Kenneth Wright raised to 7,000 under the gun and Vincent Ramirez called in the cutoff. Landon Mabe then moved all in for 28,500 on the button, Wright reshoved, and Ramirez got out of the way.

Landon Mabe: 5♣5♠ All in
Kenneth Wright: 10♦10♥

Arturo Toscano came over from another table and began patting Wright on the back and chanting "ten, ten, ten" while the flop came 4♠J♣2♦. The rest of the board ran out J♥3♠, and Mabe was sent to the rail.

"Got an anti-sweat from the other table. That's fine," Mabe told Toscano on his way to the exit.

Around 60,000 was already in the middle as Derald Neugebauer, Matt Perlman, and Toran Tate went to a flop of 9♣3♥7♦. Neugebauer then moved all in for 48,000 in the small blind. Tate was in the big blind and tanked for a few minutes, but he eventually gave up his hand. Perlman, though, quickly called.

Derald Neugebauer: 7♣7♠ All in
Matt Perlman: Q♥Q♠

Neugebauer had outflopped Perlman's queens with a set of sevens, and the 7♥ turn improved him to quads. The river was the K♥, and Neugebauer doubled up.

"Can we get a bigger pot?" Neugebauer joked.

Michael Budde had a raise of 12,000 in front of him from the button before Nicholas Guglielmo moved all in for 30,000 in the big blind. Arturo Toscano then reshoved in early position, and Budde also called for his last 40,000.

The board ran out 4♦3♣3♠7♣A♠ and Toscano, who had been anxiously standing up from his seat throughout the day, let out a big cheer after securing the pot and double knockout.

"I don't know why you're so excited. You were ahead the whole time," Guglielmo told him as he and Budde headed off to the exit.

With around 40,000 in the pot on a board of 5♠9♦7♥8♦, Ricky Gebhart bet 15,000 from the cutoff. Trevor Lewis was in the big blind and tanked for a few minutes before calling.

The river was the 8♠ and and Gebhart moved all in. "I think you got me," Lewis said before calling for his last 29,000, and his suspicions proved correct as Gebhart turned over 9♠9♥ for a full house.

"I should've folded the turn," Lewis said as he mucked A♣A♦ and headed off to the exit.
