They checked the {j-Clubs} on the river and the small blind showed {9-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}, Rastogi mucked and Wakeman claimed the pot with {a-Hearts}{10-Spades}.

Two tables over, big stack Samuel Dessaix-Porter raised to 3,500 and Craig Blight defended the big blind. They checked the {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}{3-Spades} flop and Blight check-folded the {k-Spades} turn to a bet worth 6,000.

Ryan Bownds

Picking up the action on the {6-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{10-Hearts} turn, Ryan Bownds check-shoved his remaining stack of 53,600 when facing a bet worth 9,000 by Yisi Zhang and the latter reluctantly called.

Ryan Bownds: {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}
Yisi Zhang: {a-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}

The river came the {2-Diamonds} and that improved Zhang to the nut flush, sending Bownds to the rail.

The board read {8-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{2-Spades}{8-Spades}{3-Spades} with 45,000 in the middle already.

Michael Tran shoved from the big blind to put Jason Sarkis at risk in the middle position with the shorter stack. Sarkis tanked for a while and then made the call for around 30,000. Tran tabled {7-Hearts}{6-Hearts} for the bluff while Sarkis held {a-Spades}{10-Clubs} for two pair to double up.
