Fred Roll began the day as chip leader with 286,500 chips, but hit a rocky stretch and exited the tournament in 12th place.

The talk at the table all afternoon, though, centered around 8th place finisher Randy Murfin. After making his exit from the tournament, he headed to the poker room to play in the cash games. Before completing his first orbit, Murfin was dealt pocket nines. He raised and then called a three-bet from another opponent. The flop came 99J, giving Murfin quad nines. He check-called the flop and the turn brought another jack. All the money went in and his opponent tabled JJ for quad jacks. This triggered the massive bad beat jackpot and Murfin, with the losing hand, was awarded over $60,000 as his share as the bad beat jackpot stood roughly around $159,000. 

At 4 p.m. the $230 Pot Limit Omaha tournament got underway, drawing 36 players by the time registration closed and creating a prize pool of $22,500 after the rebuy period closed. Based on the number of players entered, 4 players would be paid, with $10,125 going to first. In the end, it was RunGood pro Jonathan Gaviao who took the top prize, with RG pro Ray Henson taking second.

1 Jonathan Gaviao $10,125

3 Walter Brandhorst $4,050
4 Daniel Lowery $2,700
