Action was picked up on the flop in a three-bet pot between Jose Reyes and Aftab Patni.
With the board reading 10♦7♣2♦, Reyes checked to Patni who bet 3,000 before Reyes check-raised to 8,600, and Patni called.
Reyes continued for 6,500 on the 9♣ turn before Patni jammed for 17,500 effective as the covering stack, and Reyes called it off.
Jose Reyes: A♣5♣
Aftab Patni: Q♠Q♦
Reyes had a flush draw and one over against the overpair of Patni who was a 3-1 favorite to hold. However, the dealer peeled the A♦ on the river as Reyes got there the hard way to scoop a massive pot.

Action was picked up on the turn with around 10,000 in the middle in a hand between Nikhil Sunku from the small blind and William Heher from the hijack.
With the board reading J♠J♥5♦10♣, Sunku led for 4,000 and Heher put in the call.
On the 7♦ river, Sunku quickly announced all-in for 32,000 effective as the covering stack. The overbet sent Heher deep into the tank for over three minutes before he eventually released his cards to the muck, and Sunku refused to show as he remained stoic

Derrick Johnson: 8♦8♣
It was a coinflip scenario until the J♥9♥4♦ flop vaulted Gatliff into the lead and he held through the 9♣7♦ runout to secure the triple-up.
