Table 5 was in a convoluted discussion about geography and ex-girlfriends when Alex Keating raised in middle position and was called by Daniel Lee on the button and Sean Jazayeri and Nick Palma in the blinds.
Keating continued for 5,000 on the flop of 7♣10♣J♦ and only Lee called. Keating then bet 10,000 on the 2♥ turn as Palma started telling Justin Young he was "going to switch teams soon if things keep going the way they are." The table then got silent as Lee raised to 25,000 and Keating called.
Keating checked on the 3♣ river and Lee moved all in to send his opponent into a deep tank. Palma eventually spoke up again, this time to call the clock, and Keating let his hand die as the clock reached zero.

Nick Palma yelled "I'm coming for you, Moorman," from a few tables over, but it was Romel Huelga who was out for Moorman blood as Romel Huelga raised from under the gun and Chris Moorman three-bet on the button.
Huelga then four-bet to 13,500 and Moorman came over the top by five-betting all in. Huelga called with a stack of 50,600.
Romel Huelga: A♦Q♥
Chris Moorman: Q♣Q♠
The flop of 10♥8♥2♠ kept Moorman's queens ahead, but the board finished out K♥3♥ as Huelga made a runner-runner flush for a big double.
