Jonathan McCain opened to 700 from under the gun and Scott Bohlman called from the hijack. The small blind called and the big blind put in a three-bet to the minimum, 1,200. McCain went all in for 1,700, with an effective minimum four-bet. Bohlman thought for a bit and eventually folded. The small blind called the 1,700 and the big blind announced a pot-sized reraise. The isolation raise worked, getting the small blind out of the pot to run the cards in a heads up situation where McCain could find more than a triple.

The board ran out and McCain took down the pot with his trip sixes.
A few more faces have been spotted throughout the room including Bryce Yockey who just took third place in Event #78, $1:500 Pot-Limit Omaha Bounty for $77,893 and is wasting no time chipping up in the final PLO event of the summer.
A player was seen standing up, already all in and called as the river was being dealt to finish the runout. He was in for his last few chips with from the cutoff versus Conrad Fourie's in the big blind.
The board had run out and Fourie's set of fives was good over his opponent's top two pair, sending him to the rail.
With five players at the table, the player in the hijack raised to 300 and was called by Daniel Harmetz on the button. The player in the small blind called as well.
The dealer fanned a flop of and action checked to Harmetz, who made a pot-sized bet of 1,000. The small blind folded and the original raiser called.
The turn was and the original raiser led out for 2,500. Harmetz raised to 10,500 and forced a fold from his opponent.
Harmetz showed for a flopped top set that became second-highest after the turn. His opponent confirmed it was good, saying he had a queen and an open-ended straight draw.
There are a handful of familiar faces already in their seats to start the day, including Scott Bohlman who took third place in this event last year for $199,572.
