Gary Bolden raised from the hijack, Christopher Vitch three-bet from the cutoff, Matt Glantz called from the button, Nick Guagenti called from the small blind, and Bolden called.

On the J♣10♣8♠ flop, the action checked to Glantz who bet, Guagenti raised, and everyone called.

The repeat J♦ peeled off on the turn. Guagenti led, Bolden called, Vitch folded, Glantz raised, and only Bolden called.

The river brought the 3♦. Bolden checked, Glantz bet, and Bolden tanked for over a minute before he decided to flick in the call. He got the bad news immediately as Glantz revealed A♥J♥8♥2♠ for a full house as he raked in a massive pot.

Action checked to Zinno, who bet on the K♣J♦6♠ flop. Zappulla folded and Kalas called.

Kalas check-called another bet from Zinno on the 2♥ turn and then both players checked on the 5♠ river.

"Aces," Zinno said as he fanned out A♣A♦9♦2♠. Kalas mucked and Zinno added to his stack.
