David Knuckles got busted by a set of queens.

Sumner turned over {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs} after the {a-Spades} and {q-Spades} hit the board, giving him a set, and Knuckles mucked his cards.

Clark's Dominating Hand Holds

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

A player opened for 600 on the button and then called the shove of Aaron Clark, who had 9,700.

Clark: {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}
Button: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}

Clark was in a dominating position, and his biggest concern was a chop after the first four cards came {k-Spades}{3-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}, but a {9-Clubs} river preserved his lead.

Attebery needed to fade clubs or running sixes, and he did so as the {7-Hearts} and {7-Spades} completed the board.

Patel's High Card Good for Triple Up

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante
Neil Patel
Neil Patel

We found Neil Patel all in before the flop for his last 5,550, having been call in two spots. The dealer put down a board of {5-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} as the two active players quickly checked down.

"I can't catch anything besides my f****** breath," one of the players said, tossing {k-Clubs}{10-Spades} into the middle.

"You have a pair?" Patel asked the third player, who shook his head. "Ace-king."

Patel's unpaired hand had somehow held up, and he is back near the starting stack.
