Anthony Luong raised to 8,000 in the hijack and was called by Kash Corpening in the hijack, Matthew Riebel in the cutoff, and AJ Johnson in the big blind.

Johnson bet another 45,000 on the A♠ river, and Riebel folded this time.

At another table, John Major had bet 11,000 from the cutoff on a flop of 7♣5♦6♦, then called when Neal Liptak shoved for 66,000 in the big blind.

Neal Liptak: 8♥4♥ All in
John Major: J♦J♥

Liptak had flopped a straight against Major's jacks, and the 2♥ turn and A♠ river secured him his double up.

Toler Avoids the Temptation

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Nicholas Rigby moved all in for 68,000 in the hijack as action went on Cecil Toler in the small blind. He tanked for a minute before folding, while Vernon Baker quickly gave up his big blind.

Toler then showed the table he folded 3♣2♠. "I wanted to call with it," he said with a laugh.

"Who cares about winning the tournament. Just have some fun," Z Stein added.
