There was around 5,000 in the middle, and the dealer fanned {j-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{j-Hearts}. Patrick Houchins was heads up with a player for the side pot, and there was a third player all in already, vying for the main pot.

The player checked to Houchins tossed who out 7,000.

"All in," the player announced.

"Do you really have queen-jack????" Houchins asked, flabbergasted. He tanked for about half a minute before finally calling.

Houchins{k-Spades}{j-Spades}
Opponent{j-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}
Short-stacked Player{a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}

The turn ({5-Hearts}) and the river ({8-Clubs}) both bricked, and Houchins doubled to over 50,000 chips.

Ari Engel is among the Day 1b chip leaders.

Ari Engel check-called a bet from an opponent with the board reading {7-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}, and the turn brought the {a-Hearts}. Ari checked again, and his opponent tossed out three orange T1,000 chips. Engel again called.

The {7-Spades} completed the board, and Engel checked a third time. The player fired another 4,000, and Engel check-raised to 13,850. Engel's opponent was very confused, but after tanking for nearly two minutes he called. Engel turned over {j-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} for trip sevens, and his opponent begrudgingly mucked.
