After a couple of limpers, Jesse Jones opened to 13,000 and only one player made the call to see the flop of 3♥Q♠2♥.
Jones then down-bet to 8,000 which his opponent quickly called to see the J♥ on the turn. Both players decided to check and see a free river card which appeared in the form of 5♠.
His opponent then fired out for 18,000 and Jones went into the tank. After a few seconds, he decided to make the call and was shown A♥K♣ for just ace-high. He then tabled 7♦5♣ for a pair of fives on the river to take down the substantial pot.

The remaining players in Flight 1b are now on their third break of the day and will return to battle shortly.
After the flop of K♦9♥7♣, Preston McEwen, Zachary Carroll, and Andre Allen all went to a turn 10♠.
McEwen then led out for 7,500 but was then immediately raised to 25,000 by Carroll to his left, followed by an all-in by Allen for less.
McEwen then made the call, leaving himself with only 6,000 behind, and they went to a river 2♦. McEwen then checked and Carroll quickly checked back. McEwen then tabled K♠10♣ while Allen also tabled K♣10♦ for the same hand of two-pair while Carroll hastily mucked.
