Peter Alba got in preflop three ways with the {k-Spades}{j-Spades}, having a player on the {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} and another on the {q-Spades}{q-Hearts} both covered.

The {q-Clubs}{6-Spades}{j-Hearts} flop gave the queens a set. The {j-Diamonds} turn made Alba trips , but the queens filled up.

In the end, the {j-Clubs} river came down, making Alba made quads, felting both the shorter stacks and pushing him over 400,000.

Johnny On The Block

Rick Block
Rick Block

Rick Block made it 17,000, Geoffrey O'Connor three-bet to 37,000 and Block shoved for close to 150,000 total.

Block's tournament life was riding on pocket jacks and they held against O'Connor's {a-}{q-} to give him the double and continue O'Connor's slide down the leader board.
