Rafael Reis was all in, with less than one big blind in a hand against Darrin Gerr. Reis held Q♦7♣, while Gerr had A♦J♥. The board ran out 5♣K♠5♥7♦3♣ and Reis' pair of sevens kept his tournament hopes alive.
That was until the very next hand where Reis moved all in again from under the gun, and Gerr called.
Rafael Reis: Q♣5♠
Darrin Gerr: K♥9♦
The flop came 10♥6♦4♦, with Gerr still in the lead. The turn fell the Q♦, pairing Reis' queen. The J♠ river brought in a straight for Gerr, who scooped the pot and sent Reis to the rail.
Action picked up on the river with over 1,000,000 in the pot in a hand between Sean Yu and Irene Carey. With the board reading 7♣Q♦9♠4♥5♥, Yu checked and Carey bet 480,000.
After a moment of thought, Yu flicked in the call. Carey tabled 8♥8♣, for a pair of eights and Yu tabled A♣9♥, to take down the pot with a pair of nines.
