Action was picked up on the turn in a pot between John Magdic in first position and David Mize in the hijack.

With a board reading 109K5 and a bet in front of Magdic, Mize moved all in for 119,000 total and Magdic called.

David Mize: QJ All in
John Magdic: AA

The turn had left Magdic drawing dead before the river Q peeled off and Mize scored a massive double through his tablemate.

"I should have known you had something," Magdic replied after the hand "your breathing was super heavy."

"That ain't got nothing to do with cards," Mize joked "I'm very old."

Action was picked up on a flop between three players.

On a flop of 234 Andre Gardner moved all in for 25,000 from the big blind which saw Mike Eisele in middle position call. Action folded back to Dat Nguyen in the small blind who moved all in for 91,000 total which Eisele called for less.

Andre Gardner: 33 All in
Mike Eisele: K9 All in
Dat Nguyen: 65

The turn 6 completed the flush for Eisele to put him in the lead, giving one of Gardners outs to scoop over to Nguyen. The river 8 changed nothing and Eisele’s flush was good for the whole pot.
