On a 
flop we found Tex Barch firing out 7,000 only to have Dan Heimiller raise to 19,000 to force the third player in the hand out. Barch shoved and Heimiller made the call for his final 38,500.
Barch: 
Heimiller:

and 
on the turn and river would see him make a full house to best Barch's runner-runner nut flush. As Heimiller moves to 82,000, Barch slips down to 35,000 in chips.
Gavin Cochrane opened for 2,000, Sam Stein called from the cutoff and Mohamad Kowssarie called from the button. The flop came

Paul Volpe entered the pot from under the gun with a raise to 2,100 and was called by two players from the cutoff and small blind.
The flop was checked through before the small blind led for 4,500 when the turn landed the

.
Although Volpe collected the pot, he is only sitting at roughly 95,000 after starting the day at over 120,000. Looking around the table, we noticed that Benjamin Keiley had more than doubled his stack, and one can only assume, Volpe contributed to this.
