Lundy and Johnson checked the Q♦9♣7♦ flop, and Devito fired a bet of 3,000. Soto was the only caller to see the 10♠ turn, where Devito bet 7,000.
Soto called again, and Devito sized up to 11,000 after the 9♥ river. Soto took a moment before letting his hand go, as Devito claimed the pot.
Soto was seen headed to the exit a short time later, having used both of his entries for the day.
Everyone at table 8 was standing as the dealer sorted out a three-way all in.
The chips were flying on the Q♣2♦9♣ flop, as Slade Edmonds committed his short stack. Richard Meza claimed that he folded A♠A♦, after Angela Allen and Michael Reesman traded raises until all of the chips were in the middle.
Slade Edmonds: A♣10♣
Angela Allen: K♥Q♥
Michael Reesman: J♣8♣
Allen was able to dodge straight and flush draws through the 7♦ turn and 8♠ river, seeing her pair of queens hold up to claim a massive pot. Reesman had just joined the table and lost a big portion of his stack, while Edmonds was sent to the rail.
