Tu Huynh just knocked out a player when his bested the of his opponent. The two players got the chips in preflop and when the board ran out , it was the quads of Huynh that took it down.
"That's the fourth set I've flopped today," Huynh told us.
We picked up the action on a board contested by Eddy Sabat and the player to his immediate left, Brandon Cantu. Cantu had 4,425 chips in front of him and Sabat reciprocated with a call.
The river was the and Sabat checked to Cantu who bet 8,725. Sabat quickly made the call and Cantu turned over for a strait. Sabat immediately said, "So sick!" as he mucked his cards towards the dealer.
Unfortunately for Sabat, he won't be able to extract revenge. Not yet anyway, as that was the last hand played at the table before it was broken.
Sam Barnhart and another opponent got in a raising war preflop that saw Barnhart call off the rest of his opponents stack, which was about half of his own. The cards were tabled, and Barnhart would need a lot of help.

The board ran out , and Barnhart never caught up, shipping the double over to his opponent and knocking him down below his starting stack.
We missed the action, but we saw that La Sengphet was packing up her stuff, and heading to the rail. It looked as though Sengphet got her money in after flopping bottom two pair, but ran into the middle set of her opponent. Sengphet couldn't watch the miracle, and she has been eliminated from the event.
The action was heads up on a board and Gavin Smith was first to act. He elected to bet 3,700 and was called by his opponent.
The river was the and this time Smith bet 6,500. After some thought, his opponent called again and Smith tabled . It was good enough to ship him the pot.
We are 6 levels in, and the players are on another 15 minute break. When they return, we will play two more hours before we will be done with the night!
The board read out , and there was 2,025 in the pot with five players in the hand. It was checked around to the cutoff, who bet out 1,300. Allen Carter was next to act on the button, and he went all in for about 6,000 more. Action folded back around to the cutoff, who made the call, saying "I hope you don't have King Jack" as he tabled . Carter responded with, "I DO have King Jack", showing for a better straight. Carter secured the double up, upping his stack back up close to the starting stack.
