There was a huge pile of chips in the middle and the board read 
when we got to the table. Bryce Yockey checked from the big blind to his lone opponent, Robert McLaughlin, who was on the button. McLaughlin shoved for what looked like about 100,000 and Yockey instantly called to put McLaughlin at risk.
Bryce Yockey: 
Robert McLaughlin: 
Yockey had turned a wheel plus a flush draw and McLaughlin needed the board to pair on the river in order to survive. After the 
fell on the river completing Yockey's flush, he took the pot to send McLaughlin to the cage and seize the chip lead.

With the 
lying on the flop, Phil Hellmuth was in the cutoff with 29,000 in chips stacked in front of him. Bryce Yockey, sitting under the gun, raised all in and Hellmuth called for about 30,000 more.
Hellmuth: 
Yockey: 
Both players had similar hands but Yockey hit the 
on the turn while the 
river gave the same low to both players. Yockey took three-quarters of the pot and Hellmuth sent him half of his belongings.

Paul Jackson was in the big blind and already had his stack in the middle against two other players when we got to the table: Eli Elezra in the small blind and Dylan Linde in the hijack.
The flop came 
and Elezra checked to Linde in the dry side pot. Linde bet the pot for 88,500, sending Elezra into the tank. After over three minutes, he ultimately folded.
"Worst laydown of my life," Elezra said.
Paul Jackson: 
Dylan Linde: 
Linde had flopped a wrap and his low draw was superior to Jackson's, but he needed to improve in order to win the pot. The 
on the turn and 
on the river were no help to Linde and Jackson scooped the pot with a pair of threes to triple up.
