Thomas Taylor opened 1,000 in middle position and John Theisen three-bet to 2,800 next to act. The action quickly folded back to Taylor and he made the call.
When the A♠6♠3♣ flop hit the felt, Taylor check-folded to a bet of 2,200.
On the tail end of a K♠K♥2♣J♥9♦ board, Thomas Zanot bet 1,800. His sole remaining opponent reluctantly called from two seats over and Zanot tabled the 9♥8♥ for kings and nines, which ended up winning the pot.
Zanot has nearly tripled the stack he started with and is among the bigger stacks in the Horseshoe Event Center.
Chip Jett opened to 1,200 from early position and was called by the player in the cutoff, John Smith on the button, and both players in the blinds for a five-way pot.
Action checked to Jett on the 7♦10♥7♥ flop and he continued for 1,500. The cutoff and Smith called, but both blinds folded.
The Q♣ turn checked through and Jett fired 6,000 into the middle on the J♦ river. It was folded to Smith, who decided to look Jett up and Jett tabled A♠K♥ for Broadway.
Smith mucked and Jett was sent the pot.
The players are going on their final 20-minute break of the night. Below are some highlight hands from the last two hours of play.

Richard Johnson raised to 2,000 and then reluctantly called the shove of his opponent from two seats over for around 22,000 with the A♣10♣. He was up against K♦10♠ and remained ahead all the way on a board of J♠7♦7♥6♦8♣.
