A player opened from early position and got one caller from middle position. Pete Gregory then three-bet from the hijack before the button four-bet all-in. The opener rejammed, the original caller moved all-in from middle position, and Gregory snapped it off for his 25,000 or so stack to create a four way all-in. The button had the smallest stack and the under the gun player had the largest stack as the side pots were configured.
Button: 10♠10♥
Middle Position: Q♥Q♦
Pete Gregory: A♠A♥
Under the Gun: Q♠Q♣
It was a wild cooler as the board ran out K♦8♥5♠3♦6♥ which was safe for Gregory. Many players came over to witness the hand as Gregory's aces held. Two players were eliminated and Gregory dragged a massive pot to move over 100,000.

Action was picked up on the A♥10♠8♣ flop in a single-raised pot between Neil Rauschhuber from middle position, Beilin Li from the button, Andres Zamudio from the small blind, and Allan Stonum from the big blind.
The action checked to Li on the button who bet 2,200 and all three opponents called.
The 3♥ turn checked through to J♣ river. The blinds checked to Rauschhuber who bet 5,000. Li then put in a raise to 19,500. Zamudio folded before Stonum called all-in for around 15,000, and Rauschhuber folded.
Allan Stonum: K♥Q♥
Beilin Li: Q♠9♠
It was a brutal river which saw both players river a straight. However, Stonum had broadway as he scooped a huge pot in this cooler scenario.

Maria Siangio opened to 1,800 from under the gun before Brittani Morgan jammed for 6,500 from the small blind, and Siangio called.
Brittani Morgan: K♥Q♥
Maria Siangio: 10♥10♣
It was a coinflip with Morgan picking up more outs on the 6♥5♥4♦ flop. She completed her flush on the A♥ turn. To add insult to injury, the river was the 10♦ to give Siangio a no-good set as Morgan secured the double.

Rian Valenti opened from early position before Douglas Dossett jammed his remaining 7,200 in the dark from the small blind. The big blind rejammed for around 16,000 and Valenti called to put both players at risk.
Douglas Dossett: 7♠2♣
Big Blind: A♦8♦
Rian Valenti: A♠8♠
Dossett found himself with the infamous seven-deuce after jamming blind. However, the Q♣7♥2♦ flop gave him two pair. The big blind picked up outs on the 5♦ turn before the A♥ completed the board. Dossett tripled with two pair while the others chopped the side pot.
