: Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Edwin Lopez raised to 5,000 in the big blind and was called by Billy Melton under the gun, Dennis Limberhand in middle position, and another opponent in the small blind.
Lopez moved all in for 15,000 on the K♠Q♣J♣ flop, and all three opponents called. The turn was the 3♠ and Limberhand bet 15,000. The small blind then moved all in for 25,000, Melton reshoved for 38,000, and Limberhand called.
Melton showed K♣J♥ for two pair, Limberhand had A♣K♦ for top pair, the small blind 3♣2♣ for a pair and flush draw, while Lopez had Q♠10♠ for his own pair and flush draw.
The river was the 8♥ and Melton remained in the lead to scoop the pot, sending both the small blind and Lopez to the rail while earning a double up off Limberhand.

Kevin Ellis, Leonard Burke, and Virgil Taylor went to the turn on a board of 4♥4♠10♦J♣ with around 15,000 in the pot. Ellis then got in his last 22,000 from the hijack, Burke reshoved in the cutoff for 45,000, and Taylor put both players at risk in middle position.
Burke showed A♣Q♠ for a straight draw, but he was already drawing dead as Taylor turned over 10♥10♠ for a flopped full house. But Taylor had just one out, for Ellis showed 4♦4♣ for flopped quads. The river was the J♠ and Ellis took the pot to triple up, while Burke was sent to the rail.
