Five players built a pot of about 12,000 before a flop of A♠7♥3♠ and the quintet all checked.
On the 8♣ turn, after a check from the small blind, Chip Ervin bet 7,500 from the big blind.
None of his four opponents had anything worth calling with and Ervin took down a healthy pot.

A total of 53 entries have already made their way into the tournament, with the 49 remaining heading to their first break of the day.
While play had been limited to just one of the three available rooms here at Champions Club Texas for the first two opening flights, a sixth table is now being opened in the club's main room as the field grows to 49 entries with 46 players at tables.
For reference, there were 34 entries in Day 1b at this point with ten eliminations already and just 24 players at the first break of the day.
Following a raise to 1,100 by Sean Cha under the gun, no less than five players called to see a flop of A♦9♣6♠.
After checks from the blinds and Cha, Moises Rivas bet 3,000 from early position. Stunningly, no one had anything they could defend and Rivas took down the pot without further contest.
