The ESPN feature tables kicked off at the start of Level 3 and among those to take a seat in the main spotlight were Jean Montury, Lacey Jones, defending champion Scott Blumstein, and Brian Yoon. The latter two tangled in a big pot that left the defending champion devastated, as he was sent to the rail early on.

Blumstein raised to 800 and Yoon three-bet to 3,700 in late position, which Blumstein called. On the {6-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{4-Spades} flop, Blumstein check-called a bet of 3,000 and did so again on the {3-Spades} turn for 10,000. The {2-Spades} appeared on the river and Blumstein checked with 27,350 behind. Yoon moved all in and Blumstein called it off with the {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} only for Yoon to turn over {A-Spades}{J-Spades} for the back door nut flush.
