Chip Ups and Double Ups in Quick Succession
Long Tran doubled through Naoya Kihara with A♠Q♦3♥2♣ versus K♥Q♣5♣2♥ when he made a pair and nut-low on the 10♦9♦4♦8♠A♦ runout.
Calen McNeil then chipped up without showdown when he bet the pot on the Q♥J♦4♥9♥ turn against Anton Smirnov before the latter was moved tables.
Dylan Weisman got it in with the A♣A♠5♠2♥ and Stephen Deutsch looked him up with the A♦K♦K♥6♠. The Q♦J♠8♥A♥3♣ board gave Weisman a set of aces and the second nut low to scoop, further denting Deutsch's stack.
Last but not least, Paul Volpe raised to 75,000 in the hijack and Joao Simao potted to 260,000 on the button. Volpe inquired with the floor if there had been a second elimination before he called. The 7♠5♠3♣ flop saw Volpe jam for 210,000 and Simao went into the tank.
They chatted back and forth and Simao casually dropped that he had double-suited aces and could not make a flush. He ultimately folded and Volpe asked if he could show the cards just to him before tossing them all the way over to the other side of the table.
"You can turn them over," Volpe added and the A♦7♦5x4x were shown for a mere second as Simao indeed flashed aces.
