Action exploded on a 
flop between three players as the hijack bet 6,000 after a trio of checks, the big blind called, another player folded, and defending champion Reza Yazdi made it 13,000. The bettor shoved all in for about 23,000, the big blind called off for 19,000, and Yazdi snapped in there, covering everyone.
Yazdi: 
Hijack:
Big blind: 
The player in the hijack asked for a king and missed as Yazdi's boat held through the 
turn and river. He then berated the player in the hijack, saying he made a mistake that cause Yazdi to come along preflop and outflop him. The defending champ is off to an excellent start.
Elsewhere, Kris Wagner is down to 5,700 after value betting top pair on the river in a three-way pot and then folding to a check-shove.
Players are on break for 10 minutes.
