: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Kyna England had just finished showing off her custom-modified wine cupholder to PokerNews before she played a big pot. Richard Green opened to 1,600 in early position and Matthew Salsberg called in the hijack and England three-bet in the big blind. Both opponents called.
England bet 5,500 on the flop of J♥A♥3♣ and only Green called. England bet 19,000 on the Q♥ turn and Green again called.
England slowed down with a check on the 5♥ river and Green moved all in for 23,000. England gave it some thought and perhaps took a sip of Chardonnay before calling.
Green could only show KxJx without a heart as England tabled a heartless AxQx to win the pot with a pair of aces as Green was sent to the rail.

: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Jeff Madsen raised to 1,800 in the cutoff and Maxwell Sheridan was essentially forced all in from the big blind given that he was down to just a single 1,000 denomination chip.
Maxwell Sheridan: 8♦5♦ 
Jeff Madsen: A♦3♦
The Q♠2♥10♦A♠4♥ runout offered no help to Sheridan and the small pot was pushed Madsen's way.

: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
The mother of all coolers took place shortly after dinner break and PokerNews was quickly called over to the table to hear the action.
Harlan Karnofsky raised to 1,600 and Jeremy Ausmus called behind him. Karnofsky bet 1,600 on the flop of K♦Q♦8♦ and Ausmus called. Both players then checked on the A♦ turn.
Karnofsky checked again on the A♠ river and Ausmus bet 9,000. Karnofsky reportedly said "cooler city" before moving all in and being met with a snap-call from Ausmus.
Karnofsky showed an immensely strong holding with A♥A♣ for quad aces, but Ausmus had the only hand that could beat him: a coveted Royal Flush with J♦10♦.
Karnofsky was sent to the rail in a fashion so horrific that Stephen King couldn't conceive it, while Ausmus now finds himself with a stack of over 100,000.

Yang Zhou open-shoved in middle position for 12,600 and Aram Zobian reshoved for 24,000 total in the hijack to isolate.
Yang Zhou: K♠J♥
Aram Zobian: 8♠8♥
Zobian remained in the lead on the 9♦Q♥A♣ flop, but Zhou picked up additional outs with a gutshot.
Zhou couldn't get there when the board ran out 8♣, 5♣ and the pot was pushed Zobian's way.

: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
The player in the hijack raised to 1,700, Dong Ji three-bet jammed in the small blind for 6,800, and Jen Shahade paused in the big blind before reraising to 31,000. The hijack decided to step aside.
Dong Ji: 10♠10♣
Jen Shahade: A♦J♦
Shahade picked up additional outs on the K♦9♠8♦ flop with the nut flush draw and got there on the 9♦ turn.
The meaningless 2♦ completed the board and Ji was sent to the rail.

: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Brandon Zuidema raised to 1,600 in the cutoff and Daniel Samson flatted in the small blind.
The flop came 10♦5♦6♦ and Samson check-called a bet of 1,200 from Zuidema.
The turn fell the K♣ and both players checked to the 8♥ river where Samson led out for 2,500.
After a moment of thought, Zuidema tossed his cards into the muck and the pot was pushed to Samson.
