Each table is now racing off the $1,000 yellow chips. Level 24 will begin shortly.
Three players were in for 130,000 a piece preflop, including John Roveto in the cutoff, Scott Davies in the small blind, and Jacob Rich, who was all in, from the big blind.
The flop came ![]()
![]()
and Davies checked to Roveto, who stuck in enough chips to put Davies all in for his last 230,000. Davies called instantly and hands were tabled.
Davies: ![]()
![]()
Roveto: ![]()
![]()
Rich: ![]()
![]()
Davies was well out in front, but would need to fade diamonds or runner-runner to survive.
The
turn gave Rich a tiny glimmer of hope, but the
river kept Davies out in front and he scooped the sizable pot.
Michael Rocco opened to 48,000 from under-the-gun, and directly behind him, Albert Knafo three-bet to 130,000. Action folded back around to Rocco, who called.
The flop came ![]()
![]()
and Rocco checked to Knafo, who continued for 83,000. Rocco then check-raised to 200,000. Undeterred, Knafo announced he was all in for about 500,000. Rocco snap-called and hands were revealed.
Knafo: ![]()
![]()
Rocco: ![]()
![]()
It was a stone bluff from Knafo, and he would need serious help to avoid elimination.
...but help did come — in the form of the
and the
on the turn and river respectively to give Knafo a runner-runner flush.
"I'm sorry, you're too good!" Knafo said as he collected the pot.

Dentale was slightly behind, but the ![]()
![]()
flop vaulted him into the lead with a pair of kings.
The
turn and
river changed nothing and Dentale doubled though.
John Roveto opened to 50,000 from early position and was called by Andrew Cooper in the cutoff. The player on the button then slid out two lavender stacks for a three-bet to 180,000. Action folded back to Roveto, who went all-in for about 500,000. Cooper folded, as did the three-bettor, and Roveto scooped the pot.
