Liam Gannon

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Blair Hinkle raised to 3,000 from the hijack which saw a player call on the button and Terence Reid call in the big blind.

Action checked to Hinkle on the 3♦4♠8♠ flop where he continued for 4,000 which only the button called.

On the 10♦ turn, Hinkle bet 15,000 and the button wasted little time in calling.

Hinkle moved all in on the 2♠ river for 30,100 and his opponent went into the tank before tossing his hand into the muck. Ceding the pot to the WSOP bracelet winner.

Cameron Dugan: J♠J♣

The board ran out 10♦8♦2♦Q♦6♠ and the ace-queen paired up on the turn for the seven time RGPS ring winner to take down the pot.
