"You will have to pull these chips from my cold, dead hands!" Will Pengelly told the table as he raised to 4,500 from the hijack. Brian Kelly called in the cutoff, as did Joe Delgado on the button, and the big blind came along as well to make it a four-way affair.
All four players checked the 
flop, and action checked to Kelly on the turn. He bet 12,000, and Delgado jammed for 28,700. Action folded back to Kelly, who tanked for a few minutes before calling.

There was 12,000 in the pot on a board of

There was around 18,000 a pot between Mstr Lynch in middle position and his opponent in the big blind. The board read 
and the big blind checked. Lynch bet 7,500 and was check-raised. He immediately threw in a three-bet to put the player all in and the player called.
"Ace-jack and ace-jack?" questioned another player at the table. He went 0-for-2, but Lynch wasn't concerned.
Mstr Lynch: 
Big Blind: 
Lynch had the second nuts and was in need of holding against his opponent's two pair. The river came to unnecessarily fill him up to Broadway, sending his opponent packing along the way. With the pot, Lynnch has now eclipsed the 200,000-chip mark.

A player jammed for 23,100 from under the gun on a 
flop, and after the player next to act folded, Brian Kelly had a decision in the hijack. He studied the 40,000 already in the pot, then asked his opponent, "Jacks?" before making the call a few moments later.
Opponent:
Brian Kelly: 
The 
turn gave both players an open-ended straight draw, but Kelly's pair of kings would hold up after the 
river bricked off. Just to Kelly's right, defending champ Will Pengelly has been on a tear in recent levels, spinning up a 150k+ stack to contend for the current chip lead.
