Vanessa Kade in the big blind check-called a bet by Alexandre Reard on the 7♠6♠4♣ flop and did so again on the 7♦ turn. The 5♣ river saw Kade move all-in for 12,000 and that won the pot uncontested.
Joining the action on the four-way turn of 9♠6♥4♦7♥, Ronald McMillen bet 2,500 out of the big blind and was called only by Fabian Gumz in under the gun. The A♦ fell on the river and McMillen checked. Gumz took a while to bet and the quick fold of McMillen followed, who then complained about the time it took his opponent to act.
A player in early position raised to 1,200 before the flop, but promptly faced 3-bet action when Ben McCoy, who was in late position, made it 5,000. With the rest of the players folding, the original raiser made the call.
The dealer placed J♣5♠7♥ on the board, which McCoy’s opponent checked. McCoy made a 5,800 continuation bet, which his opponent called. The turn produced J♦, prompting both players to check.
The river saw A♣ on the board, which McCoy’s opponent checked.
“Sticky situation,” McCoy said before making a 3,000 bet.
McCoy tabled A♠Q♦ after getting a call from his opponent, who tossed cards in the air to the dealer.
After his ill-timed bluff at the end of the third level, James Vecchio nursed a short stack for a while. He eventually got it in for just 2,100 with the 2♦2♣ and was looked up by an opponent with the A♠9♦. The board came A♣8♥7♠8♦5♥ and that spelled the end for Vecchio.
"Three pocket pairs in five hands," he sighed on the way out.
WSOP bracelet winner Jeremy Wien, who in the big blind, found himself in brewing situation against Adrian Thomas, who was in early position on a board of 6♦K♣9♥.
Wien led into Thomas with a 600 bet, Thomas raised to 2,100, and Wien re-raised to 5,200, which Thomas called, pushing the pot to 13,000.
The dealer placed 6♠ on the turn, and Wien checked. Thomas, though, went all in for 27,200. Wien tanked for up to a minute, studying the board and repeatedly glancing at his opponent.
“I’ll pay you $100 if you show me your cards,” Wien said as he pushed his hand forward in a folding motion.
"Cash?" Thomas responded.
"Yes, cash," Wien said as he pulled out a $100 bill.
As the dealer secured Wien’s cards, Thomas tabled K♦9♦ for a flopped top two pair. Wien then paid the $100 to Thomas, while the dealer pushed the pot to the winner.
Four ways to the J♠3♠3♥ flop, Bo Jin bet 1,500 from under the gun and he was called only by the table big stack out of the big blind. There was no further betting action throughout the 9♥ turn and Q♠ river, as the big blind revealed the K♠J♣. Jin had that beat with the K♥Q♣ and raked in the pot, clawing his way closer to half the starting stack once again.
With some 3,000 in the middle to the J♦7♦6♥4♣10♠ river, the big blind checked and Nikita Kuznetsov made it 6,000 to go for two times the pot. His two opponents eventually folded and the Russian won the pot, as he remains just below the starting stack.
