Frey Finished

Robert Allain opened to 7,600 from under the gun, and Kyle Frey moved all in for around 20,000 from middle position. The action folded back to Allain, who tank-called.

Allain: {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}
Frey: {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}

The {q-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{9-Spades} flop gave both players a pair, but the {8-Diamonds} ripped off on the turn to give Allain trips. The {j-Spades} bricked on the river, and Frey was eliminated.

Tan Out

Carlo Sciannameo, Wee Tan, and Ken Silberstein saw a flop of {5-Clubs}{10-Spades}{a-Spades}. Sciannameo checked, Tan fired 8,100, and both Silberstein, and Sciannameo called.

The turn was the {j-Clubs}, Sciannameo checked again, and Tan fired 19,400. Silberstein raised to 40,000, claiming to think that Tan was all in, and Sciannameo folded. Tan called.

Tan: {5-Spades}{5-Hearts}
Silberstein: {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}

Tan needed the board to pair, but it did not when the river brought the {q-Hearts}. He was eliminated, while Silberstein chipped up to around 260,000.

Bandelloni Doubles Through Matusow

Vinny Pahuja opened to 6,500, Mike Matusow three-bet to 17,100 in the cutoff, and Lori Bandelloni cold-called on the button. Pahuja called as well, and the dealer fanned {q-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}.

Pahuja checked, Matusow put out a bet, and Bandelloni moved all in for 20,400 more. Pahuja folded, and Matusow called.

Matusow: {a-Clubs}{9-Hearts}
Bandelloni: {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

"How the f*** does that flop come out?" Matusow lamented.

The turn and river came {a-Spades}, {k-Spades} respectively, and Bandelloni doubled.

Set Over Set

Three players saw a flop of {7-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{9-Clubs}, including Chip Jett, Maurice Paradis, and Charles Saleba. Jett checked, Saleba tossed out 19,500, and Paradis moved all in. Jett quickly folded, and Saleba snapped it off, spiking {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs} onto the felt.

Paradis sheepishly turned over {7-Hearts}{7-Spades} for a lesser set.

The turn and river came {k-Clubs}, {8-Diamonds}, and Paradis was eliminated.

Aces Cracked

Jean Elie Joseph opened to 8,300 from middle position, Artyem Perlov three-bet to 22,000 from the small blind, and Joseph made the call.

The flop fell {8-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{9-Clubs}, and Perlov led out for 26,000. Joseph immediately moved all in for 71,100, and Perlov called.

Perlov: {a-Diamonds}{a-Spades}
Joseph: {8-Clubs}{7-Clubs}

The {k-Hearts} on the turn was a brick, but the {8-Spades} slammed on the river, giving Joseph two pair. Joseph clapped his hands loudly at the site of the card, and Perlov began to leave.

"I think you have him covered," Vanessa Selbst piped up.

Sure enough, Selbst was right. After the dealer counted down the stacks, Perlov was left with around 12,000 chips. Joseph doubled to 190,000.
