Antonio Buonanno raised from under the gun and the player in the hijack three-bet all in for about 155,000. Buonanno made the call.
Hijack player: 6♣6♠
Antonio Buonanno: Q♥Q♠
The board ran out with a few more outs for the hijack 9♠5♠8♠2♥K♣ but in the end the queens held and Buonanno won the pot.
Level: 19
Blinds: 8,000/16,000
Ante: 16,000
Jared Jaffee was under the gun and raised to 30,000 and the small blind, Amir Mirrasouli called and the bubble boy in the big blind called for all of his chips 17,000.
The two players who were not all in checked down every street on the board of 9♠Q♥7♠10♠10♥.
Big blind player: 4♦8♥
Amir Mirrasouli: 10♠5♣
Jared Jaffee: A♦8♠
Mirrasouli won with trips.
Level: 18
Blinds: 6,000/12,000
Ante: 12,000
The dinner break chip leader Yuzu Wang bet 30,000 from the button and was met with a raise from Christian Cooper on the big blind for 65,000. Yuzu Wang responded with a shove and Christian Cooper snap-called for 350,000 which is a massive 35 big blinds.
Yuzu Wang: 10♣10♠
Christian Cooper: A♠K♣
A massive flip for a 72 big blind pot. There was no help for Cooper on the 8♥6♠4♠ flop, nor the 8♦ turn but the A♦ on the river gave Cooper the deadman's hand, but it gave the budding vlogger life and a huge stack.
It will be interesting to revisit this hand from Cooper's YouTube vlog Poker Esquire when it is uploaded!
The suspense of the bubble was intense and every all in that occurred doubled the at risk person from the other tables. Christopher Garman was the next player at risk as he moved all in from the hijack and the big blind had called.
Christopher Garman: K♣J♣
Big blind player: 10♥9♥
The board read 10♦10♠Q♣7♠A♠ and the ace on the river saved Garman from elimination as it gave him the straight.
Middle position jammed all in, and Champie Douglas made the call from the cutoff. After being directed by the tournament director, both players revealed their hands.
Champie Douglas: K♥K♠
Opponent: A♥Q♥
The board ran out 2♠9♠9♦8♦9♣ for Douglas to find the clean double up.
In the early stages of hand-for-hand play, Vincent Masino was all-in from early position and was called by a player with a covering stack in the big blind.
Vincent Masino: A♥J♠
Big Blind Player: A♦6♥
Masino had the dominant ace heading into the 5♥K♣Q♠ flop, but the board would pair on the Q♥ turn, giving the big blind player some life in the form of chop outs.
However, the 2♠ on the river would lock up the double for Masino to survive the bubble.
