Brandon Adams

Ben Yu raised to 175,000 from the button, Brandon Adams made the call from the big blind and the dealer fanned out a flop of {10-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}.

Action checked to Yu on the button who bet 125,000 into the pot, Adams spent a time extension, eventually deciding to move all in for the rest of his stack. Yu made the call and players turned over their hands with Adams at risk of elimination.

Adams tabled {j-Spades}{10-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} for tens up with a flush draw, Yu showed {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}{q-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for queens up and the lead. The turn came the {4-Spades} and Adams would need to hit.

A {4-Clubs} on the river sealed the deal for Yu, eliminating Adams from the tournament in fifth and taking the chip lead for the first time in the event.

Jonathan Depa raised to 150,000 from the cutoff, Isaac Haxton made the call from the big blind and the flop came down {a-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{4-Spades}. Haxton raised all in for 230,000 and Depa made the call after having already put in 50,000.

Haxton tabled {a-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{3-Spades} for aces up with an eight kicker, Depa showed {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} for aces up with a ten kicker and Haxton would need some help.

Dan Shak

Dan Shak opened to 140,000 from under the gun, Jonathan Depa made it 480,000 and Shak called all in for his stack of 205,000. Players turned over their hands with Shak at risk of being the first person to exit the final table.

Jonathan Depa: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{2-Spades}
Dan Shak: {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{2-Clubs}

The flop was great for Depa as it came {q-Hearts}{q-Spades}{9-Spades} and Shak would need some help to stay alive. The {a-Diamonds} came on the turn and Shak was now in need of just a nine.

The nine failed to come as a {4-Clubs} landed on the river, giving Depa the pot with his two pair and eliminating Shak from the tournament in sixth place.

Isaac Haxton: {q-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}
Jonathan Depa: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}
