Justin Sharpe, who recently took his seat after winning a single-table satellite into today's flight, had a bet of 7,400 in front of him from the big blind, with a 
board out on the felt and 14,000 in the pot.
His opponent in early position jammed, putting Sharpe to the test for his last 16,100. Sharpe tanked for a minute, then folded.

A player limped in from under the gun, and Jeremy Liu raised to 900 in the hijack. The big blind three-bet to 2,500, and both the limper and Liu called.
Action checked to Liu on a 
flop, and he bet 4,200. The big blind check-raised to 10,000, and after the limper folded, Liu tanked for a minute before calling.
The big blind jammed for 18,000 after the 
hit the turn, and Liu immediately called.
Opponent:

Liu was ahead with his flush, much to the chagrin of his opponent, who shook his head and said, "Unbelievable!" at the sight of Liu's hand. Liu still needed to fade a heart to earn the KO, and did just that with the river.

Two familiar faces to the Colorado poker scene have been found in seats right beside each other, with Ben Keeline and Bobby Sanoubane both having recently taken their seats shortly after the break. Keeline has unsuccessfully tried to advance on both of the first two days, whereas Sanoubane flew in this morning and is looking to capitalize on the opportunity to find a bag on this last initial flight on the tournament.

A Poker Hall of Famer is in the field today, as 2006 Poker Hall of Fame inductee TJ Cloutier, who resides in Richardson, Texas, is out in the field, looking to add the 2019 WinStar Labor Day River Poker Series $1,500 Main Event title to his expansive list of career poker highlights.
Cloutier's poker accomplishments include six WSOP bracelets, two runner-up performances in the WSOP Main Event, and more than $10 million in lifetime tournament earnings, good for the number one spot in Texas's all-time tournament earnings list, and forty-fifth all time, according to Hendon Mob.
A recent hand with Cloutier saw a player open to 1,000 from the cutoff, and Cloutier called in the big blind. Action checked to the river of a 
board, where Cloutier checked again, and the cutoff bet 1,200. Cloutier showed his 
to the table before tossing it in the muck, but Cloutier still sits above starting stack in the final flight of the Main Event.
