Set of Sixes for Valasky

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Juraj Valasky bet 7,500 into a pot of 12,000 on the {q-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{a-Hearts} board after the turn. Hadell Borgi raised to 18,000 before Valasky quickly jammed to 44,000. Borgi called for a good portion of his stack and players showed their cards.

Juraj Valasky: {6-Hearts}{6-Spades}
Hadell Borgi: {a-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}

Borgi was drawing dead and Valasky doubled up after a blank came on the river. Shortly after, Borgi dusted off the rest of his stack and hasn't re-entered as of yet on Day 1c.

Bobby James

Bobby James opened for 2,500 from early position and was called by a player from middle position.

Full House for James

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

Poker player, streamer, and commentator Bobby James opened to 1,600 from middle position and was called by the player in the cutoff.

Both players checked the {10-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{10-Spades} flop before James bet 1,500 on the {a-Clubs} turn. The player in the cutoff called before the {9-Clubs} river completed the board.

James fired out for 16,100 and the player in the cutoff called. James turned over {4-Diamonds}{4-Spades} for a flopped full house which was more than good enough to beat his opponent's {a-}{x-}

Bundik Runs His Rockets Into Quads

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

Martin Ilavsky bet more than the about 25,000 Norbert Bundik had remaining in his stack with about 30,000 in the pot on the {q-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{8-Hearts} board.

Bundik went into the tank for several minutes before another player apologized for calling the clock. Bundik called before time ran out but likely wished he found a fold. Ilavsky turned over {10-Hearts}{9-Clubs} for quad tens to send Bundik to the rail with {a-}{a-}.
