Marlon Brown moved all in for 14,900 from the big blind on the 2♣3♣J♦ flop, and was at risk when Christina Hicks shoved her covering stack from under the gun.

Michael Esquivel bet 13,000 on the 3♥6♠2♦J♦ turn, and Nathan Johnson replied by moving all in for 47,800. Esquivel went into the tank, taking several minutes before standing up to study his opponent.
