Jordon Finally Folds a Hand, Eminoglu Surprised to Win
Level 4
: Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
A player in early position bet 4,400 on a board of 4♣3♠2♠9♥ and Yucel Eminoglu called in middle position, as did Terry Jordon on the button.
The river came the 7♥ and action checked to Eminoglu who bet 11,000. Jordon gave up his hand, but the early-position player tanked for a moment before calling.
"Do you have a straight," Eminoglu asked his opponent as he showed 7♦6♦. To his great surprise, his opponent mucked and Eminoglu took the pot with his pair of sevens.
"What? I make a value bet on the river. I'm a good player," Eminoglu joked after the hand.

Around 20,000 was already in the pot as Jay Villegas and an opponent went to the river on a completed board of 9♣2♠8♠J♦7♠.
Villegas' opponent, on the button, then moved all in for 18,000. Villegas tanked for a moment in the small blind before calling.
"You win," the all-in player said, instantly tossing his cards into the middle of the table. Villegas opened up A♣J♥ for a pair of jacks as he took the pot and sent his opponent to the rail.

Walden Spikes the River to Bust One
Level 4
: Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Owen Dodd limped in from the cutoff before the button raised to 1,500. Jamie Walden, in the small blind, then three-bet to 4,000 and both Dodd and the button called.
The flop came J♣10♠2♠ and action checked to the button who bet 7,000. Walden then raised to 17,000 and Dodd got out of the way. Walden's remaining opponent, though, tanked for a minute before reraising to 29,000, leaving a green 500 chip behind.
Walden then tanked for a minute before moving all in, and his opponent tossed in his last chip.
All-In Player: A♦J♦
Jamie Walden: K♣Q♥
Walden had a straight draw against his opponent's top pair but failed to connect with the 2♦ turn. The river was the Q♦ and Walden made top pair to send his opponent crashing out of the tournament.
"That's what the kids do nowadays. Limp, raise, three-bet. He was excited to look at king-queen," a tablemate joked with Walden after the hand.

Reed, Wang Chop Up Jordon
Level 5
: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Terry Jordon built up a massive stack of 150,000 earlier in the day, but he just had that entirely vanish after a pot against David Reed and Beihao Wang.
Wang was all in for 13,400 in the hijack and Reed and Jordon both called. The flop came 6♥4♦10♥ and Jordon moved all in for 15,000. Reed quickly called.
Beihao Wang: A♥Q♠
Terry Jordon: K♥7♥
David Reed: A♠K♠
"I have outs," Jordon said heading to the 4♠ turn. The river was the 10♦ and Reed and Wang both made the same two pair, while Jordon missed his flush and was sent to the rail.
"Is it unlimited reentry? Oh, so he'll be back," a tablemate said about Jordon.
