Latka Spikes the River to Triple; Nelson Eliminated;
There was three-way all in action preflop, with Jeffrey Latka at risk for 700,000 from the small blind, Chris Nelson at risk for just over 600,000 from early position, and Erik Gault from middle position who had both players covered.
Chris Nelson: A♠Q♣
Jeffrey Latka: A♦K♣
Erik Gault: 10♥10♦
The J♣9♦5♣ flop kept the tens in the lead, and the 10♣ turn was a sweaty card, giving Gault a set, while Latka picked up the better flush draw.
The river was the 3♣, giving Latka the winner with a king-high flush, while Nelson was eliminated.
Shortly before the hand, Tal Ron was eliminated after getting his short stack into the middle with K♣6♣, falling to the Q♥3♦ of Osterbauer for about three and a half blinds.
Finally, at a third table, Jonathan Roeder and Aydan Saunders were tangled in a pot with the completed board reading 10♦8♠2♥3♥9♦. On the river, Saunders check-called a bet of 1,500,000 from Roeder, only to be shown 9♠9♣ for a set, leaving Saunders with 50,000.
