A player in the cutoff opened before Nicholas Stille three-bet from the small blind. With the action back on the cutoff, he jammed for 34,000 and Stille snapped it off.
Cutoff: Q♦Q♣
Nicholas Stille: A♠K♠
Stille commented with the obligatory "Fair fight" until the A♣J♠3♣ flop vaulted him into the lead as his opponent stood up and grabbed his backpack. The voodoo tricks came to no avail on the 2♣2♦ runout as Stille won the flip to surpass the 100,000 mark.
Phil Mader opened to 2,000 from middle position and Seth Frederici defended his big blind.
Frederici check-called a 2,000 continuation on the 10♣9♦7♣ flop.
The 8♠ turn checked through to the 10♦ river which saw Frederici check for a third time. Mader cut out a bet of 7,000 and Frederici took little time before tossing in the call. Mader tabled J♥10♥ for a the turned straight which was good to drag the pot as he becomes one of the largest stacks in the room.

A player in middle position opened to 1,500 and was called by the cutoff and button. In the small blind, Angela Jordison three-bet to 7,000 before the middle position player jammed for 20,200. Jordison sighed as she called as the slightly covering stack.
Middle Position: A♠Q♠
Angela Jordison: A♣J♣
Jordison was in bad shape on the 8♠8♣5♠ flop until the J♦ turn vaulted her into the lead and it stayed that way on the A♦ river as she flipped the script to scoop a sizeable pot.
