The first position player Yuxuan Deng raised for 11,500, the small blind player Tony San Marchi reraised all in for 16,000, and the big blind also went all in for 40,100. Deng called for the rest of her chips.
Tony San Marchi: A♥K♥
Yuxuan Deng: A♣K♠
Big Blind: Q♠Q♥
The cards came down 9♦8♠J♠9♥K♣ and the big blind became a short stack and Deng and San Marchi chopped.
A player in early position raised to 2,500 and was called by a player to his immediate left. Benjamin Treston then three-bet to 9,000. The original raiser folded, but the player to his immediate left called.
The flop showed 10♠Q♣6♥, which drew a check from the early-position player. Treston bet 1,000, and his opponent declared a check-raise all in, which Treston immediately called.
Treston: 10♥10♦
Opponent: A♥Q♠
Treston had middle set, but A♦ on the turn gave his opponent two pair and provided a sweat to the river. The dealer, however, placed 2x on the board to give Treston the pot and send his opponent to the rail.
On a flop of 10♥7♣2♥, Tommy Vu was seen with his stack of 29,400 across the line and his opponent had made the call, revealing both hands.
Tommy Vu: 7♠7♥
Opponent: J♥J♦
Vu had flopped a set of sevens and was able to hold as the board completed with the 2♣ on the turn and the 6♦ on the river.
Level: 8
Blinds: 500/1,000
Ante: 1,000
A late position player limped and Eric Pfenning raised on the button to 3,000. The late position player called.
The flop came out as 2♦J♥5♦ and Pfenning bet 4,000 while the late position player shoved his stack in for 17,700. Pfenning thought for a minute and called.
Late position player: 4♣4♦
Eric Pfenning: A♥Q♣
The turn brought the save for Pfenning with the A♦ and the J♣ on the river sealed the deal.
Robert Lekamof jammed under the gun for 9,500 and was called by Sumit Bhattacharya in middle position as well as the player on the button.
The dealer fanned a flop of 8♥6♣3♦ and Bhattacharya splashed a bet of 24,000 into the side pot. The player on the button thought about it for a few moments before making the call.
When the 4♥ hit the turn, Bhattacharya pushed in his remaining stack. The button asked for a count and after hearing it was 16,000, she tossed her cards into the muck.
Robert Lekamof: A♣9♦
Sumit Bhattacharya: 10♠10♥
Bhattacharya's pair was ahead and Lekamof couldn't find an ace as the 7♦ landed on the river.
Pete Morris found himself in a good spot to accumulate chips.
The player under the gun limped, and then a player in middle position raised to 3,000. Morris, who was next to act, moved all in. The button asked Morris for a chip count.
“About 27,000,” Morris replied.
The button eventually called, an action that caused both blinds, the player under the gun, and the original raiser all fold.
“Aces?” Morris asked as he tabled Q♦Q♥.
“No,” the opponent replied as he showed 10♦10♥.
The board then ran out 6♣2♠A♥J♦5♠ giving Morris a much-needed double up.
With about 9,000 in the middle, the flop read A♥10♥2♣ and Tiffany Michelle check-raised the bet of 5,000 from Sabir Rasulov. The action was back on Rasulov and he jammed for 26,500 and Michelle called.
Sabir Rasulov: A♣J♣
Tiffany Michelle: A♦8♦
Michelle had flopped top pair but ran into a bigger kicker. Unfortunately for Michelle, the 4♣ turn and 5♠ river were no help as she was left with just 1,400 in chips.
A short-stacked David Clarke went all in and was isolated by the small blind. Soon they were heads up, with cards on their backs.
David Clarke: K♣J♦
Small Blind: J♥J♣
The flop fell 7♠K♦3♠, leaving Clarke feeling rather comfortable as the 3♦ and 9♥ fell, awarding him the pot.
The moment was bittersweet for Clarke, as just some five hands earlier, he had run his kings in the the aces of Bill Nichols.
Nichole Limo Greene was also spotted at this table. She finished in fourth place in this very event for $116,568 just last year.
