There was 8,800 in the middle at the turn with the board showing Q♦9♠8♣8♠ and Dara O'Kearney bet 4,000 from the small blind which was called by the under-the-gun player.
The K♦ completed the board and O'Kearney continued for 5,000 and got a call from under the gun. O'Kearney tabled J♦10♦ for the flopped straight which was good enough for the acclaimed writer and podcaster to take down the pot.
Juan Riedinger raised under the gun to 1,200 and the player next to him shoved for his last 2,800 chips. It folded to Aaron Massey on the button who four-bet to 7,000 and Riedinger looked at Massey's stack before shoving. Massey called all in for a total stack around 26,000 to create a three-way showdown:
Aaron Massey: A♥K♣
Second player: A♦J♣
Juan Riedinger: 7♣7♠
The board 8♣2♠9♥10♠J♥ improved Riedinger's hand into a straight to scoop the pot and bust two players in the process.
Level: 4
Blinds: 200/400
Ante: 400
The players are now on their way to the first 20-minute break of the day. Play will resume at blinds 200/400 with a 400 ante.
All the chips went in the middle preflop between Daniel Solorzano, at risk for his last 5,300 chips and holding 8♦8♠, against his opponent who held 7♣7♥.
Solorzano didn't get any bad surprise throughout the board 4♣J♣K♣10♠2♥ and took down the needed double up.
Adam Lamers bet 1,000 from the small blind and was raised to 3,000 by Kathy Liebert in the big blind that Lamers called.
Liebert bet 3,000 again on the monotone flop of A♣K♣8♣, which was called by Lamers. The 9♥ fell on the turn and Liebert bet 6,000 that put Lamers into the tank, eventually making the fold.
On a flop 5♣2♥3♠, both Loic Debregeas and his opponent checked. The turn was the 6♠ and Debregeas bet 700, called by his opponent.
The 9♦ river went check-check and Debregeas flipped over K♠3♣ for a pair of threes, which was good enough to win the pot.
In a heads-up situation, the board already showed 9♣6♠7♦2♦ when Roberto Damelian checked to his opponent who bet 4,000. Damilian tanked a minute and shoved for 11,000, which was snap-called by his opponent:
Roberto Damelian: 10♥8♣
Opponent: 6♥6♣
Damelian had hit the straight while his opponent held a set and Damelian doubled up after the J♦ failed to pair the board.
With 3,000 in the middle, four players saw the monotone flop of A♥Q♥2♥. The cutoff bet 2,800. Maria Konnikova in the big blind check-raised to 9,000.
Both under-the-gun and early-position players quickly folded. The cutoff thought about it for about 30 seconds before helicoptering his cards into the muck to give the pot to Konnikova.
