The action was missed on the hand, but Alex Keating explained that David "ODB" Baker got it all in with 6x6x but Keating already made a wheel straight with Ax5x to send him to the rail.

After a series of raises before the flop Brian Tate was all-in for 47,000, while Florian Pesce and Daniel Maczuga both put 48,000 in the middle.
The dealer fanned a flop of 6♠4♣2♠, and Maczuga check-called a bet from Pesce.
When the K♠ hit the turn, Maczuga check-folded to another bet from Pesce and both hands were tabled.
Brian Tate: K♣K♥
Florian Pesce: 8♠8♥
Tate was way out in front with his pocket tens and the 7♥ river changed nothing as he raked in the triple-up.
After check-calling for two streets on the board J♣10♦4♠7♠, Phil Hellmuth checked once more on the river 2♦ and Robert Wells decided to check back.
Hellmuth then flipped over K♣Q♦ for a missed straight and king-high, which looked like it was going to be good for a second, but then Wells rolled over A♦9♦ for ace-high to take the pot.
William Kakon raised on the button and Roland Israelashvili defended the big blind.
When the Q♠Q♥4♠ flop hit the felt, Israelashvili check-called a bet.
The 6♥ hit the turn and Israelashvili check-called another bet from Kakon, and the J♣ completed the board on the river.
Israelashvili checked once more and Kakon fired a bet. Israelashvili wasted no time making the call.
"You win," said Kakon as he pitched his cards into the muck. Israelashvili tabled J♠7♠ as the dealer pushed him the pot.
Florian Pesce opened under the gun and Daniel Budovsky three-bet next to act. The action folded back around to Pesce and he made the call.
Both players checked to the A♥K♥6♣10♠ turn where Pesce fired a bet and Budovsky called.
The 8♦ fell on the river and Pesce shot another bet across the line.
Budovsky gave it a few seconds of thought while saying aloud, "I don't know if I'm good enough to fold this hand. I have ace-king, I call."
Budosky rolled over A♠K♠, and Pesce silently pushed his cards face down into the muck.
"I told my wife i would make it to dinner earlier, but now I can only make it to dessert," birthday boy Kerry Welsh joked as he put most of his chips into the middle preflop and Daniel Budovsky just called.
On the flop A♦7♥8♣, Welsh moved the rest of his chips in and Budovsky quickly called.
"I think I send you to your wife this time," he said as he rolled over A♥8♠ for two pair.
"Yeah, I think you got it," Welsh replied as he tabled 5♣5♠, needing some help.
The runout of J♣4♠ changed nothing and Budovsky was awarded the pot while Welsh went off to celebrate his birthday with his wife, now $3,024 richer.

Michael Reed opened in the cutoff before Dustin Dirksen three-bet from the small blind. Reed called.
When the K♦9♠3♥ flop hit the felt, Dirksen continued with a bet and Reed made the call.
The A♦ fell on the turn and Dirksen fired another bet into the center. Reed stuck around with a call.
The dealer rolled the 6♥ on the river and Dirksen pushed a bet across the line. Reed snapped it off to see the Q♦9♦ of Dirksen before tabling A♠J♠, turning a pair of aces.
"That one's for my dad!" Joked Reed, mentioning his dad at home sweating the updates.
