"You won $25?," Danny Chang asked.
"You assume I'm going to win this? No, I did win $5K, though," Damiao replied.
Danny Chang bet 15,000 from the cutoff on a flop of 6♣K♣8♦ and Brandon Mueller raised to 70,000 in the big blind. Piotr Sowinski then potted to 290,000 under the gun, and only Mueller called.
Both players checked the 5♥ turn. Mueller then bet 275,000 on the 7♠ river, and Sowinski tanked for a few minutes before calling.
Mueller turned over 10♣7♣4♣3♣ for a straight, and Sowinski mucked.
A few hands later, Sowinski raised to 50,000 in the cutoff and Graig Churchill called in the small blind. Churchill then bet 25,000 on the A♣4♥9♠ flop, and Sowinski called all in.
Piotr Sowinski: J♦J♥9♥8♥
Graig Churchill: K♦9♦9♣7♠
Churchill had flopped a set of nines and remained ahead on the 6♠ turn, but Sowinski hit the J♠ on the river to make a set and double up.
On a flop of J♠8♥4♠ with about 150,000 in the pot, James Hundt got his final 255,000 into the middle from the button, at risk against Danny Chang from the hijack.
James Hundt: J♦10♣7♣5♦
Danny Chang: A♠K♥10♠6♥
Hundt flopped top pair and a gutter against the flush draw of Chang. However, the A♣ turn but Chang into the lead, and the 6♠ river improved him to the nut flush, sending Hundt to the rail in 12th.
Graig Churchill limped in the cutoff, Joseph Arena potted to 60,000 from the small blind, Sidney Zweigbaum called in the big blind, and Churchill came along.
On the 10♦9♠4♦ flop, Arena led for pot of 195,000, Zweigbaum called all in for 40,000, and Churchill folded.
Sidney Zweigbaum: Q♠J♠10♠9♥
Joseph Arena: A♠A♦Q♦10♣
Zweigbaum flopped two pair and the wrap against the aces and flush draw of Arena. Nothing changed on the 3♥ turn, but the A♣ river gave Arena top set, and Zweigbaum was eliminated.

The flop came 2♠9♦4♠ and Aridgides bet 35,000. Chabi called, and the 3♠ fell on the turn.
Aridgides checked over to Chabi, who bet 60,000. Aridgides called, and they both checked the 6♠ river.
Aridgides showed J♠10♦9♠7♥ for a flush. "Had king-king, nine-nine, and he just drills it," Chabi lamented as he mucked.
Mike Arzoumanidis potted to 50,000 second-to-act and Danny Chang called on his left. In the small blind, Brandon Mueller repotted to 215,000, Arzoumanidis called all in for 150,000, and Chang called.
On the 7♥6♣3♥ flop, Mueller check-folded to a bet of 150,000 from Chang.
Mike Arzoumanidis: K♠Q♥Q♦4♥
Danny Chang: 10♠9♣8♣7♠
Arzoumanidis was ahead with queens and a flush draw against the wrap of Chang. However, the 5♠ turn completed Chang's straight, and Arzoumanidis could not find a flush on the A♣ river, sending him to the rail in 14th.
Brian Cole raised to 50,000 on the button and Graig Churchill called in the small blind.
The flop came 9♥10♦K♥ and Churchill led out for 60,000. Cole called, and they both checked the 3♠ turn.

Ante: 15,000
Mark Aridgides potted to 35,000 from middle position and was called by Philip Black on the button and Elan Chabi from the small blind.
On the A♦7♣6♦ flop, Aridgides continued for 40,000, Black potted to 245,000, and Chabi jammed for 375,000. Aridgides got out of the way before Black called off his shorter stack for just a couple more chips.
Philip Black: A♠10♠10♥7♠
Elan Chabi: K♦J♦10♣2♣
Black held top two pair against the flush draw of Chabi. The 6♥ turn was safe, but the 3♦ landed on the river, giving Chabi the flush to eliminate Black.
Shortly before the hand, James Carroll was eliminated in 16th.
