Action will resume with blinds repeating at 5,000/10,000 and a 10,000 big blind ante.
Ryan Meleedy opened to 45,000 in middle position before Gerald McKinney moved all in for 195,000 on his immediate left. After checking his cards again and taking a moment, Meleedy made the call.
Gerald McKinney: A♥J♦
Ryan Meleedy: Q♣Q♥
McKinney stood up from his seat as the cards were turned over, only to sit back down as the 4♦7♠A♠A♣9♥ runout left him with trip aces to earn the double.

Slade Edmonds limped from early position and the colorful Miriam Moore did the same from the hijack. The players on the button and in the big blind both came along and it was four-way action to a flop of K♠10♥10♦.
Two checks saw Moore bet 10,000 and only Edmonds called.
When the 9♥ appeared on the turn, Edmonds checked again and Moore bet 11,000, leaving herself just 25,000 behind.
Edmonds didn't take long to fold and Moore was pushed the pot to get back up to the starting stack of 100,000.

Slade Edmonds raised to 60,000 from early position and then called when Andre Proctor moved all in for 120,500 from the hijack.
Andre Proctor: K♣K♥
Slade Edmonds: A♥J♥
Proctor got it in good and his position improved when the 5♣8♣K♦ flop delivered him a set. The 4♠ turn left Edmonds drawing dead, and Proctor was pushed the pot after the meaningless 2♦ was run out on the river.

The dealer fanned out the A♦3♦K♦ flop, and Hebert led out for 75,000. After taking a moment, Dwinell slid his cards into the muck.
Hebert flipped over A♥3♣ as she raked in the pot.

Nick Sims raised to 18,000 from early position and Jim Gardner called from the hijack. The players on the button and big blind both called and it was four-way action to a flop of 10♥K♣A♠.
The big blind checked, Sims continued for 24,000, and only Gardner called.
The duo proceeded to check both the 10♠ turn and 2♥ river and Gardner tabled the A♣J♣ for aces and tens. It was good as Sims sent his hand to the muck.
