A player opened to 2,000 in early position and action folded to David Moses on the button who three bet to 6,000 which saw the initial raiser call.
The flop came out K♠Q♣5♣ and both players checked to the 6♥ turn where the early position player bet 6,500 and Moses called.
On the 3♥ river, the early position player bet 7,800 and Moses responded by moving all in for 59,400 effective and his opponent went into the tank.
"I actually have something," he lamented while Moses stayed silent, donning his iconic grinch hat. After some more time, the other player flashed a K♣ and tossed his hand into the muck while the bracelet winner raked in the pot to add to his growing stack.

Josh Arieh raised to 2,100 in early position and was called by Daniel Ott in the hijack and Aaron Frei in the small blind. The flop came 10♦9♦8♠ and Arieh continued with a bet of 3,500. Ott quickly folded but Frei check-raised to 11,000 which Arieh called.
The turn brought the 4♦ and Frei checked again. Arieh counted out a bet of 13,000 and Frei stuck around for the K♣ on the river. Frei checked once more and Arieh reluctantly checked it back. "I can't believe I'm checking this," Arieh said.
"You're the luckiest player in the game," Frei said as he revealed Q♠J♠ for a straight. "You probably have a flush."
"I'm the luckiest player in the game?" Arieh questioned as he sheepishly mucked his cards.
Frei continued to ramble about how many more chips he should have won and how the hand played out while he collected the pot.

"We have a big one brewing here," a tablemate said as Robert Kessler, Quincy Borland, and Krzysztof Mielnik built a pot of around 45,000 on the 3♠5♦K♦ flop.
Mielnik, on the button, bet 15,000 before Kessler tossed in 75,000 from early position. Borland tanked for several minutes before he folded, while Mielnik took his time before joining him in the muck.
The next hand at this table, Freddy Deeb bet 4,000 on a flop of 3♦3♠7♠ before Mielnik raised to 10,000. Tinay Aksoy, in the small blind, then moved all in for 55,000.
Deeb quickly folded, but Milenik went into the tank for another few minutes before he again folded.

Elaine Luo in the small blind led out for 3,000 and all remaining players folded.
Adrian Mateos: J♥8♦
Elaine Luo: A♥8♥
Mateos was sent to the rail but still found time to take a selfie with Luo before he left.
