Mario Navarro bet 14,000 in the cutoff, and the button raised all in over the top for 98,000.
Several players were between the two, and a few minutes went by before Navarro had a chance to act.
After a player in the big blind made a fold that looked like it hurt him, Navarro called the raise from the button, and the cards were tabled. Navarro had him covered.
Button:
Mario Navarro:
Navarro was ahead, and the flop of only made it better. The button needed running hearts that didn't pair the board to best Navarro's three of a kind.
A player not in the hand was asking for hearts to make it interesting, but Navarro paid him zero attention.
It would be the to make Navarro quads, and ending any hope of runner-runner for the button to pull ahead. The completed the board and made it official.
Navarro became one of the biggest stacks in the room, and people continued to talk about the hand at the surrounding tables while he counted his new chips.

Faraz Jaka pushed for 141,000 from the big blind for his entire stack, and one player wanted to see his holdings from the button. Jaka's opponent had him covered.
Faraz Jaka:
Button:
There was an ace in the window, but the flop was meant for Jaka as it came , giving him two pair over the button's top pair.
The turn didn't hurt Jaka, nor did the river.
Jaka cooly collected his pot, barely cracking a smile as onlookers commented on the weaker ace winning.

There was an early position open and four players called to go five ways to a flop.
Action checked through to the turn and checked again to Richard Malone, who bet 16,000.
Jimmy D'Ambrosio then raised it up to 39,000 from the big blind and Malone called.
The river brought the and D'Ambrosio shoved all in, enough to cover Malone's remaining 110,000.
After some time in the tank, Malone folded.
D'Ambrosio turned over for a stone-cold bluff, much to the amusement of the table.
"Sometimes you gotta bully with the nine-high," said D'Ambrosio.

Richard Malone had Daniel Biagini all in and at-risk preflop.
Daniel Biagini:
Richard Malone:
Malone was way in front with pocket aces and it stayed that way on the flop. The turn brought Biagini a glimmer of hope, and that prayer was answered on the river as Biagini made Broadway to crack aces and double up.
