Players have been sent on the first break of the day and will return to blinds at 300/600 with a 600 big blind ante.
Action went four-ways to a flop of 5♣10♦K♣ and it checked through to the 6♠ turn.
It checked over to the hijack who bet 2,500, the small blind called, and Jacob Raley moved all in for 5,900 in the big blind. Late position folded, while the hijack and small blind both continued.
The 3♦ fell on the river, resulting in checks from the small blind and hijack for the side pot. Raley tabled 6♥5♥ for two pair, sixes and fives, besting the A♦10♠ of the hijack and 10♥7♥ of the small blind.

Eric Bunch made it 1,500 to go and was called by four other players as the flop came 2♣3♣Q♥. The players in the blinds checked and Bunch tossed out a continuation-bet of 4,000. Joshua Finnigan bumped it up to 15,000 in the hijack and it folded back around to Bunch who called for less to put himself at risk.
Eric Bunch: 9♦9♥
Joshua Finnigan: K♣Q♣
The board ran out K♠, A♣ with Finnigan improving to a flush on the river. Bunch elected to rebuy and received a fresh 30,000 starting stack.

Action went six-ways to a monotone flop of 10♣3♣8♣ where it checked around to the player in the cutoff who bet 3,500. Heather Alcorn flatted on the button and it folded back around to Zechariah Armendariz in middle position, who was the initial preflop raiser. He moved all in for 17,100 total to put himself at risk, prompting the cutoff to get out of the way. Alcorn sighed and made the call after a brief moment of thought.
Zechariah Armendariz: A♣A♦
Heather Alcorn: 3♦3♥
Alcorn improved to a full house as the board ran out 6♦, 8♠ and Armendariz was sent packing.

Action picked up on the turn with a sizable pot brewing between Tekk Lai in early position and Ryan Anderson in the big blind.
With about 25,000 in the middle and the board reading 10♠6♥8♠K♣, Anderson moved all in to put Lai at risk who had roughly 20,000 behind. After taking a moment to think through his decision, Lai made the call.
Tekk Lai: 10♣9♣
Ryan Anderson: J♠J♥
Lai was behind but still had outs with a ten, nine, or a seven to stay alive. The 8♣ river offered no help and Lai was sent to the rail, where he opted to rebuy for a fresh 30,000 starting stack.

Marlon Gabriel raised to 1,800 in early position and was called by the player in the big blind.
The flop came Q♠A♥K♠ and the big blind check-called a bet of 2,000 from Gabriel.
On the 2♥ turn, the big blind check-called again, this time for 5,000. The river brought the K♦ and the big blind checked for a third time, with about 7,000 behind.
Gabriel thought for a brief moment before electing to check back.
"I have a boat, I don't know what's going on," he said as he tabled Q♣Q♥ for a full house, queens full of kings to take down the pot.

Daxton Alexander limped in early position, the player in middle position raised to 1,200, and Ryan Anderson three-bet to 4,100 in late position. The cutoff cold-called and Joshua Finnigan moved all in for 11,800 in the small blind to put himself at risk. Alexander then reshoved to isolate, and only Anderson called.
Joshua Finnigan: 7♠7♥
Ryan Anderson: A♥Q♥
Daxton Alexander: A♠Q♦
There were no aces or queens to be found on the 3♠J♣4♣9♦J♦ runout, earning Finnigan the triple up. Anderson and Alexander chopped the side pot.
