Adam Owen and Rep Port both committed 1,400 chips to the pot before the flop with Owen in middle position and Porter on the button.

The flop was {10-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} and Owen checked to Porter who bet 2,500. Owen made a pot-size bet of 10,900 and Porter thought for a bit before moving Owen all in. Owen called.

Adam Owen: {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}
Rep Porter: {A-Spades}{7-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}

Owen had a flush draw and a pair of fives while Porter had a draw to the nut low, a worse flush draw of his own, and a pair of sixes.

The turn was the {10-Hearts}, not changing much, and the river was the {J-Hearts}. That meant with his tens and sixes, Porter would send Owen to the rail. Porter raked in the pot to move over 60,000 chips.

According to Brandon Shack-Harris action was limped six ways preflop.

"Have fun you kids," Rodawig said on his way out.

Dan Shak: {8-Spades}{5-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}
Esther Taylor: {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{9-Spades}

Taylor had top pair and the nut low draw while Shak had a straight draw and low draws as well.

The turn was the {3-Hearts} completing Shak's straight and the river was the {7-Clubs} so that meant that Shak and Taylor would chop the pot.

"Am I supposed to just put it in there?" Shak said asking Shack-Harris after the hand. "You're the expert."

"I'm not the expert in this game," Shack-Harris said. "Jesse's the expert."

Shack-Harris motioned to Martin who said a few words to Shak while laughing.
