#1: Chris Moorman raised to 45,000 under the gun and watched as action folded to Taylor Paur in the big blind. Paur thought for a few moments before three-betting to 104,000, which prompted Moorman to fold.
#2: Jeremy Menard raised to 55,000 under the gun and Matthew Hyman defended from the big blind. Both players checked the flop, leading to the turn. At this point, Hyman bet out 62,000 and Menard snap-folded.
Tristan Wade raised to 42,000 from the cutoff and William Thorson responded by moving all in for 260,000 on the button. The blinds got out of the way and Wade made the call.
