Levi Berger open-shoved for a stack worth 230,000 and it was quickly called by Liu Ozaonan in the big blind for the following showdown:
Levi Berger: A♦J♦
Qiaonan Liu: J♥J♠
Liu's hand stayed ahead throughout the board Q♠Q♦4♠6♥K♣ to give him the pot and bust Berger from the event.
Stanley Webb in middle position bet 35,000, while Rudy Cervantes in the hijack moved all in. Webb under-called for 230,000.
Stanley Webb: K♥Q♦
Rudy Cervantes: A♥10♥
Webb demanded paint from the dealer but did not fulfill his wish as the board of 8♥7♣2♣5♠7♦ favored Cervantes and Webb headed to the exit.
Action folded around to James Lim on the button who raised to 36,000. Asher Conniff checked his cards and announced all in from the small blind for 417,000 total.
The big blind folded and with action back on Lim, he asked for an exact count.
While the dealer broke down Conniff's stack, Lim and Conniff had a short conversation about his stack height before Lim said, "You just have sevens, huh?"
Conniff responded quickly by saying, "The kids these days, man. They're just too good!" insinuating that Lim had dead-called his hand.
Lim responded by saying, "Well, now i think you're just trying to tilt me into a call," before sliding his hand into the muck.
Conniff instantly slammed the 7♣7♦ into the middle of the table and said again, "I'm tellin' ya, man. These kids these days, they're just too good! And just so everyone knows, if you call out my exact hand and fold, I will always show it!"
Jason Oswald went all in under the gun for his last 109,000 and it folded to King Hyun Lee who reshoved own the button. The blind folded and they tabled their cards:
