Action was caught on the turn with the K♦8♦9♣2♣ board on show. Jim Farrelly bet 4,600 from under the gun, and Sean Alper called from the cutoff. The 2♥ completed the board, and Farrelly fired for 5,500. Alper quickly called.
Farrelly had a pair of kings with his KxQx, but Alper had A♥K♠ for a pair of kings with an ace kicker to claim the pot.
Ethan Yau opened to 1,000 from the button the following hand, and Farrelly called from the big blind. The Q♥5♣7♣ flop checked through to the 6♥ turn. Farrelly bet 1,200 and was called. He sized up to 3,500 on the 4♣ river, and Yau quickly called.
Farrelly tabled the 9♥8♥ for the nut-straight and Yau mucked.

The small blind player made it 2,400 preflop and was called by Alex Nguyen in the big blind and the player in middle position.
The flop came 7♣3♣9♦ and the small blind continued for 2,500 and received a round of calls.
On the turn 7♠, however, all three players checked and went to the river A♥.
The small blind then fired again for 10,000 but then Nguyen announced he was all in and his opponents promptly folded to award him the pot.

BetMGM Qualifer Tim Hinman's seat is now vacant after his chips were taken by fellow qualifier Thomas Coan, who now has the largest stack in the room.
The table explained that Hinman and Coan were all in preflop with AxKx and AxAx, respectively. The aces held and Coan scooped in the massive pot.
Coan told PokerNews, "Tell everyone it's my birthday because I keep getting gifts."

Ethan Yau opened to 1,000 from the hijack and Noah Schwartz and Laura Church called from the blinds.
The A♣7♥6♠ flop checked through to the K♥ turn. Schwartz bet 2,000 before Church made it 6,000. Yau called and Schwartz also tagged along.
Schwartz checked the 10♣ river which prompted Church to jam for 12,800. Yau folded and Schwartz quickly called.
Church had 7♣7♠ for a set of sevens and took the pot. Schwartz had rivered two pair with his A♠10♥, but it was no good.

Nathan Russler opened to 1,200 from the hijack and was called by Sriharsha Doddapaneni from the cutoff. Michael Jozoff then three-bet to 5,000 from the big blind. Russler responded with a reraise which folded out Doddapaneni. Before the dealer could announce Russler's sizing, Jozoff jammed for 24,900, and Russler called.
Michael Jozoff: K♣K♥
Nathan Russler: J♦J♠
Jozoff made a boat on the A♥A♣K♠ flop to leave Russler drawing to running quads. The 2♠ turn and 5♥ river provided no surprises, and Jozoff doubled up.
