Chip Counts
A player in the hijack raised to 1,500 and Logan Langley called in the cutoff before Tom Fehr three-bet to 5,000 in the big blind. The hijack then moved all in for 25,000, Langley called for his last 15,000, while Fehr also called to put both opponents at risk.
Logan Langley: 2♠2♦
Hijack: K♣Q♥
Tom Fehr: A♦K♥
"Best case scenario," Langley said as the J♦5♥5♠ flop kept him in the lead with his deuces, but Fehr hit the K♦ on the turn to make two pair with an ace-kicker. The river was the 10♥, and both Langley and the hijack were sent to the rail.

Jeffrey Sainsbury moved all in for his last 5,000 under the gun, Naga Valiveti also shoved for 15,000 in middle position, while William McCracken put both opponents at risk from early position.
Jeffrey Sainsbury: 8♠8♥
Naga Valiveti: J♣10♣
William McCracken: A♦Q♦
McCracken hit top pair on the Q♣7♣6♥ flop, while Valiveti picked up a flush draw. The 3♠ turn was safe for McCracken, and the 10♥ river secured him the pot as Sainsbury and Valiveti were both sent to the rail.
Bambi Asher moved all in for 10,000 from the cutoff on a board of 8♦A♣4♥7♠ and Nicholas Hebert called in early position. Asher showed A♥J♠ for top pair, but Hebert had her out-kicked with A♦Q♦.
The river was the 8♣, and Hebert stayed in the lead to send Asher to the rail.
RunGood ambassador Jeff Copeland recently took his seat in the field.
At another table, Jimmy Litton has built up a stack of around 100,000 and is in contention for the chip lead.
Tom Fehr raised to 2,000 in early position before Naga Valiveti moved all in for 15,500 on the button. Ricky Gebhart reshoved for 30,000 in the big blind, and Fehr snap-called to put both opponents at risk.
Naga Valiveti: 10♠10♥
Ricky Gebhart: J♣J♠
Tom Fehr: K♥K♠
Fehr turned over two kings and had both opponents crushed, but the J♥4♠2♣ flop gave Gebhart top set and the lead. The rest of the board ran out 7♥9♥ and Gebhart scooped the pot, earning a double up off Fehr while sending Valiveti to the rail.
"May the second best hand win," Gebhart said.
