Tom Guidon
Tom Guidon

Ray Espinosa open shoved and Tom Guidon pushed in behind him with just a few less chips.

Guidon: {4-Clubs}{4-Spades}
Espinosa: {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}

The flop fell {6-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{q-Spades} keeping the nines out front, but the miraculous {4-Hearts} turn gave Guidon a set. Down to two outs, Espinosa hit the {9-Spades} on the river and jumped from his chair as Guidon went out ninth.

Brandon Louvier

Brandon Louvier made it 150,000 to go before Gary Espinosa pushed all in having him covered.

Louvier tank-called with {8-Spades}{8-Clubs} and was well behind Espinosa's {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}.

The {j-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} flop was safe for Espinosa and Louvier looked all but dead after the {2-Spades} turn before suddenly spiking a set on the {8-Diamonds} river to come back to life.
