A player shoved all in for 10,400 from under the gun and action folded around to Jim Engelbrecht, who was on the button. Engelbrecht asked for a count and then shoved all in over the top. The two players in the blinds quickly folded and hands were tabled for the runout.
All-In Player:
Jim Engelbrecht:
"Aces," said another player at the table as the all-in player tabled his hand. "And queens," the player added upon seeing Engelbrecht's. Engelbrecht hit gin on the turn and faded the two outer on the river as the board came , giving him a full house to top his opponent's aces up. The newly-eliminated player got up and wished everybody at the table good luck as the pot was sent Engelbrecht's way.

An all in and a call were heard as Yao Yin had opened from the button and called Mike Wolff's three-bet all in from the small blind for 8,400 total.
MIke Wolff:
Yao Yin:
Wolff had Yin dominated and needed to fade the three tens in the deck to earn the double. He would do just that as the board came to leave his ace kicker to the board's pair of threes best.

There was about 40,000 in the pot from preflop action on a flop of and Alain Medesan had a bet of 35,000 out in front of him. Action was on Jason Zarlenga, who was on the button and in the tank.
Over a minute later, Zarlenga folded and Medesan took down the pot. Zarlenga asked Medesan what he had and Medesan remarked quietly in a manner that seemed cryptic, leading to some chuckles from their side of the table.
Zarlenga remarked back, saying he folded two queens.

Johanssy Joseph opened the action with a raise to 3,500 from early position and the player on his direct left called, also from early position. Action folded to Dan Goepel, who shoved all in from the hijack. The players behind him folded and Joseph followed suit to put action back onto the early-position caller.
The player asked for a count and Goepel's stack was totaled to be 33,300. A call was then announced and the two were off to the races.
Dan Goepel:
Early Position:
Goepel pulled ahead on the flop when he paired his ace and was able to hold as the turn and river completed the runout.

Hand #1: Robert Mitchell was under the gun and opened to 3,500. Action folded around to Lisa Thomas, who pushed forward all of her chips and announced a raise to 14,700. The math added up to prove she was all in and action folded back to Mitchell, who thought for a few moments before letting his cards go as well.
Hand #2: On the following hand, Phil Mader opened to 3,000 from early position and Thomas three-bet all in again. Action folded back to Mader.
"Easy," he said with a grin as he sent his cards to the muck.
Meanwhile, Thomas has increased her stack from 14,700 to 29,200 after winning the two consecutive pots and now finds herself with a workable 20 big-blind stack.
