After a flop rolled out Q53 in a heads up pot, Clinton Hubble in the hijack checked over to Ron Puleo on the button.

Dalton Potter raised to 1,600 from under the gun and Ken Smurr called in the cutoff. Henry Zou jammed all in from the small blind and in the big blind, Alan Waller moved all in for more. Potter called to put himself at risk for 36,500 while Smurr folded.

Henry Zou: KQ
Dalton Potter: JJ
Alan Wall: QQ

The flop of 774 didn't change anything, but the turn J saw Potter pull ahead with jacks full. Zou was drawing dead while Wall was looking for the last queen in the deck, which appeared as the Q river peeled off. Potter rebought into the tournament to sit one seat over while Zou exited the tournament area.

Thomas Midena, Brek Schutten, and Adam Jensen are among those who have entered into the tournament.
