After doubling up the previous hand, Vanessa Grossman got all her chips into the middle once again and David Shaw made the call to put her at risk.
Vanessa Grossman: A♥K♥
David Shaw: 8♦8♥
"Whaho! Wanna switch? " Shaw jokes to Grossman.
"Yes, your hand is much better preflop," she replied, and the board seemed to take notice as it ran out 3♥2♦3♣6♠7♥ for Shaw's eights to hold and Grossman was sent to the exit.

John Ross opened to 15,000 and was called by Chukwuebuka Onyejiaka to see a flop of 2♥7♠10♥.
Onyejiaka checked to Ross who continued for 15,000, which Onyejiaka called. On the turn K♦, Onyejiaka checked-called another bet from Ross, this time for 33,000.
The river fell the 6♦ and Onyejiaka checked once more and Ross fired again for 44,000. Onyejiaka went into the tank for over a minute before he finally made the call. Ross then flipped over A♥K♥ for top-top and Onyejiaka quickly mucked to award him the sizeable pot.

"For the love of god, it's a romper!" Conor Fulkerson shouted at the neighboring table who were trying to decipher Carson Wieland's description of a women's garment.
"Ahhhh," the table realized in unison and went back about their business. Meanwhile, Fulkerson was all in and had just been called by Eddie Villegas to put him at risk.
Conor Fulkerson: 9♣9♦
Eddie Villegas:A♠J♦
The flop was not kind to Fulkerson as it came K♠J♦A♥ to give Villegas two-pair, but the turn sure was as the 9♥ smacked down to give him the lead with a set. The river was the 2♥ to secure his victory and he was awarded the pot for a double.
He then announced that he would wear a romper to the Main Event if he happens to win the Mystery Bounty.
"Verbal is binding", he was reminded by the dealer.
