David "ODB" Baker raised on the button to 16,000 when Jiyang Gan three-bet the pot to 56,000 from the small blind. Then the big blind Andy Black four-bet the pot, which got Baker to quickly fold. Gan then made the call for his last 105,000 chips.
Jiyang Gan: K♠K♦5♥5♦4♠
Andy Black: A♠A♦8♦4♣3♣
Gan was at risk and behind the aces of Black but after the board ran out Q♦K♣3♠7♠3♥ he improved to a full house to double up.

Pot-Limit Omaha
Joey Couden raised from under the gun and Allan Le defended his big blind.
On the A♣10♣2♥ flop, Le check-called a bet from Couden.
The turn brought the J♥. Le checked, Couden bet the pot of 98,000, and Le took some time before he put in the call.
The 9♥ peeled off on river. Le checked for a third time and Couden potted for 284,000 effective to put Le at risk. Le did not take long before he shrugged and put in the call.
Allan Le: A♦Q♥J♣7♦
Joey Couden: K♦K♣7♥7♣
Le made the hero call with top two and Couden made a courageous bluff with blockers to the nut straight. Le's call earned him the biggest pot of the tournament by far.

Jiyang Gan raised to 20,000 from the hijack and was called by Noah Boeken on the button. When action folded to the big blind Daniel Weinman, he called all in for his last 20,000.
After the 7♥6♣J♣ flop both Gan and Boeken checked.
The turn brought the Q♥ and Gan led out for 40,000 which got Boeken to fold and leave Gan heads up with Weinman.
Daniel Weinman: J♥7♠5♣2♥
Jiyang Gan: A♣Q♣9♥7♦
Weinman had two pair with jacks and sevens, but Gan had the better two pair. After the 10♦ on the river did not improve Weinman's hand, he was eliminated.
