Yongil Park opened to 2,000 in middle position and Robert Michael called on the button, while the big blind also came along.
Park continued for 2,000 on the flop of 3♦6♠J♦ and only Michael called. Park then sized up to 5,000 on the K♠ turn and Michael again called.
Park slowed down on the 8♣ river and Michael bet 13,000. Park folded as Michael proudly showed J♣J♠ for a set of jacks.
William Willis limped in from under the gun and the cutoff raised to 2,500 to start a calling train that included Chris Battaglia on the button, the small blind and Willis.
Action checked to the raiser on the flop of 4♦8♦J♥ and he continued for 6,000. Battaglia and Willis both called. Battaglia and Willis checked again on the A♥ turn and the cutoff sized up to 12,000. Battaglia raised to 35,000 to bring folds from both opponents.
"I'll show this one," Battaglia said before flashing 4♣4♠ for a set of fours. "The next one is Pay Per View."

Players have been sent on their first 15-minute break of Day 1b with the clocks showing 87 players out of 117 runners remaining.
A middle position player opened to 1,500 and Teerakun Karnchanakphan and Jacob Corral called out of the blinds.
The flop of 6♦2♦9♥ checked through and the same action took place on the 9♣ turn. Corral then bet 3,200 on the 5♠ river and the middle position player raised to 11,000. Karnchanakphan folded and Corral three-bet jammed his remaining stack. The opponent faked an all in and then folded in defeat.
"Wouldn'ta been a wise move," said Corral. "You're smarter than you look. I hit a gutter on the river."
"I'm done," the opponent replied in friendly banter. "I'm going to do what every old guy does; 15x."
