Chance Howell and Patrick Small got it all in on the turn with the board reading 2♦10♣7♦10♠, with Small being the one at risk.
Patrick Small: K♣K♥
Chance Howell: J♦10♦
The 6♦ rolled off on the river and Small was sent to the rail once again, not having the best luck with pocket kings today.
After a swingy few levels, Howell's stack is back on the rise.

Austin Gates: Q♠J♠
Frank Lucero: Q♣10♣
James Armstrong: A♠A♣
The board ran out 5♥, 2♠ with Gates dodging a club to hold and scoop a massive pot. Armstrong pulled in the small side pot.
