Phillip Reed raised to 6,500 in the hijack seat, Cary Katz called in the small blind before Hoyt Corkins raised the pot from the big blind for around 45,000. Reed and Katz both folded and Corkins showed two red-jacks. Reed responded by telling the table he folded ace-queen.

We joined the action on a flop of and the two players in the pot were Daniel Weinman (HJ) and Steve Landfish (BB). Weinman had a bet of 9,000 in front of him and Landfish had check-raised to 25,500. The action was on Weinman and he raised it to 44,000 (leaving 21,700 behind).

Chris Moore opened to 6,000 from the cutoff, and Shaun Deeb three-bet to 16,500 next door. Paul Volpe looked like he was thinking sinister thoughts, but he eventually surrendered his big blind.
