Nick Schulman

Nick Schulman shoved all in for around 120,000 from early position and got a call from the player in the hijack. Francisco Benitez then shipped all in from the cutoff, which got the rest of the table to fold.

Nick Schulman: AQ All in
Francisco Benitez: JJ

Schulman shot into the lead on the 7A4 flop and was the favorite to double up, however, backdoor spades gave Benitez a flush as the runout of 95 sent Schulman to the rail.

Dimitar Danchev
Dimitar Danchev

Dimitar Danchev opened 21,000 in early position and Chance Kornuth called in the cutoff before Francisco Benitez three-bet 90,000 out of the big blind. Danchev responded with a four-bet jam of 335,000, forcing Kornuth out of the pot and Benitez instantly called.

Dimitar Danchev: AQ All in
Francisco Benitez: AK

Danchev was dominated as the dealer put out the KQ3 flop, pairing both players. The Q turn gave Danchev trip queens to take the lead though and the 7 river changed nothing.
