The full 
board was already on the felt when Jeremy Pekarek made a small bet of 2,100 into a pot of 12,000 from the small blind. Richard Bai, who won September's Main Event here with the WSOP Circuit, quickly raised to 13,000, enough to put Pekarek in for his last 11,000.
"Ace-eight of spades?" Pekarek asked Bai before flashing his 
up and folding. Bai just smirked and mucked.

A player raised to 300 from the cutoff, and Jorden Helstern called on the button. John Simon three-bet to 1,500 from the small blind, and only the cutoff called.
Simon placed 20,000 in the pot after the 
flop fell, putting the cutoff in for his last 2,900. The cutoff obliged with a quick call.
Opponent: 
John Simon: 
The cutoff's lead was short-lived, as the 
fell on the turn, giving Simon Broadway and leaving the cutoff drawing dead to a chop. The river bricked off, and the cutoff told Simon, "Good game," before making his exit.
