The full community was face-up, with on the felt and James Galloway bet 40,000 into a pot that was just under 50,000.
Brandon Lulov thought for quite a while before making the decision to call, and Galloway flipped over for two pair.
"Good hand," said Lulov as he shipped his cards into the muck, sending a large chunk of his stack over to Galloway who now is amongst the leaders of this flight.
Chase Griesbach opened to 4,000 from the hijack and Thomas Penza three-bet shoved for a total of 20,000 from the small blind. Blake Barousse jammed over the top, totaling 31,500 and Griesbach folded.

Blake Barousse:
The classic flip turned into a one-sided affair when Penza pulled a rocket on the flop to take the lead. The runout cemented it for Penza who lived to see another day.
Jason Obinger opened to 3,200 from under the gun and Michael Jozoff called in the hijack. Preston Duron shoved 27,200 on the button and David Mzareulov jammed over the top. Obinger and Jozoff folded.

The board came down and Mzareulov held strong to take it down, dropping Duron from the event just before break.

The window jack quickly had Noori stand up but the dealer then fanned out , giving him some outs to survive. One of those outs hit on the turn when a rolled out and Miller was then drawing dead to the river.
