With some 40,000 in the middle to the 6♠6♦3♦ flop, Igor Ovcharenko moved all-in and Derek Whelan called.
Derek Whelan: Q♥6♥
Igor Ovcharenko: Q♠Q♣
"Wow, wow ... now we know," another player at the table remarked when they spotted the cards of Whelan. There was no upset on the 7♠ turn and K♣ river for Whelan to double for 27,700.
Jessica Teusl three-bet to 12,000 out of the big blind and then called all-in when Steve Desjarlais jammed from an earlier position.
Jessica Teusl: A♣K♦
Steve Desjarlais: Q♥Q♠
The Q♦4♠3♣ flop all but sealed the fate of Teusl and she was drawing dead on the 4♣ turn, which made the 7♥ river a formality.
"Keep the seat warm, I will be back," Teusl joked on her way out, indicating that she will re-enter shortly.
Level: 9
Blinds: 1,000/1,500
Ante: 1,500
The action folded all the way to Gavin Andreanoff on the button who raised to 2,500 and was promptly met with a three-bet from Steven "Cuz" Buckner in the small blind to 6,500.
Andreanoff thought it over but folded fairly quickly. Buckner showed down the 7♣7♥ to scoop after what appears to be a good raise with the best hand.
On a flop of Q♠Q♣2♥, Julien Perouse check-called a bet of 4,000 by Hayden Toole and checked again the 8♥ turn. Toole bet 20,000 with little behind and Perouse jammed, Toole called it off.
Hayden Toole: 10♠10♥
Julien Perouse: K♥Q♥
Toole had just two outs but instead, it was Perouse who improved to quads with the Q♦ river.
"What is your alias online?" Arash Shahi inquired and Perouse grinned back "Giuseppe".
"Wait, you are Giuseppe? Fuck ... okay, we need to get a picture," Shah joked back and grabbed his smart phone.
Shah also mentioned that Perouse had flipped out Derek Whelan with ace-king versus jacks with another player claiming to have folded kings.
Michael Sklenicka then arrived with a fresh stack and asked if Perouse could give him some run-good chips.
As the hand concluded, Lexy Gavin-Mather passed by and remarked "kill me now ... I bricked an open ended royal flush draw".
Shaun Deeb was in the big blind in a heads-up pot against Cristian Nagaki on the button on a board of Q♥6♣5♥9♦.
Deeb bet 5,000 on the turn and Nagaki called. Deeb then moved all in for around 18,000 on the 10♥ river and his opponent snap-folded.
Yarron Bendor briefly exchanged some words with Asi Elias before he headed out of the tournament area. During the last break, Bendor has had an above-average stack but the last chips were pushed over to Fernando Gutierrez.
On a board of K♥8♣5♦A♥3♥, Gutierrez had flopped bottom pair and turned two pair with A♣5♣ to score the knockout.
Marc Lavergne was all in for around 8,000 against two opponents, including Sriharsha Doddapaneni.
The flop landed 6♥2♥5♦ and Doddapaneni bet 3,500 to get things heads-up.
Marc Lavergne: A♣5♠
Sriharsha Doddapaneni: A♥8♦
Lavergne had a big lead with a pair of fives and nothing changed on the runout of 7♦J♥ to earn him a triple.
