Before the break, Keven Stammen raised to 42,000 from early position, Abraham Korotki called in middle position, and Ray Qartomy defended his big blind.
The dealer fanned a flop of 
, Qartomy and Stammen checked, and Korotki bet 125,000. Only Qartomy called.
The turn was the 
, both players checked, and the river was the 
. Qartomy led out for the first time, firing 200,000, and Korotki quickly announced that he was all in.
Qartomy went deep into the tank as the time melted off of the break clock, and eventually folded "two pair" according to him.
"You have clubs?" he asked Korotki.
"Of course," the 2014 Borgata Spring Poker Open Champion responded, tabling 
.

Chris O'Rourke was on life support with just a few big blinds left, so he shoved all in for 73,000 from the cutoff and asked for a call.
The action folded around to Ryan D'Angelo in the big blind, and he responded by telling the table "I don't think I can fold anything here."
After taking a peek at his cards D'Angelo winced and exhaled, obviously displeased that he would be forced to battle with a ragged hand, but he stayed true to his word, calling the bet and tabling the lowly .
O'Rourke - who has been dubbed Chris the Mute by his good friend James "Big Show" Calderero - lived up to the nickname, talking his way through the hand and calling for cards. The final board came down 
and with that O'Rourke got back up off the mat. On the very next deal he loudly announced himself all in once more, and the table folded dutifully around

While Tony Gregg and Eric Afriat were battling on Table 1, Ryan D'Angelo was all in and at risk against Chris O'Rourke for 448,000 on the turn of a 
board.
D'Angelo: 
O'Rourke: 
O'Rourke was drawing dead, and the river produced a meaningless 
. D'Angelo doubled through to over 1.2 million, while O'Rourke is very short with just over 100,000.

Eric Afriat raised to 50,000 in the cutoff, Tony Gregg re-raised to 139,000 on the button, and the action folded back to Afriat, who immediately called.
Both players checked on a flop of 
, and Afriat led out for a small bet on the turn (
). Gregg called.
The river was the 
, Afriat checked, and Gregg tossed out 250,000. Afriat insta-called, then mucked when Gregg showed for a pair of aces.

Tony Dunst opened for the standard raise from under the gun, and next to act Ray Qartomy three-bet to 90,000. Qartomy had to pull that bet out from a pile of chips dragged in from the last hand, and although we weren't there to catch the action, table talk afterward suggests Qartomy held two black jacks and found one of their red brothers on the turn.
In any event, he made the three-bet to force folds around the table, leaving Dunst to four-bet shove for 390,000. Qartomy made the quick call and tabled, of all hands, 
.
Dunst rolled over 
to find himself in a great spot to score a double, and the final board rolled out 
to leave his ladies in the lead.
"Two black jacks in a row..." said Qartomy to himself after the hand. "Unbelievable."
