Mike Dahl limped in the cutoff, as did the player on the button. The player in the small blind completed and Chance Howell made it 31,000 to go in the big blind. Only Dahl continued.
The flop came 9♥Q♣K♦ and both players checked to the 4♠ turn. Howell bet 33,000 and Dahl made the call.
On the 3♠ river, Howell checked and Dahl announced "queen" before turning over Q♥10♥.
"Good hand," commented Howell before mucking his cards.
Dave Mize and Travis Martin got it all in preflop, with Mize at risk.
Dave Mize: 7♦7♥
Travis Martin: 9♦9♠
Martin pulled ahead even further on the 10♦9♥K♦ flop, hitting a set. He improved to quads on the 9♣ turn and the meaningless 5♦ rolled off on the river.
Chance Howell opened with a raise from under the gun to 18,000 and Jeff Meier three-bet shoved for 72,000 to put himself at risk. Howell thought for a moment before flicking in the call.
Jeff Meier: A♣K♣
Chance Howell: A♦2♦
Meier pulled ahead further on the 8♠K♥9♦ flop, pairing his king, but Howell picked up a flush draw on the 10♦ turn.
The 3♣ river was a blank, earning Meier the needed double up.
