The cutoff raised to 4,000 and Nathanael Kogel called on the big blind. The flop came 4♠Q♣2♠ and the cutoff continued for 6,000 and Kogel made the call.
The turn was the 4♣ and Kogel came out betting for 8,000 and the cutoff called.
Both players checked the river A♠ and Kogel checked and the cutoff checked behind. Kogel turned over A♦4♥ for the full house and the cutoff mucked.
A player in early position raised to 4,000, receiving four calls from the player in middle position, Michael Wilklow in the cutoff, the button and the big blind.
Five ways to a flop that came 9♦6♣6♠, the action checked around to Wilklow, who made a bet of 15,000, nearly the size of the pot. All remaining players decided to fold.
Daniel Negreanu could be seen running to the late registration table as he exclaimed "Give me some chips! Give me some chips!"
As the floor provided him with a rack he announced, "Good luck to me!" while rushing to his table.
In middle position, Ping Liu went all in preflop with his remaining 21,400 chips. The player in the big blind had him covered and called for a heads-up battle.
Ping Liu: K♣Q♣
Big Blind: K♠J♣
The board showed 9♣Q♦3♦4♣J♦, and Liu’s pair of Queen’s secured him the double-up.
On the 5♠3♣2♦K♦ turn, Justin Tseng checked and his opponent bet 12,000 into the pot of about 13,000. Tseng check-raised all-in for 52,200 and his opponent tanked for about two minutes before making the call.
Justin Tseng: 6♦4♣
Opponent: K♥5♥
Tseng flopped the nut straight, and his opponent turned top two pair. Tseng managed to avoid the board pairing as the 7♥ fell on the river, sending the full double-up his way.
Level: 11
Blinds: 1,000/2,000
Ante: 2,000
A player opened in middle position to 3,200 and Max Kingstone defended the big blind.
The dealer spread a flop of K♥3♥3♣, and Kingstone check-called a bet of 3,000.
When the J♣ fell on the turn, Kingstone check-called once again, this time the bet was 10,000.
The 10♦ completed the board, and both players checked. Kingstone tabled K♦7♥, and his opponent mucked his hand.
The pot stood at approximately 12,000 with three players looking at a board that read 2♦8♣7♦.
All three players checked to the 10♠ on the turn. Florian Duta in the big blind took the lead for 8,500, a player in early position folded and Arnold Spee in middle position called.
The 4♣ river checked to a showdown. Duta tabled 6♠4♦ for just fourth pair. Seemingly out in front of Spee's hand, Duta claimed this pot.
On the K♦J♥J♣ flop there was about 9,000 in the middle, and Senthuran Vijayaratnam check-called a bet of 2,000 from his opponent.
The 6♠ fell on the turn, and Vijayaratnam check-called once again, this time the opponent bet 4,000.
When the 10♦ completed the board, both players checked. Vijayaratnam tabled Q♥10♠, missing his open-ended straight draw but rivering a ten. His opponent mucked his hand, and the dealer pushed the pot to Vijayaratnam.
The player under the gun raised to 3,600, finding three callers; Ross Denny in middle position, Jesse Yaginuma in the hijack and Hung Sheng Lin defending in the big blind.
On a flop of Q♠5♠9♦, the action checked to Yaginuma, who bet out for 6,000. Only Lin and Denny continued.
The J♥ turn checked through to the 2♠ on the river. Lin took the lead for 12,000, Denny folded and Yaginuma moved all in for 43,000.
Lin remained in the tank for some time before reluctantly making the call.
Jesse Yaginuma: 7♠6♠
Hung Sheng Lin: K♠10♠
Flush over flush sent Yaginuma to the rail.
