David Salituro

Level 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Marco Johnson raised to 130,000 in the cutoff and was called by Yang Li on the button and big blind Mike Vanier.

The flop came A♣4♠4♣ and Johnson bet another 130,000. Li got out of the way, but Vanier raised to 325,000. Johnson then moved all in and Vanier snap-called for 1,040,000.

Mike Vanier: 6♥4♥ All in
Marco Johnson: A♠9♠

Vanier turned over trip fours and was poised for a double up as the 6♦ fell on the turn to improve him to a full house. Johnson was left looking for one of the remaining two aces in the deck on the river, but he missed the 7♠ and handed over the double up.

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Victor Paredes moved all in for 140,000 from the small blind and Matthew Wantman called in the big blind.

Victor Paredes: Q♣7♥ All in
Matthew Wantman: 10♥9♣

"He's still in the hand. He has outs," Jeff Madsen pointed out as Paredes was left hoping to complete a flush draw, but the 9♦ river gave Wantman a full house and sent Paredes, who began the day as chip leader, to the rail in 17th place.
