Jesse Lonis raised to 65,000 from the cutoff and called off his stack of 470,000 when Michael Berk jammed from the big blind.
Jesse Lonis: 9♥9♠
Michael Berk: A♣2♣
Lonis was miles in front, and had Berk drawing thin after the K♣J♠7♥ flop.
"Good turn," said Berk when the 10♣ gave him a flush draw.
Berk then extended his GG's to Lonis after he made his flush on the 5♣ river.
David Coleman limped in from the small blind and called when Adrian Mateos made it 105,000 from the big blind.
The Q♥10♠6♦ flop checked through to the 5♠ turn. Coleman bet 240,000 and Mateos called, leaving him with 340,000.
On the 10♥ river, Coleman used a time bank before sizing down to 180,000. Mateos used a time bank and then made it 520,000 which received a quick fold from Coleman.
Jesse Lonis opened to 65,000 from the cutoff and called when Nicholas Seward moved all in for 65,000 from the small blind.
Nicholas Seward: A♥J♦
Jesse Lonis: K♥J♥
Seward was miles in front and doubled up after the A♠7♣2♦J♠2♠ runout.
Matthew Wantman was all-in and at risk to Jesse Lonis for his last 90,000.
Matthew Wantman: 8♦8♥
Jesse Lonis: A♠J♣
Wantman remained ahead on the Q♥10♣2♣ flop, but Lonis picked up a Broadway draw. The 8♠ turn gave Wantman a set, but added more straight outs for Lonis.
The 9♦ river gave Lonis his straight, and "Bucky" was eliminated in 9th place.
David Coleman opened to 60,000 from the button and called when Adrian Mateos jammed for 440,000 from the small blind.
Adrian Mateos: Ax8x
David Coleman: A♥7♥
Mateos paired his eight on the Q♥10♣8♠ flop, but Coleman turned a load of outs when the 9♣ arrived. The river was the 4♠ and Mateos doubled.
There was a big pot between Nicholas Palma and David Coleman, who were in the blinds.
The board read K♥9♠7♥Q♣ and Palma bet 290,000 from the small blind. Coleman called.
On the K♦ river, Palma used up two time banks, before making it 390,000. Coleman then used two of his own, and then made it 1,140,000.
Palma was sickened, and folded after some thought and then told the table how bad he runs at the end of tournaments.
